The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) has officially released the first allotment list for the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) UG 2025. Candidates who appeared for the entrance examination can now view their allotment status by visiting the official website: consortiumofnlus.ac.in.
The first round of seat allotment includes admissions to participating National Law Universities across India. This step marks a significant phase in the admission process for law aspirants seeking undergraduate law programs such as BA LLB (Hons).
Seat Acceptance Options – Freeze and Float
Candidates who have received an allotment must now choose between the ‘Freeze’ and ‘Float’ options:
- Freeze Option: If the candidate is satisfied with the seat allotted, they can choose ‘Freeze’ to lock their seat and proceed with the admission process at the allotted NLU.
- Float Option: If the candidate wishes to accept the current allotment but is open to a better preference in upcoming rounds, they may choose ‘Float’. This allows them to be considered for higher-preference choices in future allotment rounds.
The deadline to make this choice is May 30, 2025. Students are advised to thoroughly understand the implications of both options before making a final decision.
