The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) will release the CLAT 2026 Answer Key on December 10, 2025 at 5 pm. The answer key will be available on the official website consortiumofnlus.ac.in. The CLAT 2026 exam was conducted on December 7, 2025 in pen-and-paper mode.
The consortium will publish the answer key in two phases — the provisional answer key, followed by the CLAT 2026 Final Answer Key. Candidates will be allowed to raise objections once the objection window opens.
CLAT 2026 Provisional and Final Answer Key Process
The consortium releases the provisional answer key to allow candidates to compare their responses and identify discrepancies. The CLAT Objection Window 2026 will remain open for 2–3 days, during which candidates can submit challenges.
All objections will be reviewed by experts. Based on this review, the consortium will issue the CLAT 2026 Final Answer Key, which will be used to prepare the CLAT 2026 Result. Only the revised final key will be considered for evaluation.
