CLAT 2026 Grievance Window Open: How to Challenge Results of CLAT

The Consortium of National Law Universities has officially released the CLAT 2026 grievance notice, allowing candidates to raise objections against the CLAT 2026 results and final answer key. Eligible candidates can submit their grievances through the designated online portal within the prescribed deadline. This grievance mechanism ensures transparency in the evaluation process and gives aspirants a fair opportunity to highlight discrepancies, if any, in the declared outcome.

CLAT 2026 Grievance Submission Last Date and Eligibility

As per the official notification, candidates who appeared for the Common Law Admission Test 2026 can submit objections on or before December 24, 2025. The grievance window applies to issues related to result computation and the final answer key only. Alongside the grievance process, CLAT 2026 Counselling registration has also commenced. Candidates must note that only those who complete counselling registration within the deadline will be eligible for seat allotment rounds.

• Last date to raise CLAT 2026 grievances: December 24, 2025

Missing either deadline may impact admission prospects at participating law universities.

Official Guidelines for CLAT 2026 Grievance Redressal

The authority has clearly stated that grievances will be accepted only through the official grievance portal. Submissions made through email, phone calls, or any other communication channel will not be considered. Candidates are also advised not to submit multiple grievances for the same issue, as duplicate submissions may lead to rejection. Importantly, no grievance fee is charged, making the process accessible to all candidates.
