How many rounds of counselling are conducted by the NLU Consortium?

The NLU Consortium conducts three rounds of counselling for admission to its participating National Law Universities (NLUs) through the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). The counselling process typically starts after the announcement of CLAT results and involves online registration, choice filling, document verification, and seat allotment. The first round of counselling involves the allocation of seats based on the CLAT merit-cum-preference, followed by the second round, which offers candidates the option to upgrade or shift to higher preferences of NLUs. The third round of counselling is the final round, where the remaining seats are allotted to candidates based on their CLAT score and availability of seats. In addition to the three rounds of counselling, the NLU Consortium may also conduct a spot counselling round to fill any vacant seats in the NLUs. The spot counselling round is typically held after the completion of the third round of counselling and allows candidates who have not been allotted any seat in the previous rounds to participate in the allocation of vacant seats.
