CLAT 2026 Result Live Updates: Scorecards Expected to Be Out Soon, Know How to Check Scores

The CLAT 2026 exam was held on December 7, 2025, and now thousands of law aspirants are eagerly awaiting the results.

Whether you're aiming for admission to an NLU, planning your counseling options, or simply want to assess your chances based on your performance - knowing when and how to check your scorecard is now the top priority.

CLAT 2026 Result Expected Date & Live Updates

According to several news sources and official information, the CLAT 2026 result from the Consortium of National Law Universities (CNLUs) is expected to be released around this time:

December 17, 2025 (before 10:00 AM IST) - Most reports are pointing to this date.

Earlier expectations and media updates also suggested that the final answer key would be published just before the results, and now both the scorecard and the final answer key are likely to be released simultaneously.

If the results don't appear early in the morning, keep refreshing the official portal - sometimes the links go live a little earlier or later than expected.

CLAT Result 2026 Official Website

Once the results are declared, you should check them only on the official portal: https://consortiumofnlus.ac.in - This is the official results page of the Consortium of NLUs.

Do not use any other website to download your official scorecard - fake or mirror sites often appear on Google during result days.

How to Check CLAT 2026 Score & Download Scorecard

Once the results are released, you should follow these simple steps:

1. Go to the official CLAT website: consortiumofnlus.ac.in

2. On the homepage, find the link labeled “CLAT 2026 Results / Scorecard”.

3. Click on it and enter your registered mobile number/email and password.

4. Your CLAT 2026 scorecard (with marks, All India Rank, and Category Rank) will be displayed.

5. Download and save the PDF for counseling and future reference.

Tip: Get at least two printed copies of the scorecard - you will need them during counseling and document verification.

What’s Included in Your CLAT 2026 Scorecard

Once your scorecard is out, you’ll see details such as:

• Your Total Marks
• All India Rank (AIR)
• Category Rank (if applicable)
• Section-wise scores (if published)
• Form and registration details

This scorecard is the official record you’ll use for counselling and NLU admissions.

Final Answer Key Before Results

Before the results are declared, the final answer key for CLAT will be released. This will happen after the objection window for the provisional answer key closes and the necessary corrections are made.

The final answer key helps you confirm your expected score even before the scorecard is published.

Many students use it to estimate their potential rank using tools like CLAT rank predictors.

1. Check the cut-offs and your chances at NLUs

Select your preferred NLUs for counseling - from the safest options to your dream choices.

3. Keep your documents ready

Scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, identity proof, and category certificate (if applicable).

The online counseling schedule will be announced shortly after the results are declared.
