During CLAT counselling and seat allocation, they must present proof of passing the qualifying examination (mark sheet/certificate/provisional certificate). Regardless of CLAT scores, if a candidate fails to present documents proving his or her qualifications, he or she will be considered ineligible for admission.

Important considerations for CLAT 2023 eligibility requirements

  • Before completing the application, candidates must validate their eligibility.
  • If an applicant fails to meet the CLAT eligibility criteria for 2023, he or she may be disqualified at any point during the application process.
  • The candidate’s information provided on the CLAT 2023 application form will be verified throughout the document verification procedure, which is an important element of the counselling process.
  • Application procedure: Meeting the CLAT exam eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission. CLAT 2023 merit rank will be used to determine admission or seat allocation.
