Before you apply
- Unlike most Consortium members, NLU Meghalaya runs its own counselling after CLAT results. You may need to register on the university’s portal separately.
- Older articles mention a separate NLU Meg entrance test. Use the CLAT 2027 brochure and the university’s own notices instead.
Intake, fees, reservation and domicile rules change every year. Confirm them in the university’s CLAT 2027 brochure and on the Consortium of NLUs website before you fill your preferences. Your allotment depends on your CLAT rank, so keep practising with our mock tests and previous papers.
