The CLAT 2027 Application Correction Window lets you fix specific errors in your submitted form — photograph, category details, and address can be updated, but fields like your name and program type are permanently locked after submission.
The Consortium of National Law Universities opens a correction window for a short period after the CLAT 2027 application deadline closes. Knowing which fields are editable — and which are locked — helps you act quickly and avoid disqualification due to preventable errors.
- The correction window typically opens 7–10 days after the registration deadline closes.
- You can update photograph, signature, address, category, and educational details.
- Fields like name, program type (UG/PG), and registered email ID are locked after submission.
- A correction fee may apply for certain changes; payment is made online through the official portal.
- No extensions are granted once the correction window closes — act immediately when it opens.

What is the CLAT 2027 Application Correction Window?
The CLAT 2027 Application Correction Window is a short, time-limited period opened by the Consortium of National Law Universities after the registration deadline. Students who have already submitted and paid for their application can log back into the portal to fix specific errors.
The window is not for new registrations — it is strictly for corrections to an already-submitted form. Based on previous CLAT cycles, the window typically stays open for 4–7 days. Once it closes, no changes are accepted through the portal or the helpdesk, so act immediately when it opens.
If you notice an error in a locked field — such as a name mismatch with your Class 10 certificate — email the Consortium helpdesk during the correction window with supporting documents. The Consortium reviews such requests on a case-by-case basis.
What You Can Edit in CLAT 2027 Application Form
The following fields are typically available for correction during the CLAT 2027 correction window, based on trends from previous CLAT cycles:
| Field | Editable | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Photograph | Yes | Must meet portal file size and format specifications |
| Signature | Yes | Scanned image, black or blue ink on white paper |
| Date of Birth | Yes (minor errors) | Upload supporting document such as Class 10 certificate |
| Gender | Yes | Supporting document required |
| Address and Contact Details | Yes | Mobile number update may require OTP verification |
| Category (SC/ST/OBC/PWD) | Yes | Upload valid category certificate |
| State of Eligibility | Yes | Affects domicile-based NLU seat eligibility |
| Educational Qualification Details | Yes | Percentage, board name, year of passing |
| Medium of Examination | Yes (subject to availability) | English or Hindi |
| Exam City Preference | Yes (subject to seat availability) | Depends on Consortium policy for that cycle |
Always verify photograph and signature file specifications before uploading — incorrect file size or format is one of the most common reasons a correction is rejected by the portal.
What You Cannot Edit in CLAT 2027 Application Form
These fields are permanently locked after submission and payment. They cannot be changed through the portal or by contacting the helpdesk:
| Locked Field | Reason |
|---|---|
| Applicant Name | Must match Class 10 certificate exactly; no self-correction allowed |
| Father’s / Mother’s Name | Used for identity verification throughout the admission process |
| Program Type (UG or PG) | BA LLB (UG) and LLM (PG) are entirely separate applications |
| Registered Email ID | Serves as the login credential and cannot be transferred |
| Application Number | System-generated and used across all admission stages |
| Fee Payment Details | Transactions are final and non-refundable |
| Nationality | Set as Indian, NRI, or foreign national at the time of registration |
If your name on the application contains a spelling error that does not match your Class 10 marksheet, email the Consortium helpdesk immediately — during the correction window period only — with a scanned copy of supporting documents. Requests sent after the window closes are not processed.
