CLAT 2027 Exam Centres: What’s New This Year?
The key update in the CLAT 2027 exam centre list is that Vellore and Tiruvarur have been removed from the list of test cities in Tamil Nadu. Candidates who have already selected either city must log in to their CLAT account and replace the earlier preference with another available city.
This change matters because the city selected in the application does not determine the final venue. The admit card provides the exact CLAT exam centre address and reporting information.

How to Change CLAT 2027 Exam Centre Preference?
Candidates can update their exam centre preference online. Refer to these steps to complete the process smoothly:
- Log in to the CLAT account using the registered credentials.
- Select the ‘Edit Application Form’ option.
- Open the ‘Test Centre Preference’ section.
- Choose an alternative test centre city from the available options.
- Hit the ‘Save/Submit’ button to save the changes.
How Are CLAT Exam Centres Allotted?
Candidates first provide their preferred test centre city while filling out the CLAT application form. Candidates select their preferred Test Centre City during registration. The Consortium allocates the examination centre subject to availability and operational requirements. In certain circumstances, a city or centre may be cancelled, and candidates may be shifted to another location.
The selected city should therefore be considered as a preference rather than a guarantee of a particular examination building. The final centre address, reporting instructions and other venue-related details are provided through the CLAT admit card.
Candidates should avoid waiting until the last moment to check their allocation, particularly if they need to make travel arrangements.

Can You Update Your CLAT Exam Centre After Form Submission?
You generally cannot change your CLAT test centre preference at will. Changes are permitted during the official application correction window or when the Consortium specifically allows candidates to revise test centre cities.
For CLAT 2027, candidates who had selected Vellore or Tiruvarur have been asked by the Consortium to update their exam city preference. Candidates should therefore refer to official correction or revision notices.
In the previous admission cycle, candidates also had a limited opportunity to edit selected application details, including test location preferences and certain personal and eligibility information, after submitting their application.
What to Check After the CLAT 2027 Admit Card Is Released?
The CLAT admit card contains important candidate, examination and test-centre details. It comprises the following details:
- Candidate name
- Roll Number
- Exam date and timing
- Test centre name
- Exam centre address
- Reporting time
- Photograph
- Signature
- Instructions mentioned on the admit card
Candidates should verify the centre address in advance and plan their route accordingly. If the venue is in another city, candidates should also arrange travel and accommodation before the exam day.
