WHAT IS CLAT?
The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is offered at both the Undergraduate (UG) and Postgraduate (PG) levels. CLAT UG is for students seeking admission to five-year integrated LLB programs, while CLAT PG is for those seeking admission to one-year LLM programs. Both exams are administered by the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) and are used for admission to their law programs.
It serves as the gateway for admissions to undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) law programs at prestigious NLUs and other participating institutions.
