The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is a national level competitive entrance test for admission to undergraduate and post graduate law programs at the 22 National Law Universities across the country. The test is conducted annually on a rotational basis by the NLUs in different session. Given the fact that CLAT is one of the most difficult undergraduate law entrance exams in India, the marking scheme and mark distribution system have been specially designed to test the knowledge and ability of the students at the highest level.
The CLAT is the exam which measures the student's proficiency in several topics including the English language, general awareness, legal aptitude, analytical reasoning and quantitative techniques. Being an offline exam mode contributes to the reduction of the test platform costs. To finish, I need to fill out 200 multiple choice questions in only 2 hours. Correct answer wins 1 mark compared to loss of 0.25 marks for the wrong answer chosen.
For the oncoming CLAT 2024, the particular dates are in May 2024. An explicit message regarding the examination in December 2023 will be disseminated via the conducting NLU. No less than sixty thousand students sit for CLAT each year for admittance to only three thousand spots. The predictions of CLAT 2023 are expected to be brought in June 2023. The CLAT is an acclaimed exam that requires exceptional aptitude and thoroughness of the students to secure a spot in top NLS. Always study, meditate and practice as the vast amount of mock tests to gain the highest marks will be the solution.
