Common Law Admission Test

CLAT is a national-level law entrance exam for students seeking admission to undergraduate law programmes at participating National Law Universities (NLUs) and other participating institutions across India.

Duration 2 hours
Frequency once a year

Overview

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is one of India’s most prominent national-level law entrance examinations for students seeking admission to undergraduate law programmes offered by participating National Law Universities (NLUs). The examination is primarily taken by students who have completed or are completing their Class 12 education and want to pursue an integrated five-year law degree such as BA LLB, BBA LLB, or another participating NLU programme.

CLAT assesses a candidate’s ability to understand and analyse information rather than simply memorise facts. The examination generally focuses on areas such as English language, current affairs and general knowledge, legal reasoning, logical reasoning, and quantitative techniques.

For students targeting top NLUs, CLAT preparation requires a combination of reading skills, current affairs awareness, logical thinking, legal aptitude, and regular mock-test practice. As the examination is highly competitive, starting preparation early can help aspirants develop speed, accuracy, and confidence.

Eligibility Criteria

Check if you meet the requirements

Candidates seeking admission to undergraduate law programmes through CLAT must generally have passed Class 12 or an equivalent examination from a recognised board. Students appearing for their qualifying examination may also be eligible, subject to the conditions specified in the relevant CLAT admission notification.

There is generally no upper age limit for appearing in the undergraduate CLAT examination. However, candidates must satisfy the specific eligibility requirements prescribed for the admission year and the participating university or programme.

Students should always verify the latest official eligibility rules before applying, as admission requirements and examination policies may be revised.
