CLAT overview

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities for the five-year integrated LL.B. (UG) and one-year LL.M. (PG) programmes at the participating NLUs, including NLSIU Bengaluru. Many other law schools and public-sector employers also use CLAT scores.

  • UG: Class 12 or equivalent with 45% marks (40% for SC/ST); candidates appearing in Class 12 may apply.
  • PG: LL.B. degree with 50% marks (45% for SC/ST).
  • No upper age limit.

CLAT exam pattern

CLAT UG: 120 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours, comprehension-based, across five sections — English Language; Current Affairs including General Knowledge; Legal Reasoning; Logical Reasoning; Quantitative Techniques. +1 for a correct answer, −0.25 for a wrong one.

Pattern and rules summarised from the official information bulletin. Always confirm the current year’s details on the official website before applying.
