CLAT About

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is a nationwide law entrance examination organized by the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs). It serves as a gateway for admission to 5-year integrated LLB (undergraduate) and one-year LLM (postgraduate) programs. CLAT provides entry to 24 NLUs for undergraduate courses and 21 NLUs for postgraduate courses. The exam is administered in an offline, pen-and-paper format. For the 2025 UG exam, the sections will include English, Current Affairs and General Knowledge, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Techniques. The PG exam will focus on Constitutional Law and other legal subjects like Jurisprudence, Torts, IPC, CrPC, CPC, Family Law, and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).

Admissions to NLUs are granted based on CLAT scores. In addition to the NLUs:

• CLAT exam scores are accepted by 61 private affiliate colleges in India.
• Certain public organizations, like ONGC and BHEL, use CLAT-PG scores for recruitment purposes.
