    I have scored 72% in 12th boards but have rt in my additional subject. I'm aiming for Clat 2027. so is it necessary for me to give that exam or I can skip it?

    Hi,
    Yes, you should appear for the compartment/improvement exam in the subject where you got RT (Reappear in Theory).

    Even though your 72% overall marks are enough for Common Law Admission Test 2027 eligibility, clearing the RT is still very important because your Class 12 marksheet should officially show “PASS.”
