CLAT 2020 is on 22nd August. do I have to fill the application form of private University now or after the declaration of result of CLAT 2020 marks and ranks ?

Rishika Mahajan 1st Aug, 2020

Dear Aspirants,

The best decision will be fill up your application forms of private universities before Clat.

If you wait for clat result then there will be less colleges left out. So, fill your Application form before Clat results.

If u get results of either clat or other private colleges, you will so many choices in your hand and you can walk forward in your life.

Thank you,

i am an 3rd year student of BA who want to enter this university to pursue PG diploma in public health care and medical law......should i write CLAT for this???

Aditi amrendra Student Expert 30th Jul, 2020

Hello,

Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is a centralised national level governmental entrance test for admissions to twenty two National Law Universities (NLU) in India. Most private and self-financed law schools in India also use these scores for law admissions.
The eligibility for doing PG Diploma in public health is that a candidate should have M.B.B.S. or BDS or B.Sc. degree in the field of health sciences, nursing or natural sciences or holding a BA degree in social science or any other equivalent examination with a minimum aggregate of 50% marks.
For pursuing medical law you don't have to appear in CLAT, you can get direct admission in some law colleges.

I hope this helps.
