In the revised CLAT results, candidates are likely to see their score go up by up to 4 marks and go down by up to 2.5 marks depending on which answers they marked.

Analysing Shift in CLAT Rank After Gaining 2 Marks

The tables above show that for CLAT rank 100 to 1000 the shift in rank in the revised result is between 100 to 300 ranks indicating a less dramatic change. However, for CLAT ranks 5000 to 20000, the shift in rank due to the revised result is between 1000 to 1800 ranks. This indicates that the margins are very small at lower ranks due to higher competition at that level. Even a small difference of 2 marks can make or break a candidate’s chances of obtaining an NLU seat.

BEST REGARDS


Hello,

While NLUs are costly, you can still pursue government-funded law education through state-funded universities and their affiliated colleges that accept CLAT scores, such as institutes like Banaras Hindu University and Aligarh Muslim University.

I hope it will clear your query!!

It is always better to take the CLAT exam right after Class 12 if your goal is to build a career in law, because CLAT UG is specifically designed for admission into integrated five-year law programs like BA LLB, BCom LLB, or BBA LLB. Appearing after Class 12 saves you time, as you complete both graduation and law together in a single course. On the other hand, if you first complete graduation and then plan for law, you will not be eligible for CLAT UG but instead for CLAT PG, which is meant for admission into LLM programs. This path takes longer, because you first spend three or four years on graduation and then add another three years in an LLB program if you choose not to go for an integrated course. So, if you are already sure about pursuing law as your career, writing CLAT right after Class 12 is the smarter and time-saving option, while writing it after graduation makes sense only if you are considering higher studies in law or a shift in career later.

For CLAT, the most important topics are from  Legal Reasoning, Current Affairs & GK, the Indian Constitution, English Language, Quantitative Techniques and Logical Reasoning. For a brief detail you can go through the following link: https://law.careers360.com/articles/clat-important-topics
