Hello,

Students who are giving the CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) in 2025 would typically get into college in the same year.

The process usually involves taking the exam, receiving results, participating in counseling or admissions processes, and then starting classes at the chosen law school. Therefore, students taking CLAT in 2025 would likely start their college education in the academic year starting in 2025 or 2026, depending on the specific timelines and admission procedures of the law schools they apply to.

Hope it helps you!
