    Have a question related to CLAT ?

    Hello Dear Student,

    You should prepare for CLAT if your goal is to get admission into a top National Law University (NLU) for a 5-year integrated law course like BA LLB or BBA LLB.

    You should choose CUET UG if you want admission into:

    • central universities,
    • state universities, or
    • some

    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.”

    Yes, you can switch from one college to another to a CLAT college through the entrance test.  However, it is important to note that you will have to start from year 1 rather than transferring directly into the second or third year. Some of the top CLAT participating colleges here.

    Here you can check out the top NLUs offering admission into 3-year LLB with and without CLAT exam:

    1.  NLSIU Bengaluru for LLB programme through NLSAT.

    2. NLU Odisha and NLU Visakhapatnam offer admission into the 3-year LLB course through their own admission process.

    3. CNLU Patna





    Yes, for CLAT preparation, building a reading habit daily is a good approach. You can read the daily newspapers like The Hindu and The Indian Express. While going for Animal Farm by George Orwell, Word power Made Easy by Norma Lewis for novel comprehension.
