Hello Aspirant,

Hello Sushil,
You will be eligible to take the CLAT examination in December 2027.
Since you will be giving your Class 12 board exams in February 2027, you will not be eligible for the CLAT held in December 2026. CLAT requires candidates to either have passed or be appearing in the Class 12 examination in the same academic year of admission.
Important points:
CLAT is conducted in December for admission in the next academic year.
You must have completed or be appearing in Class 12 by the year of admission.
Since your Class 12 boards are in 2027, your valid CLAT attempt will be in December 2027.
You should prepare accordingly for the CLAT 2027 attempt.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
Hii,
No, you cannot use CLAT to gain admission to Banaras Hindu University (BHU) for a B.A.LL.B. For admission to the B.A.LL.B program, BHU administers its own entrance exam, known as CUET UG (Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate).
Therefore, you must take CUET UG rather than CLAT if you wish to enroll in BHU's B.A.LL.B program. National Law Universities (NLUs), not BHU, use CLAT for admission.
you have a good chance to get admission into some of the better Tier 3 NLUs. These offer academic programs and opportunities to explore various fields of law, including corporate law, constitutional law, and international law. Some of the Tier 3 NLUs have growing reputations and offer a balanced mix of academics and practical exposure, which can help you build a solid foundation for your legal career. Choosing the right college will also depend on your preferences for location, campus facilities, and specializations, so researching these factors alongside your rank will help you make a well-informed decision
Hello there,
