What if I don't get an NLU through CLAT 2020 - Getting admission in a National Law University (NLU) is a dream for many CLAT 2020 aspirants, but what if someone doesn’t get admission in an NLU through CLAT?. Should we consider it an ultimate failure or just a part and parcel of the game? Summer Redstone rightly said, ‘Success is not built on success, it is built on failure, frustration and sometimes on catastrophe’. Failure in CLAT does not mean one cannot become a successful law professional. Given that the CLAT 2020 exam is a highly competitive and lakhs of students prepare themselves for this, so, it is not possible that everyone makes a way to NLU. Ultimately what matters is that law aspirants become successful in their respective law profile. There are many law colleges that accept CLAT scores for admissions and some also conduct their own entrance exams for LLB and LLM programmes. So, here we will discuss what other options the CLAT 2020 aspirants would have if they don’t get an NLU through CLAT 2020.

It is said, ‘If plan ‘A’ doesn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters, so stay cool’. if you are looking for a law college, there are many entrance exams conducted by law colleges to test your knowledge and hunger, and if you are already preparing for the toughest law exam then there is no harm in looking for other law entrance exams. Some universities are even better than many NLUs in terms of their academic curriculum and other facilities. Symbiosis Law School, Pune is one such example which is ranked as the 7th best law college of India by NIRF 2019 ranking of MHRD. There are many state-level entrance exams and also, many law colleges conduct their own entrance exam separately. One can consider appearing in these exams and get a seat in a law college.

Still, deep down if you are not ready to give up on your dream of an NLU than the good news is that there is no age bar for appearing in CLAT and no restrictions on the number of CLAT attempts. You should start analyzing your points of failure and follow a holistic approach towards the CLAT exam from the point you realize your failure.
We wish you all the best and hope the article was useful to you!
Answer:
CLAT preparation totally depends upon an individual's ability to study and grasp the knowledge. You can choose to join a coaching or can also prepare with self-study. Whichever option you choose, making a CLAT study timetable 2020 is an inevitable part of preparation, once done with it, follow the study plan with utmost dedication.
Ideally if one starts with basics, 10 months are considered enough for CLAT 2020. However, if someone is pre-equipped with basics, 7 - 8 months are more than enough for CLAT 2020.
As of now, there is no exact date released by consortium of law colleges. It will be conducted tentatively in the 4th week of May.
According to NIRF 2019 ranking of MHRD, GOI, Symbiosis Pune is ranked as 7th best law college of India and it will conduct its own entrance exam called SLAT (Symbiosis Law Admission Test).

Hi,
If your query is related with doing 5-year BALLB program being offered at University Law College (ULC) I must say no. Because it has its own admission process. Basically, CLAT is an entrance exam for taking admission in NLUs. Eligibility Criteria for ULC's BALLB can be checked by following the link given: https://eng.bangaloreuniversity.ac.in/university-law-college/
I hope it helps!
Hello Bablu
Every other person has a different brain which works in different frequencies.
What I can study in 10 hours, maybe you can study in 2.
So this is really irrelevant.
But still to answer your question, according to some statistics, a good amount of 4–5 hours a day can help you get into a tier 1 college, but those hours should be with complete dedication and for 5-6 months.
Hello Tanvi
It depends upon the Reservation Category and all. Considering General, you must need a rank of 120-140 for the admission. These were the last year cutoffs.

CLAT is for both Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes. For CLAT PG, you should possess a Bachelor's degree in Law. But because your highest qualification is BA and that is not a law degree, you are not eligible for CLAT PG. But now talking about CLAT UG, you need to have completed your 10+2 with a minimum aggregate of 45%. It is 45% for General Category and 40% for Reserved Categories. As there is no upper age limit for CLAT, you can appear for CLAT UG. Not based on your BA qualification but based on your 12th qualification.
