Hi Bablu,
The Common Law Admission Test is an entrance examination for the various courses in the Law field. The questions for this examination will be asked in English. Unfortunately, there is no option for answering the examination in any other language than English, including Hindi.
yes. there are changes in pattern of CLAT from the next exam like reduction in he number of questions and more comprehensive questions. and Removal of legal aptitude section has not been confirmed yet.
I do not think these changes neccessarily prove beneficial to students who are better in English. you still have enough time to prepare and you definitely can crack NLSIU with the right preparation.
heres something to help you:
