Hi,
CLAT is an entrance exam meant for admission in 5 year law course in national law schools. In case, you do not want to apply for this exam, you are ineligible for national law schools. There are many universities other than law schools and each university follows different procedure which is available on their respective web sites. -

7 years agoOf your priorities are other colleges other than NLU'S and colleges who take admission based on CLAT score then you can definitely get admissions into those colleges. Other than that, sitting for CLAT is not a bad option. I do recommend that you sit for CLAT if your priority is to get into top law colleges in India. -
