I am a 30 year old sports professional from Mumbai. I want to pursue law degree as it will help me in my career. Do I need to take CLAT?

According to the Supreme Court's order of March 2017, any law aspirant can fill the application form for CLAT irrespective of their age. Hence, there is no age bar for CLAT application form hereon. However, CLAT is not a compulsory exam to do law. Only students who wish to pursue law from National Law Universities (and Universities that take law into consideration for admission) should sit for CLAT. Reputation of NLUs is par excellence and for all the right reasons. The curriculum is exhaustive and the placement scenario is much better than most other law college. However, if NLU is not the only option for you, you should also sit for other law exams, like DU LLB entrance exam, other private universities to ensure that in case you do not manage to secure a seat in any NLU, at least other options are open for you.
