I have not given any competitive exam like CLAT but I want to pursue law. What is the eligibility?

The national-level Common Law Admission Test (or CLAT is conducted by the Consortium of NLUs for admission to 5-year integrated LL.B. (UG) and one-year LL. M. (PG) courses. One of the main reasons for its significance is that CLAT is the only entrance examination accepted by all 22 NLUs. CLAT 2022 will be conducted on June 19 which has been rescheduled from may 8 applications for CLAT 2022 has been closed already so its better to apply for CLAT 2023 which will be held on december 18 2022. My advice to you as a senior law student is that if you're applying for any NLU's CLAT is a must and you're going to have to put some time and effort into it. Even if you're not intending to apply for any NLU's, CLAT scores are accepted by almost all colleges and if you have a good score like somewhere between 90-100, your chances of getting accepted into almost any college in India increases by a lot. However if you're planning on applying abroad I'd say ISAT is a better exam as ISAT is given more value when you look from the point of view of colleges abroad. In the end I'd like to say that, it is actually very important for an applicant to have written at least one competitive exam when it comes to law, 12th grade marks isn't enough and most colleges don't ask for it until the Personal Interview round. Law is a very thrilling profession and you won't regret putting in extra hours preparing for your competitive exam or walking the extra mile for the same. ALL THE BEST.

No worries, these exams are required only if you want to go to the top law colleges of India. Otherwise, check if your desired law course is available at your state university or any college nearby and apply there. Law can be pursued in following two ways: If you've passed your intermediate (from any stream) - Opt for an integrated LLB course (5 years) eg. BA LLB (hon. ), BBA. LLB. (hon. ), B.Com. LL.B. (Hons. ) If you are already a graduate (from any stream) - Go for an LL.B. programme (3yrs). Search for the best law colleges in your city/state and apply there. Most of them will conduct their entrance.
