What is the age cut off & whether one needs to clear Clat for admission

No, CLAT exam is not mandatory for taking admission in BA LLB at Chandigarh University. For taking admission in university, you need to pass the Chandigarh University Common Entrance Test (CUCET). This test is mandatory for your admission. If you score well in CUCET then you can get a scholarship that reduces your fees a lot. When students pass CUCET, they can get a scholarship but to keep it the scholarship maintained students need to meet certain rules. The most important thing is the CGPA. At the end of every year, students must have a minimum CGPA of 7.5 to renew the scholarship. This pushes students to do well in studies and keep their focus.

Experienced advocates and faculty provide guidance and mentorship throughout the course. This mix of classroom learning and hands-on practice ensures students are ready to start their careers confidently in litigation, corporate law, or judicial services after graduation.
