Though the parliament is still in dilemma over the issue of one- third reservations for women, country's top national level law colleges are all unanimous to introduce 30% reservation for women candidates from the next academic year.

The major judgment taken by the seven premier law colleges in the country comes in the backdrop of their decision to conduct a Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) for admission to their LLB and LLM courses on May 11, 2008. Prior to this, all national law colleges used to conduct their own entrance tests to for short listing aspirants for their respective courses.

It is worth noting here that, though the law colleges have decided 50% marks as the cut off for students to get a seat. Women candidates will not be able to get seats if their qualifying mark is less than 50%, irrespective of their performance in Common Law Admission Test (CLAT).
