All you wanted to know about The CLAT

CLAT stands for Common Law Admission Test. It is conducted for admissions into the 11 national law colleges with the exception of National Law School of Delhi. It is the main examination in India for law college admissions. Until 2007, each national law college conducted its own entrance exam. However with the advent of CLAT, things are much simplified and easy. It is conducted by different law colleges on a rotation basis on the order of seniority. CLAT this year will be conducted by NALSAR University of Law, Hyderabad.
