Common Law Admission Test (CLAT)

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) would be conducted for the first time in May, 2008 and would be held every year on behalf of any of the participating institutes. The NLSIU, Bangalore, the oldest of the National Law Schools will set the process in motion by undertaking to conduct the admission test for the academic year 2008-09.

The CLAT is expected to provide the students the ease of filling up a single application form to get admission to any of the participating institutes. It is further expected that other National Law Schools (i.e., the Law Schools established by State enactments) would join these seven Law Schools in due course. Meanwhile, the results of admission test would be made available to them on request.
