If you’re a student who wants to pursue a career in law, you’ll need to take a law entrance exam to get into the right program.
Law entrance exams are highly competitive, so it’s important to have a good understanding of the different exams available to you.

CLAT UG

CLAT UG is one of India’s most acclaimed law entrance examinations for admission to the five-year UG course at various National Law Universities. 
The CLAT UG exam is held every year to admit eligible candidates to the Integrated LLB program offered by the 22 participating NLUs, and only the top 5% of the total candidates are selected for various national law schools, so a student must have the correct strategy toward the exam and its preparation in order to be on this list. As a result, it is vital to plan for the test strategically.
CLAT UG 2024 is most likely to be conducted in December 2023. Prof. (Dr.) Shanthakumar, Director, of Gujarat National Law University, Gandhinagar has been elected as the Convenor of the CLAT Consortium for CLAT 2024.
