CLAT -2026

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026 is a national-level entrance exam conducted for admission to undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) law programs offered by 24 National Law Universities (NLUs) and other participating institutions across India. Organized by the Consortium of NLUs, CLAT is one of the most competitive exams for law aspirants.

The UG-CLAT assesses candidates on five key areas: English Language, Current Affairs (including General Knowledge), Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Techniques. 

The PG-CLAT focuses on subjects such as Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, and other core areas of law. The exam is conducted in offline, pen-and-paper mode.

CLAT eligibility for UG requires candidates to have passed Class 12 or equivalent with at least 45% marks (40% for SC/ST candidates). For PG, candidates must hold an LL.B. degree with the required percentage. There is no upper age limit for appearing in the exam.

Aspirants must register online through the official CLAT Consortium website, fill out the application form, upload documents, and pay the required fee. Based on performance in the exam, candidates are allotted seats through a centralized counseling process.

CLAT 2026 will serve as the gateway to prestigious NLUs and offers opportunities in litigation, corporate law firms, judiciary, public policy, and more. Proper preparation, time management, and practice with mock tests are crucial for success.
