What is CLAT Exam 2027?

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is a centralised national-level entrance test for admissions to 25 National Law Universities (NLUs) in India. Some private universities and self-financed law schools in India also use these scores for admissions. The CLAT 2027 exam is conducted for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) law programs.

The undergraduate program assesses you on subjects like English, General Knowledge and Current Affairs, Quantitative Techniques, Legal Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning. The aim is to evaluate the aptitude and suitability of the candidates for legal education.

For the postgraduate program, the test evaluates candidates on various law subjects, such as Constitutional Law and jurisprudence, and other law subjects, such as Contract, Torts, Criminal Law, International Law, IPR, and Environmental Law.
