Common Law Admission Test

The Supreme Court will deliver its judgment on the plea challenging NLAT 2020, a separate entrance test for National Law University of India, Bangalore, on Monday.

The Delhi High Court today dismissed a petition seeking directions to conduct the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2020 as a home-based online test in view of the pandemic situation due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Like other exams in the time of Covid-19, the National Law Aptitude Test (NLAT) 2020, meant for admission to National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, has been in the midst of controversy. It was challenged in different courts and criticised over social media.

The National Law School of India University (NLSIU) said yesterday that no member of the university, including the vice-chancellor or any member of the staff, will participate in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2020.

New Delhi: This year’s Common Law Admission Test (CLAT 2020) will be held from September 7. The exams will be centre-based and online and will be for both undergraduate and post graduate students.

The Consortium of National Law Universities in a meeting held on June 29 has decided that Common Law Admission Test (CLAT 2020) shall be conducted through a computer-based, online, centre-based test to be held on Saturday August 22, 2020.
