Why CLAT is a Career Game-Changer
The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is India’s most prestigious law entrance exam, conducted annually by the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs). This exam opens doors to 24 top National Law Universities, including renowned institutes like NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, NUJS Kolkata, and NLU Delhi (via AILET). It also offers opportunities at leading private law schools across India.
CLAT grants access to five-year integrated LL.B. programs and one-year LL.M. postgraduate courses. But beyond the exam, CLAT is the starting point for a meaningful career in legal professions such as corporate law firms, judiciary, litigation, legal consulting, policy think tanks, NGOs, and international organizations.
Choosing to prepare for CLAT means committing to a future as a lawyer, judge, solicitor, or corporate counsel—undoubtedly a game-changing decision for your career.
