All about CLAT and DU entrance examinations

A career in law is not for everyone. The world of truth, law and justice demands much more than what meets the eye. There is the emergence of many national law schools and there is a prestigious university called Delhi University. With more and more people opting for this career option, the importance of entrance examinations have just sky rocketed. There is CLAT and the Delhi University law Entrance Exam. There are several coaching centers that provide CLAT Study materials. There are several websites that conduct mock test for CLAT.
The advent of law entrance examinations.
It should be known to you that before the Common Law Admission Test or CLAT there was no universal test for law schools. This in turn had caused much disruption. The disruptions were in the form of bad timing and stress for the applicable students. Overall the process was difficult to properly prepare. The present scenario has witnessed 17 NLUs in India. Out which 16 of them use the CLAT test for admission. The National Law University in Delhi is the only exception here that uses an independent test. But ultimately it takes the test in a similar format.
This should also be notifies that only Indian residents are eligible for the test. The most important document needed for this is a Senior Secondary School/Intermediate (10+2), or equivalent, with less than 45% marks in aggregate. An individual has to be a maximum of 20 years in order to be eligible for the test. The test can be retaken up to that age. Around 2164 seats are available to the NLUs. Many other law schools accept the results of the test. Even if you do not qualify, do not lose heart as it can open up doors in many other areas. You will get a vast knowledge of several vital topics.
The different sections in a law entrance examination question paper.
There are typically 5 sections in the question paper. This pattern mostly remains the same with little alterations here and there. The sections are: English, general knowledge/current affairs, elementary mathematics, legal GK and logical reasoning.
