The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2021 will be held on May 9, 2021 from 3 pm to 5 pm in an online mode. The application forms for CLAT 2021 will be released on the official website consortiumofnlus.ac.in on January 1. The last date for application submission is March 31 along with the undergraduate law entrance examination fee. CLAT is considered for 5-year integrated LLB and LLM courses. Since the release of the CLAT 2021 notification, the law aspirants have been making several requests to the examination agency to allow multiple attempts to the paper. Many law aspirants are citing the multiple sessions of JEE Main to begin in February 2021 while requesting for a similar process in the law entrance examination.
A CLAT 2020 aspirant asked for multiple attempts for the law entrance examination as he said, “Sir, as four attempts have been considered for JEE and same is being considered for NEET, students in other streams including Law(CLAT), should be treated at par for four attempts in CLAT exams”.
Another student asked for two attempts at the CLAT 2021 entrance examination as he said, “Is the CLAT entrance examination easy? We need two attempts for this as well”.
CLAT aspirant Aditya Rai asked for a uniform law entrance examination throughout the country as he said, “Sir why doesn't the government pay attention towards law entrance exam? How good would it be if the government conducted such exams with uniform pattern. Why we have to give too many exams for admission in different universities?
