CLAT 2021 likely to be held as per schedule on June 13; check details

CLAT 2021 is likely to be conducted by the CLAT Consortium as per schedule on June 13. Check complete details below.

As per latest reports coming in, it is expected that the Consortium of NLUs will conduct the CLAT 2021 exam as the prescribed schedule on June 13 from 2:00-4:00 PM. While any official information regarding the same is yet to be released, the Vice Chancellor of NALSAR Hyderabad, who is also the President of Executive Committee of the CLAT Consortium, Faizan Mustafa, has given a statement to a national daily that the Consortium is hoping to conduct the law entrance exam as scheduled on June 13.

As per Mustafa, the government will announce the revised CBSE Class 12 exam dates only after June 1 after a review of the COVID-19 situation. This gives CLAT Consortium the window to go ahead with the present CLAT schedule. He further believes that re-scheduling the CLAT exam date 2021 would increase the challenges as it might clash with Class 12 board exams.

The announcement of vaccination for all aged above 18 years is a ray of hope of the Consortium of NLUs as many of the candidates would fall under that age group. Getting the candidates vaccinated before the CLAT will minimize the risk of the spread of COVID-19.

Regarding conducting the Common Law Admission Test as an online home-proctored test, Mustafa believes that it is not a viable option, as the process does not ensure transparency. However, the Consortium would certainly consider to conduct CLAT a as centre-based online exam.

Any final decision regarding the mode or date for the CLAT 2021 exam will be taken only after assessing the COVID-19 situation in May. Meanwhile, the Consortium has extended the CLAT application form 2021 submission date once again till May 15.
