Law Entrance Exam

No,  CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) is not required to secure a job in Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) unless the specific PSU job you're interested in requires a law degree (such as legal positions or management roles where legal knowledge is important).For general PSU jobs  (engineering, finance, HR, etc.), CLAT is not required.For legal positions in PSUs, a law degree is necessary, but you will need to check the specific PSU's recruitment process to see if they require CLAT or conduct their own exams for legal roles.If you're aiming for a legal position in a PSU, a law degree (and potentially CLAT for LLM) might be useful. However, for most other jobs in PSUs, you will need to look into specific recruitment exams like GATE or the PSU's own hiring procedures, and CLAT will not be relevant.

Banaras Hindu University, popularly known as BHU, does not honor CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) scores for admission into its undergraduate law programs, for instance, BA LLB. Admissions into these programs are achieved through an individual entrance test conducted by BHU called the BHU UET (Undergraduate Entrance Test).Yet some law schools in India do accept scores of CLAT, for instance, the NLUs (National Law Universities), which admit students through CLAT. An applicant has to take the BHU UET entry process for getting admission into law programs of BHU.In regard to your qualification, if you fall under the eligibility for appearing in BHU UET (based on the marks obtained in class 12th), then you can apply for the law programme once the admission application window opens. In general, the eligibility criteria for BHU UET usually include:A minimum of 50% marks in class 12th. To be underage for law programs like BA LLB, candidates need to be under 22 years of age as on 1st July of the academic year; class 12th (65%) and class 10th (73%) should basically be the minimum eligibility you would be able to apply, but always check the official BHU UET notification for the specific year's eligibility criteria. For your drop year, as long as you satisfy the academic qualification, writing the CLAT will still be advantageous because it will also allow you to apply to other NLUs. This time though, you will want to focus your efforts on the BHU UET entrance exam for getting admission into BHU.
