What is NLAT?

NLAT is the National Law Admission Test to be conducted by the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) Bangalore for admissions to BA LLB (Hons.) and LLM courses. The law school will remain a part of CLAT Consortium, however, won't accept CLAT scores for this year.

The exam, NLAT 2020 is being conducted to complete the admission process at NLSIU Bangalore at the earliest.
