CLAT 2019
The Consortium of National Law Universities (NALSAR) has decided to conduct the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) offline from 2019.
"From 2019, students will again have to appear in pen-paper mode,” read the official release.
The decision was taken in view of the technical glitches experienced in the past few years.
The students complained of technical glitches like frequent login failures, questions not visible in full or in part, disappearance of registered answers, power failures and outages duringt the online exam.
The bench directed National University of Advance Legal Studies (NUALS), Kochi, and the core committee of CLAT-2018 to revise the scores of 4,690 candidates by June 15 after applying the normalisation formula suggested by the grievance redressal committee.
In 2018, a total of 54,464 candidates appeared for the exam at 250 centres. Out of them, 4,690 candidates had raised grievances before the GRC.
During the 4th meeting of National Law Universities headed by professor Faizan Mustafa, the consortium has also decided to include some subjective portion in the CLAT 2019 LLM exam.
When is CLAT 2019?
The CLAT will be conducted on May 12, 2019 by National Law University, Odisha. The exam was held for the first time in 2008.
