The entrance to India's National Law Universities for the five-year integrated law degree.

What it gets you

What families get wrong about it

Any Class 12 stream can sit it, so humanities students are not advantaged and science students are not disqualified. Separately, one CLAT form covers the participating NLUs but not NLU Delhi, which admits through AILET and needs a second application.
