CLAT 2023: Notification Expected after July 15, Exam on Dec 18

Students aspiring to join top law colleges and universities may soon have the exam dates for CLAT 2023. After 15 July 2022, the Consortium of National Law Universities will issue the notification for CLAT 2023. The exam notification will be published on the official website of the consortium, consortiumofnlus.ac.in. The CLAT 2023 exam has already been scheduled for 18 December 2022, according to the consortium. They also informed the students that exams this year will be offline. 

The CLAT score is used by more than 20 law universities across the nation for admission of students. It has been estimated that 22 national law schools will use CLAT 2023 results to admit students to 5-year LLB and LLM programmes for the academic year 2023-24. 

The consortium announced the third merit list for the CLAT 2022 on 12 July 2022. If they wish to continue, candidates on the merit list must start the process by accepting and locking their allotment. However, students do have an option to withdraw. Though once withdrawn, candidates can not reapply for the same year and will not be considered for the next round.
