Hello Barkha

As admission is done through CLAT in IPU instead of their own Entrance which was previously IPU CET. You still need to fill up the the form for IPU separately as CLAT scores will be considered only for the admissions.

You can just go through their official website to fill up the form.

Hi there,

CLAT is necessary to take admission in Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) and the university provides for reservation to J&K Migrants, but you will have to give CLAT in order to get admission in GNLU, however, it is not compulsory to give CLAT if you want to take admission in any other university in Gujarat. You have not provided the specific university/college in which you want to apply, i would suggest you check the website of the university you wish to apply and check the entrance criteria of that university. For your reference i have provided a list of Gujarat based universities who offer BA.LBB as a course, https://law.careers360.com/colleges/list-of-government-law-colleges-in-gujarat
