CLAT is for both Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes. For CLAT PG, you should possess a Bachelor's degree in Law. But because your highest qualification is BA and that is not a law degree, you are not eligible for CLAT PG. But now talking about CLAT UG, you need to have completed your 10+2 with a minimum aggregate of 45%. It is 45% for General Category and 40% for Reserved Categories. As there is no upper age limit for CLAT, you can appear for CLAT UG. Not based on your BA qualification but based on your 12th qualification.

Dear aspirant. Hope you are doing good. I would like to tell you that National Law University is considered to be one of the best university in India to study Law. It is a very challenging job to get a seat there. If you are the lucky one, don't give a second thought. You should aim for top NLU, but still if you get the chance to be in any of the NLU, don't drop it. The placements are top notch of NLU's. It is a brad that every corporate firm looks for since the students who pass from these colleges are highly trained and knowledgable. I hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck.

Good Luck!

Dear Sara, even before things move to admission process, for you to be eligible for CLAT, you should have secured a minimum aggregate of 45%. It is 45% for General and OBC Categories and its 40% for Reserved Categories. And unfortunately, the aggregate cannot be rounded off to the nearest digit. You have to earn it rightfully if we may say so. You have to appear for improvement exams to secure the required aggregate. It is tough to sit for improvement exams just for few decimals but unfortunately that is the only way you can be eligible for CLAT and seek admission even if it is a private institution.
