Hello Sushil,

You will be eligible to take the CLAT examination in December 2027.

Since you will be giving your Class 12 board exams in February 2027, you will not be eligible for the CLAT held in December 2026. CLAT requires candidates to either have passed or be appearing in the Class 12 examination in the same academic year of admission.

Important points:

• CLAT is conducted in December for admission in the next academic year.

• You must have completed or be appearing in Class 12 by the year of admission.

• Since your Class 12 boards are in 2027, your valid CLAT attempt will be in December 2027.

Hello Sushil Kumar,

Since you are in Class 11 currently and will be giving your Class 12 board exams in February 2027, you will also be eligible to give the CLAT in December 2026. The CLAT is conducted in December every year. All students writing their Class 12 exams in the following year (2027, in your case) are allowed to apply if they fulfill eligibility criteria at the time of admission.

So yes, you can absolutely give the CLAT 2026, and if you clear it, you will ultimately be admitted to law school in 2027 after writing your board exams.
