Hello !

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is a national level entrance exam for admissions to candidates in undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) law courses offered at NLUs and other colleges/ universities accepting exam scores.

According to the CLAT exam Eligibility  ;

Candidates should have passed (10+2) exam or its equivalent examination with morr than 50% marks in aggregate (45% in case of SC/ST/OBC and persons with Disability).

So you can't give the CLAT exam this year . You will be Eligible for it after you pass 12 boards .

Best of Luck!

No Praval, you cannot apply for CLAT exam this year as you will not have completed your 12th board exams in 2020.

According to the notification you need to have passed your Senior Secondary School Exam/ 12th Board Examination for applying. But by the time the CLAT results will be out and admission starts, you will be in class 12th and would not have completed your 12th boards.

So you need to wait for another year and give CLAT exam in 2021. Also, please note that you must have a minimum of 45% marks in your board exams for being eligible for the course. SC and ST candidate need 40% marks.
