Hello Shabhavi,
If you want to take admission for UG course of law then yes it is true that minimum eligibility criteria for CLAT is 50 percent for general category and 45 for reserved categories but this criteria is for 10+2 examination and not for graduation.
Also there is no age bar for pursuing this course so if you have 50 percent in your H.S.C. then you can go for this examination.
And if you want to go for PG programs in law then you must have your batchlors degree in law with 55 percent in graduation for general category and 50 for reserved categories.
All the Best.
