The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) for the year 2020 will be held on May 10th, Sunday according to the Consortium of National Law Universities. The CLAT 2019 was conducted on May 26, 2019, by NLU, Odisha.

A lot of changes have been made with respect to CLAT this time. The exam is being conducted offline this time, which means that the students will be marking their answers on an OMR sheet. Furthermore, a rise in the difficulty level of the exam is anticipated this time. With the coming in of a permanent website of CLAT, it is expected that the CLAT exam will be much more organized and well-conducted from this year onwards.
