Will CLAT 2021 be held in online or offline mode?

Not much has changed since last year, as social distancing is still the need of the hour to curb the COVID-19 virus. Conducting the law entrance exam in offline mode increases the chances of spreading the virus as almost all the stakeholders including the aspirants, invigilators and other exam centre authorities will be involved in touching the CLAT papers and other important items.

Yes, the application form for CLAT was released long back in August. Those who have not filled the form yet must understand that there is no right day to fill the form. You should fill is as soon as possible. Because if you miss it you have to wait one more year unnecessarily to appear in the exam.

The last date to submit the application form is October 31, 2025. It must be noted that the consortium will open the application correction window after that. Sometimes the consortium do extend the last date for registration but it is better to fill the form way before and why to wait.
