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.

Rest of the CLAT preparation strategy remains more or less the same. Check complete details on how to prepare for CLAT 2021 amid COVID.
