CLAT

Admission to the IIULER BA LLB (Hons.) programme is now strictly and only integrated with the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) framework. As a member of the Consortium of NLUs, IIULER no longer conducts an independent entrance test for this program. Prospective students must register for CLAT during the late-year application window and designate IIULER as a preferred institution.  

No. Since IIULER has officially joined the Consortium of NLUs, it no longer conducts a separate entrance test for admission to IIULER BA LLB (Hons.) course. Admission is strictly based on the CLAT (UG) merit list. If you miss the CLAT window, you generally cannot apply for that academic year.

Your CLAT rank acts as a direct "discount key" for your entire five-year journey at IIULER. If you work hard and rank in the top 5,000, your total expenditure drops significantly to INR 29,88,610. Even if your rank is between 10,001 and 15,000, you still benefit from a reduced total cost of INR 32,31,750. To be precise, higher your rank, lower the fees.

Absolutely! IIULER offers scholarships based on the merit of the exam you took. If you sit for the IIULET (the university's own entrance test) and score 95% or above, you can get a 60% discount on your tuition fees. At a score between 85-94%, you will get a 50% discount. This provides a fantastic "second chance" to secure a scholarship based on your performance in the university's specific selection process rather than just the national CLAT.

As of 2026, 26 National Law Universities (NLUs) participate in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). These universities offer undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) law programs, with over 5,600 seats available in total. NLU Delhi is the only exception, conducting its own entrance exam (AILET) rather than participating in CLAT

The duration of the CLAT mock test is 2 hours (120 minutes), perfectly simulating the actual CLAT 2026 exam pattern. It consists of 120 multiple-choice questions. The test auto-submits after 120 minutes, requiring candidates to manage their time across five sections.

Yes, it is tough for an average student. However, with good strategy and study plan cracking CLAT exam is not tough. 

Yes, CLAT is considered one of the most difficult law entrance exams. Candidates must note that the CLAT Exam is conducted for admission to NLUs across the country except NLU Delhi. Hence, the level of difficulty of CLAT Exam is tough. 

A good score in CLAT 2026 can positively impact your BA LLB admission at Chandigarh University by demonstrating merit and competitive capability.
