CLAT

Hi,
Yes, you can take admission in 3 years LL.B. Course without having to appear for entrance exam. There are colleges who offer admission on the merit basis. LL.B. Is a 3 years long course which has started to be replaced by B.A. LL.B. Course which is 5 years long. Most colleges these days are preferring to offer B.A. LL.B. Course to the candidates which can be taken after completing 12th standard. It is mandatory to appear for entrance exam for B.A. LL.B. Course. The name of entrance exam is CLAT. There is however no such requirement for LL.B. Course. You can seek direct admission based on the merit. You will have to appear for an interview after which you will be given admission for LL.B. Course. Although not every college follow this procedure and a large number of them prefer to select candidates through entrance exam. The criteria for entrance exam is:
