As of now, the CLAT PG (Common Law Admission Test for Postgraduate courses) is conducted once a year by the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs). There are no official announcements indicating that the exam will be held twice a year in the foreseeable future. Therefore, candidates should plan their preparation accordingly, keeping in mind the annual schedule. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's advisable to regularly check the official CLAT Consortium website: consortiumofnlus.ac.in.

Once the BMSIT seat allocation process is done, selected candidates must present original and self-attested photocopies of documents for verification purposes at the university. Such candidates are required to bring along the following documents:

• Class 10 marksheet
• Class 12 marksheet
• Migration certificate
• School leaving certificate/transfer certificate
• UG degree
• UG marksheets
• Category certificate (if applicable)
• Income certificate (applicable for candidates seeking admission via EWS category)

On average, approximately 15,000 candidates register for the CLAT PG (Common Law Admission Test for Postgraduate courses) each year. For instance, in the CLAT 2025 exam, 10,948 candidates registered, with 10,282 appearing for the test. 
 The number of applicants has been increasing, with around 15,000 candidates expected to appear for CLAT PG 2026. 
 This growing interest underscores the competitive nature of the exam and the importance of thorough preparation.

The CLAT PG marking scheme follows a structured pattern:

Total Marks: 120
Number of Questions: 120 (All are multiple-choice questions)
Correct Answer: +1 mark
Incorrect Answer: -0.25 (Negative marking)
Unanswered Questions: No marks deducted
Total Duration: 2 hours
The exam evaluates legal reasoning, comprehension, and application skills through passage-based questions. Since negative marking applies, candidates must carefully attempt questions to maximize accuracy. Practicing mock tests and previous year papers helps improve scoring efficiency. 

The new CLAT PG exam pattern consists of 120 multiple-choice questions (MCQs), totaling 120 marks, with a 2-hour duration. Each correct answer carries 1 mark, while 0.25 marks are deducted for every wrong answer. The exam is passage-based, focusing on legal reasoning, comprehension, and application rather than rote memorization. The syllabus includes Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, Criminal Law, Contracts, Torts, International Law, and more. Candidates must analyze legal texts, case laws, and recent judgments. Regular mock tests, previous papers, and legal updates are key for success.
