AIBE 18 exam date 2023 clashes with CLAT PG 2024; candidates express concern

NEW DELHI: Candidates express concern over exam dates clashes between All India Bar Examination (AIBE 18) and Common Law Admission Test (CLAT PG 2023). Bar Council of India (BCI) and Consortium of National Law Universities (NLU) have scheduled the eligibility test to practice law and LLM admission entrance exam on the same day, December 3.

Every year, most of the students who register for AIBE also apply for CLAT. 1,73,586 candidates registered for AIBE in the last session and 1,71,402 appeared in the exam. Nearly 10,000 students appear for the CLAT LLM exam.

AIBE 18 exam was earlier scheduled on October 29 and then postponed to December 3; the same date as CLAT PG.

AIBE 18 correction window available on the official website, allindiabarexamination.com, will be closed on November 12. The Consortium of NLUs has extended the CLAT PG registration date to November 10.

Twenty-two NLUs will fill around 1,200 seats in LLM programmes through the CLAT score.
