A plea was filed before the SC seeking either a deferment of CLAT 2021 in view of COVID-19 situation or to have an alternative method for conducting the examination. It challenged the June 14 notification of CLAT 2021 which was related to an advisory to students to get vaccinated before the examination.
While the CLAT 2021 will be conducted as per the given schedule, the provision of vaccination will not be mandatory for candidates appearing in the examination. The consortium has also released the exam day guidelines to be followed by the candidates.
CLAT 2021 will be conducted in offline mode, in more than 80 cities across the country. It is conducted for admission to 5-year LLB and LLM programmes offered by 22 national law universities and several other affiliated law schools in the country.
