How to Score 170+ in CLAT Exam

by Richa Jha Asistent Manager

If there is any unpredictable entrance examination in India, then it is CLAT or Common Law Admission Test. Since it is conducted by 18 National Law Universities (NLUs) on a rotational basis, and since there is a lack of CLAT committee to administer the test, therefore there is no standardized mechanism.

Another unpredictability lies with the fact that nobody can be sure about the difficulty of the paper. Thus, one can hardly make any guesses about scores in the test, unlike the mock papers online and practice aptitude tests.
