CLAT actually is a common entrance test for law aspirants for admission in various courses offered by National Law Universities across the country as well as other prestigious institutions which take admission in UG/PG law courses like BA.LLB, BBA.LLB, LLB, LLM etc.
NLUs take admission on the basis of CLAT score only while other private institutions like Symbiosis, Indraprastha University, New Law College, Bharati Vidyapeeth Deemed University etc. have their own entrance tests but they do take admission on the basis of CLAT scores as well.
