For **CLAT (Common Law Admission Test)**, it is **not necessary** to have Mathematics as a subject in Class 12. CLAT is the entrance exam for admission into undergraduate law programs (BA LLB) in National Law Universities (NLUs) across India, and students from any stream (Science, Commerce, Arts) can apply as long as they meet the basic eligibility criteria of having passed Class 12 with a minimum percentage (generally 45% for general category and 40% for reserved categories). However, the **CLAT exam itself** includes a section on elementary mathematics (numerical ability) covering basic arithmetic concepts, but it does not require advanced knowledge of higher-level mathematics.

For **CUET (Common University Entrance Test)**, which is used for admission into various undergraduate programs in Central Universities, including law programs, the requirement for Mathematics depends on the specific course and university. Some universities might require Mathematics for **BBA LLB** or specific law-related programs if they emphasize quantitative skills, but for general **BA LLB** programs, Mathematics is typically not compulsory. Always check the specific eligibility criteria of the universities you are applying to through CUET.

In summary, Mathematics is not generally required for law admissions through CLAT, and whether it’s needed for CUET-based law programs depends on the particular university’s requirements.

hope this helps you!!

Hello Agrim,

No, it is not necessary to have Maths in class 12 to apply for the CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) . CLAT is primarily focused on sections like English, Logical Reasoning, General Knowledge, and Legal Aptitude. While the CLAT exam includes a small section on elementary Mathematics (up to 10th-grade level), having Maths in class 12 is not a requirement for eligibility.

Similarly, for law programs under CUET (Common University Entrance Test) , it is not mandatory to have Maths in class 12. The law courses under CUET focus on other subjects like General Knowledge, English, and Legal Reasoning, but Maths is not a required subject for admission.

So, you can pursue law programs through both CLAT and CUET without having Maths in class 12.

Hy,

1. For CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) : No, it is not mandatory to have mathematics in Class 12 to apply for CLAT. CLAT is the entrance exam for undergraduate law programs (BA LLB, BBA LLB, etc.) in National Law Universities (NLUs) across India. The eligibility criteria for CLAT UG simply require you to have passed Class 12 with at least 45% marks (40% for reserved categories). The test itself includes a section on quantitative techniques, but it covers basic mathematics (up to Class 10 level), so you don't need to have studied math in Class 12.

2. For Law Programs via CUET (Common University Entrance Test) : Similar to CLAT, maths is not mandatory for applying to law programs through CUET. CUET offers access to various central universities and other participating institutions for undergraduate courses, including law. The eligibility typically revolves around having passed Class 12 with a minimum percentage as set by the individual university or program. However, different universities may have slightly varied requirements, so it's advisable to check the specific eligibility criteria of the law program you’re interested in. Most of them, however, do not mandate mathematics as a subject in 12th.

In conclusion, while basic math skills are tested in the CLAT, math is not a required subject in Class 12 for either CLAT or most CUET-based law programs.
