Hello there. Hope you are doing good. I would like to tell you that  most of the colleges requires you to appear for CLAT exam and score good marks. The colleges options you will be having depends on the marks obtained in CLAT exam. Although there are many other colleges/universities that conducts their own entrance exam for admission into law programs such as IPU CET. But is always advisable to appear for CLAT exam since it opens various options of colleges to choose from.

I hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future.
