Hello there,

No, as a diploma student of civil engineering, you are not eligible to appear for the CLAT exam directly. The eligibility criteria for CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) require candidates to have completed their 10+2 (Class 12) education or an equivalent exam from a recognized board. Since you have completed a diploma, which is generally considered a post-secondary qualification, you must complete your Class 12 education before you can appear for the CLAT exam.

You can consider completing your Class 12 and then apply for CLAT for admission to integrated law programs like BA LLB.
