Over 75,000 students compete for just 3,600 seats in National Law Universities each year. The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is very tough because of its unique structure and high competition.
Why CLAT is so challenging
CLAT covers many subjects like English, Current Affairs, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Maths. Students must think critically and understand questions well. They have to use legal ideas they dont know before. There is negative marking, so mistakes are costly. The competition is very high, with about 20 students fighting for each seat. This makes it harder than getting into IIT.
New career options in law
Law jobs are not just in courts now. Lawyers work in companies, tech firms, and government offices too. They help with business advice, data privacy, cyber security, and settling fights between companies. More women are becoming judges and top lawyers. Justice B.V. Nagarathna will be Indias first female Chief Justice in 2027. New areas like space law and environmental law are growing fast. With more than 75,000 aspirants competing for just 3,600 undergraduate seats in National Law Universities (NLUs) each year, cracking India’s top law exams is no small feat. Yet, law is increasingly attracting students from tier-II and tier-III cities, women, and tech-savvy aspirants, thanks to expanding career opportunities beyond traditional courtrooms.
