According to the notification, CLAT 2026 will take place on Sunday, December 7, 2025, and will be conducted in a pen-and-paper (offline) format. The application window is set to open on August 1, 2025, and will remain active until October 31, 2025, allowing aspiring candidates a three-month period to complete their registration. 'The Executive Committee and the Governing Body of the Consortium of National Law Universities (the 'Consortium') at their Meetings held on July 20th, 2025 decided that the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026 shall be conducted on Sunday, December 7th 2025, from 2 PM-4 PM,' read the notice published on the consortium website. The official notification for CLAT 2026, which will include comprehensive details such as the syllabus, exam pattern, marking scheme, application fee, eligibility criteria, and other key information, is expected to be published soon on the CLAT website. According to the eligibility norms, candidates who have completed Class 12 with a minimum of 45 per cent marks (40 per cent for reserved categories) can apply for the CLAT UG exam. For CLAT PG, applicants must hold an LLB degree with at least 45 per cent marks, while candidates from SC, ST, and PwD categories require a minimum of 40 per cent. In the previous year, the application fee was Rs 4,000 for candidates from the General and OBC categories, and Rs 3,500 for those belonging to SC, ST, and BPL categories. Last year CLAT 2025 exam was mired with controversies. Over five months after the exam was held following a bunch of court cases, Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) results for undergraduate courses were revised and declared on Saturday (May 17). This year, CLAT, which was held on December 1, 2024, faced court cases over a few questions asked in the exam and the correct answers to them. The matter has drawn attention to the framing of questions and the conduct of the exam, with the Supreme Court expressing 'deep anguish' in a judgement earlier this month 'regarding the callous and casual manner in which' the Consortium of NLUs has been framing questions for CLAT, 'an examination on the basis of which meritorious candidates get entry into the prestigious National Law Universities across the country.'

Can fee of needy aspiring lawyers writing all India bar exam waived? SC asks BCI
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New Delhi, Jul 18 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Bar Council of India about the presence of a scheme to waive off fee of poor LLB graduates who write the All India Bar Examination (AIBE) to enrol as lawyers. The top court was also critical of 'phenomenally high fees" levied by the National Law Universities (NLUs) for their LLB courses and said the education system needed strengthening. A bench comprising Justices P S Narasimha and Atul S Chandurkar was hearing a plea filed by Kuldeep Mishra challenging the fees levied by the Bar Council of India (BCI) for taking up AIBE for enrolling law graduates as lawyers. The AIBE application fee is Rs 3,500 for general and OBC candidates and Rs 2,500 for the scheduled caste and tribe candidates. The fees are non-refundable and must be paid online. 'You cannot have a system which does not have any provision for the poor candidates," the bench told the BCI counsel. It added, 'You must have a provision to exempt fees to the needy people and this process should not be complicated." The BCI was later asked to come prepared on the aspect after two weeks. Referring to the fees levied by NLUs, the bench said, 'The fees of NLUs have gone phenomenally high." 'We need to strengthen our education system. People take loans for taking up LL.B courses and the fees are on the higher side," Justice Narasimha said. The fee charged by NLUs for five-year LLB courses usually ranges from Rs 1.7 lakhs to Rs 4 lakhs per annum. Top NLUs like NLSIU Bangalore and NLU Delhi have higher fees compared to newer ones.
