Because online entrance exams aren't accessible for a huge chunk of the population. Last year, only 5000 plus people had appeared for this online LSAT. As opposed to ten times more the number for CLAT. The disastrous NLAT that Sudhir had tried should also answer your question. In addition, these proctored exams are just a sham, and vulnerable to cheating.
They have held it twice, and not everyone is as rich and dumb as you.
Not the same target. Not everyone has access to the requisite infra to take the exam online. The world will make more sense if you attempted to empathize with those less privileged than yourself.
Irresponsible to hold exams that less than 10% of aspirants can give.
Most people who ace CLAT are dumb rote learning robots mechanically trained for 2 years by the cash their parents injected in expensive coaching centres. They are handed over 12-15 modules which is programmed into them akin to a computer system and are made to do mock tests every week like dog training in military camps. Ain’t no way these kids or their parents or the coaching (call it training) centres will let CLAT resonate anything close to an actual aptitude test. You let things the way they are and prepare for your exam.
Because LSAT is a joke and CLAT is a real life competitive exam with high stakes.

Nobody cares if someone cheats for LSAT. But cheating and malpractices happening in CLAT is a national issue.

LSAT is a useless test - (In India) as it only gives you admission to colleges where any rich kid with a big bank account will make it. Jindal and a few other universities.

Even if you don't have an LSAT test score- if you show that you have Rs. 40 lakhs to spend over 5 years, they will give you admission. Then why take a test??

-'"' ''But with LSAT, JGLS will give a scholarship' '' '' That's some pure nonsense. The scholarship in these private universities (including) JGLS is almost scam - devil is in the details. There is no incentive to cheat in LSAT as it's a joke or a sham exam.

CLAT is a high stakes exam where more than 80K students write it to get into NLU's.

There is incentive to Crack CLAT by cheating. If there is an online test cheating is bound to happen.

Proctored Tests are easy to Crack if you have the resources - many kids with assistannce of thier parents will chear in CLAT if the test is online, because the incentive is too high.

Many private engineering colleges conducted their 'TESTS' online. Did anyone give a flying fcku? NO.

Conduct an online IIT JEE/NEET and the whole country will protest. There will be massive malpractice.

CLAT and JEE can't be compared. But the stakes are high in CLAT.

Even in offline exams, there are cheating cases. If it's made online, it will be a mockery.

NLS and NALSAR will be full of thieves and future fraudsters if CLAT is held online.
CLAT is not even in the list of top 10 most competitive exams in India. The thing is that procedurally they can’t transfer the execution and administration of the exam to LSAC. And if the CLAT committee or an NLU tries to organise it in an online mode, it will be a disaster. Them poor public universities don’t have the resources to organise a proper online exam and it will be a havoc. It’s not about the number of students, there are exams like LSAT international with more test takers than CLAT and they are being held online, efficiently. The keyword is β€œefficient”, because that public universities in India can’t be.
@5: Don't talk nonsense bro. CLAT is very much among the top 10 most competitive exams in India. See graphic below. Also, India Today has ranked CLAT as the fifth toughest exam, after UPSC, CAT, IIT JEE and GATE.
