“The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs), which conducts CLAT every year, recently filed an affidavit stating that it is not feasible to hold CLAT 2024 (scheduled on December 3, 2023) in multiple languages, because of the substantive and procedural difficulties involved.
The Consortium said that an appropriate policy decision will be taken to govern future editions of CLAT after comments from experts and thorough consultations.”
Some changes may be witnessed from the 2025 edition or at least some attempts towards those changes
It will be a disaster if the exam is held in regional languages. I don't intend to gatekeep knowledge or education. All I mean is that those who would be giving the exam in regional languages, would not probably be very comfortable with English to begin with. Then they will crack the exam (by merit only, since aptitude to study law is language neutral), get into the law schools, and then suffer from depression on finding that they are unable to cope with the language of instruction. The NLUs will at best pay some lip service by arranging for highly inadequate remedial classes on pen and paper. Those kids would then be judged, ridiculed and jeered at for no fault of their own, and eventually they might even get suicidal.
it would be a good thing to have clat in multiple languages, so that it may one day become a common entrance exam for llb in India
that was the plan by GS when he mooted AIBE in 2009, unfortunately only half the plan was executed and we had to wait for 15 years for the full plan to be firmed up
So the cast is set now.

Just for some money this law school forcing students to take one more test and paying money and wasting one precious day of time.
Wish some one filed PIL like Varun Bhagat to stop this selfish and unnecessary exam of NLU Delhi.
