The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2018 results scheduled for 31 May are on time but its convenor Nuals Kochi’s grievance redressal committee is behind schedule and tried bargaining before the Supreme Court today for lessening its load of candidate grievances against the conduct of the exam.
The Supreme Court has given the committee time until 6 June to individually look into the, now almost, 6,000 representations from CLAT 2018 candidates complaining of glitches and errors in the exam. The number has risen from the earlier 251 total representations that Nuals had received until 23 May.
The committee has so far examined 160 representations, it submitted to the court in a sealed cover report today.
The deadline provided by CLAT 2018 to submit grievances against the exam to the convenor was until 15 May but the Supreme Court had extended this deadline to 7pm on 27 May.
Senior advocate V Giri requested the court to re-consider the deadline extension given to the candidates, and only have the committee look into the 251 representations submitted earlier. He also said that the representations not yet examined were mostly repetitive.
The court was hearing two writs against the CLAT 2018, clubbed together today. While until the last date there was only one challenge with six petitioners before it, advocate on record Zoheb Hossain acted today on another writ brought by 29 CLAT candidates from various exam centres in six states, asking for a re-conduct of CLAT 2018.
Hossain argued in court that looking into grievances of individual candidates will not help as the entire exam this year and its process has been tainted, resulting in unidentified beneficiaries of a corrupt process.
Hossain commented to us: “I am relying on [Tanvi Sarwal v. CBSE and Ors., [2015] 6 SCC 573, wherein the results of the All India Pre-Medical and Pre-Dental Entrance Test, 2015] were irreversibly cancelled because the paper was leaked etc, but the court said that it is not just those 144 candidates (who complained, who are affected).”
“My whole point is that there were centres where invigilators were not present, mass cheating was happening. centres where CCTV cameras were wrapped in some wire and kept or were facing the wall and the general instructions of CLAT say you have to have CCTV. I was saying you don’t have to believe me let the committeee examine the CCTV footage. These are not isolated incidents. Candidates from disparate places who do not know each other are corroborating the stories without knowing each other,” he added.
Next hearing in the case is on 6 June.

Let the results be out and merit list declared, then it will be too late, LOL.
This should be your report: indianexpress.com/article/education/declare-clat-2018-results-tomorrow-supreme-court-to-nuals/
I was panicking because this scene was drastically different from when I answered CLAT in 2017. It was soon 3 and still we hadn't started. The exam eventually began at 3:15 following a demo exam.Luckily I didn't face any major difficulty while answering it, the next button didn't work, although t didn't pose much of an issue, the system hanged for a few seconds before displaying the questions. The invigilators refused to sign the admit cards even after I pointed it out, they said that the stamp was enough.
The small problems I faced weren't a necessary hindrance to my performance but I can imagine the amount of stress and pressure a student might have been subjected to had the PC stopped working for even a few minutes mid exam. It doesn't matter if he or she was given extra time, the state of panic is enough to mar the performance. It isn't even a question of those who cheated, lack of infrastructure, etc etc. Why would a student suffer for the negligence of CLAT Committee? It doesn't matter what he would scored had he not been affected by external circumstances, maybe he would still have scored less, or maybe even lesser or maybe he would have topped the exam. Sadly, we would never be able to find out what would have been because some people didn't realize the responsibility given to them.

- After BA.LL.B. one has an option to go for LL.M. from a top law school (globally). After that, it does not matter from where you completed BA.LLB.
- There are many other results like LSAT India, still pending.
- Jindal cut off likely to be 70 to 80 percentile this year. This is a brilliant college.
- Among other private law schools, ILNU, SLS Pune and Noida are good options.
- Bottom 4 NLUs will take admission till 3000 to 4000 CLAT rank after 6th July.
- The top 15-18 law schools in India are also good now. Next 10 are also most likely to be good by the time you pass out in 5 years.
- Some top educational brands have started new law schools. It will be easy to get those this year and these may turn out to be good law schools in future.
Top non NLU law schools you may consider:
GLC Bombay
Symbiosis Pune
ILS
Jindal Law
Christ Law
Amity Noida
Symbi Noida
Army Law School
Bangalore Law University 5 years
Calcutta University 5 years
BHU law 5 years
ILNU
Then of course Marwadi University
Anyway, for studn
CLAPS
Pathetic reason to believe your stupid claims. And highly misleading for other law students. From a totally unbiased point of view,let me tell you that your law school despite its shortcomings is doing great and at least has made a name for itself among the fraternity. It definitely features after JGLS and Symbiosis Pune, and that's not because it is good enough but because there are more sad institutes out there. And among them, current students at ILNU has an impressive run of achievements.
P.S. Future students, some morons who can't overcome their own inaptitude and perform well in career often end up blaming institute. Here is a simple way you can judge different law schools, go to the website--> Check Achievements and faculty + Library and curriculum. Later check the NIRF data listed on them. Compare wisely.
1.Between 4.6.2018 to 10.6.2018 the matter will be heard by Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel and justice Ashok Bhusan ( see supreme court website notification )
2.Every judge approach is different ,there are number of conflicting judgement given by different bench for the same matter.
3.Given judges given judgement in SC/ST act and Rajasthan PSC case recently unlike previous two benches which includes judges which didn't even entertain plea in neet and cbse case ,every judge approach is different
4.Committee is very very slow ,that means members are honest
5.There is no formula to compensate or to give extra marks ,it will change the whole merit list ,you cann't take out a deserving candidate from the list also what about reserved candidate ?
6.Many exams were after everything get over i.e admission and counselling process ,recruitment process etc.I know judiciary is slow but you have to wait till final judgement .
3.Rajasthan PSC Exam
6.Many exams were reconducted
Just to add
7.Media and teachers just jumped to the conclusion except LEGALLY INDIA that there will be no exam,Court didn't said anything as such. Honorable judges don't want to change the previous order given by the previous bench.In that circumstances Committee won't come up with any Grievance Redressal Report and Court have to give stay order that's why court listed the matter on 6.6.2018 a day before counselling.
8.In next hearing Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel with Ashok Bhusan will hear the case ,Justice Adarsh Kumar Goel is the most seniormost judge among all judges which heard the matter till now.Seniority also matters
9.Just don't come to the conclusion before final judgement .Have faith in Judiciary .In the meantime file PIL ,IA (Interlocutary Application ) if you can
10 Thank You

I am not trying to take away credit, but is it not strange that one exam centre gets the top 3 ranks??
www.lawctopus.com/not-join-lower-ranked-national-law-university-nlu-instead/
- Top 3 from same exam centre in Jaipur, all 3 of them are friends who went to same coaching centre
- Big dip in Karnataka ranks. Only two make it to NLSIU
- Bihar highest rank is 92. So no Bihar student in NLSIU
