The 2020 Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) has been postponed for the second time now by another month this time, to 21 June, because to the ongoing Covid-19 crisis and extended lockdown.
The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLU) has decided to extend the dates again in a meeting held today, confirmed this year’s CLAT convenor and DNLU Jabalpur VC, Prof Balraj Chauhan.
Chauhan told us today: “The new dates are that exam will be conducted on 21st June and the last application date has been extended to 18th May.”
“There’s no way out,” he explained about the reason for this extension, referencing the ongoing lockdown.
The first extension to the CLAT dates, as we were first to report on 27 March, had pushed the exam date by two weeks from 10 May 2020 to 24 May 2020.
The application deadline had also been extended from 31 March to 25 April 2020.
However, with that old application deadline having come up fast, and no certainty whatsoever about the duration of the current lockdown, another extension was no doubt inevitable.

This is how things work. You push back things that can't be done now. However, you plan for them to be carried out as soon as safely possible beyond the current announced lockdown. If the lockdown is extended, then the date will be pushed back further based on factual information based at that point.
'Band together' - hmm.
