The 2019 Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) will be held tomorrow, so, first of all, we’d would like to wish good luck to all aspirants.
The newly-formed consortium of national law school vice chancellors has made a number of promising changes this year, including transferring the CLAT to a permanent CLAT secretariat.
For one, the exam will be held offline, hopefully avoiding previous years’ often ill-fated experiments.
Another welcome measure from the consortium’s recent February meeting has promised:
the Executive Committee resolved to put in place a Grievance Redressal Committee for CLAT-2019 which shall be headed by a Former Judge of the Supreme Court and two Former Vice-Chancellors and two present Vice-Chancellors of National Law Universities who are not members of the Executive Committee.
Let’s hope it won’t be required to intervene, though it’s notoriously difficult to make sure the exam goes out without any hitches and that no questions have any issues.
And, much like every year, this is the first year the consortium is holding the CLAT, so the same teething troubles may apply that have afflicted new conveners nearly every year.
So, as requested by readers, if anything in this year’s CLAT did not go well on the day (or has not gone well so far), ranging from bad questions to other organisational issues, please share in the comments so we can ensure it gets fed back to the consortium.
All the best tomorrow!

Does anyone know the answer???
Although if I had a choice I would prefer to go to RMLNLU. But maybe that's just me, and the trends say otherwise anyway.

Or maybe he just teaches that topic?
idk
1. Undeserving people will not get into NLSIU like last time.
2. NUALS was really big scam and a CBI enquiry is needed.
Estimates are of course rough.
It is time that students across NLUs (initially) and maybe some better known private law schools develop their own system of ranking. The methodology should be transparent, open to peer review and must include factors beyond the usual salaries, job prospects etc. How about law schools also being rated on transparent governance, faculty recruitment norms, student-faculty or student-administration relations, disability friendliness, including the physical aspects of campus, how open and inclusive are the law schools to SC/ST/EWS/LGBTIQA etc, performance on mental well-being etc.
The ranking agenda should be students on matters that affect their daily lives. Maybe a more nuanced and granular ranking system will show a different story and a thankful break from yet another variant of jingoism.

Some of their admission web page has nothing except how to get admitted as NRI/foreign national quota.
For example the website
www.nluo.ac.in/admissions-2019.
When visiting admission page for other CLAT member universities in clatconsortiumofnlu.ac.in/ , most favor admission as NRI quota where a low scoring student can get admitted. Law ministry and HRD ministry should completely overhaul NLU NRI admission process.
