CLAT 2014 likely to be held around 11 May by GNLU

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2014 is tentatively scheduled to be held on 11 May 2014, organised by GNLU Gandhinagar, and will take benefit of a system of “centralised online counselling” to admit candidates to various law schools, taking account of their scores and preferences.

GNLU registrar Dolly Jabbal told Legally India that the tentative date was decided in the CLAT core committee meeting that was held around a month ago, but the final date will be fixed after an internal meeting at the law school this week.

In the meeting last month the core committee discussed various CLAT issues including the eligibility criteria for the UG and PG courses, test centres, notification for application forms, important dates and pattern of question papers, reported Live Law.

CLAT has been through several bumps around its implementation each year, with errors in question papers, university allotment lists, and quota-based rankings.

GNLU making the paper?

It should have been made by nls or nujs.

Dear Aspirant,

It seems you are a law school aspirant and not even a law student. How are you qualified to comment as to whether GNLU can prepare the CLAT or not. Shows your quality and approach in life. Also, as per the rules, all national law unversities will conduct CLAT every year based on their seniority. It is clear you are not aware of the same and i can predict clearly how your preparations have been. Well am sure you will be in the bottom half of CLAT rank list. Good luck and hope you get into a decent local law school, which definately will not get a chance to prepare the CLAT questions

[b]I had a terrible experience of meeting a frustrated girl from GNLU while I was interning in one of the law firms. She still haunts me and I feel working hard for CLAT back then totally paid off. the sad part is except for top 3-4 law schools, all other schools are struggling badly. GNLU infrastructure is good. but you have to meet students. in every batch only a dozen are good, 60% average, 28% no future.
I am not lying, I have my friends there, they are sad and depressed. these guys are aspiring for 20k jobs. WTF.

the thing is students work hard and get into clat belt colleges and then relax for 5 years and crave for things they don't deserve.
Yes, I think question paper should be prepared by a faculty from 3 nls.[/b]

Hello,

Calm down. You dont need to get all personal [...]. The child probably hasnt heard of your law school. And, his name clearly suggests that he is a law aspirant. So, there isnt any question of him being a law student, you dimwit.

@ hello:

I dont think u need to comment on this. Even if i am less prepared, i will get more than u and will be in a better college then where u have studied ur law from.

And i dont need to know the rotation rule. This is not must thing.

I know my capability and I dont need to get a certificate of intelligence from you. I hope you have better work to do in the law school that you are studying.

Ciao

Making judgements already ? Give yourself an year and you'll end up ranting about about how your tier 3 nlu is rising fast and and how the top three rankers got into Amarchand before you know it. It's the hard truth. If you're on a good run of luck on the day of the examination, you make it. Else you convince yourself and others that you chose what you got from the rest of the lot and didn't settle.

And you'd probably want to disguise that arrogance better if you want a good first year in law school. Good luck.

GNLU is a shithole and this a statement from one of their students in 3rd year. I am from NUJS and even though some of our acedemic performance has dipped in recent years which has been highlighted in media still the quality in NLS, NALSAR and NUJS are way better than any of the other other Nationa law colleges under CLAT.

Amm, NUJS is better than any other NLU's under CLAT ? Really ? NLIU Bhopal and NLU Jodhpur have given better placements and have shown more caliber in mooting events and mediation tournaments than NUJS.
Think before you speak.

Mediation tournaments ?! I don't even know how to respond to this. Good to know you made it to NUJS but for the love of God, i hope the new common law entrance test can effect a better talent allocation.

Bizzarre that in an effort to promote "equality", CLAT committee has let colleges like GNLU and last year NLU Jodhpur to organise the exam. It is a well known fact that these colleges have doubtful placement and embarassing faculty (even the better colleges have some mediocre faculty). Their placements and reputation are nil. Each year more than half the batch goes into 'litigation' or 'civil service preparation' for lack of jobs. Instead of correcting this they are busy organising CLAt which is really a shame. These colleges are sadly filled with aspirants of NLS NALSAR and NUJS who failed to get there.

It's like Holland, Canada and Bermuda organising the cricket world cup instead of concentrating on getting test status

Well said 'R&D' .
All these colleges like GNLU and NLU jodhpur hardly can be called national law schools. Then there are more colleges opening which numbers to 10-11 in total which hardly can be called colleges at all. Teacher in these colleges hardly have read any of the subjects in their under graduation or post graduation but as they did not get any job anywhere else and litigation was also not an option for them as they cant speak thy ended up taking up teaching. Weird that students from these law colleges claim they are better than the so called traditional colleges when I know people from GLC and ILS who are way better than these so called "pseudo - national law school students". So guys from colleges like GNLU and other National law schools except NLS,NALSAR and to an degree NUJS tell your administration to appoint some faculties who actually know their subject.
