CLAT exam details to know 

According to the website, for being admissible to the CLAT exam, students must have the admit card handy on the CLAT date. The admit cards will be reportedly out in two week’s duration before the CLAT date. The General Body of the Consortium,  yesterday went through the pros and cons of conducting the exams under the risk of the prevalent pandemic in the country. The body is facing many issues for conducting the exams as the risk situation in all states is not uniform. For example, Maharashtra is worst affected, whereas, Chandigarh, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and are least affected in the country. The safety and health levels and risks respectively are different in all the states. Thus, the consortium is looking for an ideal way of conducting the exams by taking into consideration all these aspects.

The general guideline for centres of the examinations and the safety protocols were laid out on June 30 and will be seeing minor changes to the process. As per reports, the examination will be conducted in the manner mentioned in the June 30 guidelines. The NLU Consortium will reportedly check and review the centres beforehand to avoid any discrepancies. The notification also stresses that "The Consortium is in the process of securing further permissions so that the Admit Cards of candidates shall be considered as Movement Passes by local authorities to allow candidates to move between Containment zones and travel to their designated examination centre."
