After 12th class result, I have started preparing for CLAT and I took a year off to prepare for the examination. I gave my CLAT after preparing and got into NLUO and secured good marks. I got the university through CLAT consortium and filled in my academic details and got the seat throught the details and preference list I have put in. One can apply for CLAT through the official website and pay the application fee after filling in all the details. I have not applied for any reservation benefits but one can avail them if they are eligible for the same. The application dates have to be checked before proceeding with the application on the official website of CLAT consortium. One improvement I want to see in the application process is to make it more simpler and reduce the fees of the application form so as to make it more acccessible to the economically underprivileged.
