Admission:

The eligibility is quite simple you must have passed your 12th grade with at least 45 percent aggregate from any stream of arts, science, or commerce. The required examination that one needs to appear in CLAT and its application form is updated on the website of the CLAT consortium, the application form fee is around 4000 and from this year the application form dates have changed that you can check on the CLAT consortium website. I got admitted to MNLU Mumbai through Maharashtra domicile, which made it easy for me to enter the university, the cutoff for the reserved seats is quite low, one can easily pull that off without even studying. Close to 65 percent of the seats are reserved category seats, which means they are domiciled seats. One improvement which the consortium should deeply focus on would be the application form fees which are pretty much compared to other national-level exams, and another thing that they have started this year itself is that no one has to give early preferences.
