CLAT 2021 Registration Deadline Extended, Exam Dates Likely to Change

The Consortium of National Law Universities has extended the registration deadline of Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2021 to May 15. The application process was to be closed on April 30, as per the earlier schedule. Candidates who have not registered for the exam yet can now do it through the official site of consortiumofnlus.ac.in.

The decision to extend the deadline of CLAT 2021 registration has been made by the Executive Committee of the Consortium of National Law Universities, which met on April 28. After reviewing recent developments, the Committee resolved to extend the application deadline due to “difficulties faced by students arising out of bank closures and lockdowns.”

Meanwhile, the CLAT 2021 exam dates are also expected to change. The Consortium of National Law Universities earlier said that it will “take the stock of the situation in the first week of May 2021 regarding the date of test“. Currently, the law entrance exam is scheduled to be held on June 13.
