This is an excellent, informative and relevant article at this particular point of time. The author has beautifully covered list of universities, eligibility conditions for UG and PG, procedure to apply, online application, application fees and important dates of this very important examination held all over India. However, I feel that the author could have mentioned the question pattern and syllabus of CLAT. For the convenience of the applicants, I would like to state that the CLAT (for admission in LLB) will have a total of 200 questions having 1 mark for each of the questions. The subjects covered in CLAT include English Comprehension which will be of 40 marks, General Knowledge and Current Affairs questions of 50 marks, numerical ability which is basically elementary Mathematics for 20 marks and logical reasoning abilities which will be for 45 marks. The examination has adopted the system of negative marking. 0.25 marks will be deducted for each wrong answer.

Concluding my response, I thank the author for this informative and timely article. It would definitely help the aspirants.
