CLAT 2008 Results

This post was guest blogged by Sneezy Melon of The Goofy Express.

The Common Law Admission Test results were released today, two days after the scheduled date 17th May 2008. The website attributed the delay to a “technical problem” for which all the Vice Chancellors held a meeting yesterday. The test was held for the first time this year, resulting from the Memorandum of Understanding signed between all the seven National Law Schools on 23rd November 2007. In its first run itself, the test saw a record 10,773 aspirants. The website itself boasts of an odd 2.5 lakh pageviews.

There was no negative marking in the test and the questionwise breakup was as follows-

1. English – 40 marks
2. General Knowledge – 50 marks
3. Mathematics – 20 marks
4. Legal Aptitude – 40 marks
5. Logical Reasoning – 50 marks.

General Knowledge was, inarguably, the toughest part of the test. Mathematics and English were undoubtedly on the easier side. Logical Reasoning required only a bit of simple thinking. Legal Aptitude involved basic deduction analysis.

The law schools taking part in the CLAT are-

1. National Law School of India University (NLSIU) (Bangalore)
2. NALSAR University of Law (Hyderabad)
3. National Law Institute University (Bhopal)
4. The West Bengal National IUniversity of Juridical Sciences (NUJS)
5. National Law University (Jodhpur)
6. Hidayatullah National Law University (Raipur)
7. Gujarat National Law University (GNLU)

Three more law universities will also be using the CLAT results for admission for the academic year 2008-09, namely-

1. Chanakya National Law University (Patna)
2. Dr. Ram Manohar Lohiya National Law University (Lucknow)
