CLAT 2026 Exam Date

The Consortium of National Law Universities has officially announced that CLAT 2026 will be conducted on December 7, 2025 (Sunday) from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The examination will be an offline mode of examination at multiple test centres in India.

As was the case with last year, the paper will still maintain a comprehension-based approach, so you will be seeing passages in practically all sections English, Current Affairs, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning and Quantitative Techniques.

It doesn't require mugging up facts.. It's how effectively you can comprehend, analyse and apply concepts while handling the time pressure.
