SC Rejects NLSIU's Separate Entrance Exam, Directs to Consider CLAT Scores
The Supreme Court on September 21 directed the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru to consider the scores of Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) for admissions instead of a separate exam. Earlier, the SC had allowed NLSIU to conducted a separate entrance exam and withhold the results and admissions. However, the decision was contested by the former NLSIU Vice-Chancellor stating that it was "manifestly arbitrary and illegal decision."
