Hello
I am in the final year of B.Com.
I want to pursue law after graduation.
I have heard that for CLAT you need to get
minimum of 50% marks in Class XII .
Does this criteria of minimum 50%
marks apply also to graduation.

I have visited the respective sites of the University and filled an application for CLAT. Now B. Com with the law will be a three year course but you have to get clear in CLAT. And I think it is necessary to secured 50% in graduation to apply for CLAT. The basic concepts on which CLAT exam revolves around is English, Legal Aptitude, GK, reasoning, Legal reasoning, Arthermatic but what are the topics in legal aptitude..?

See, LLB can be done through 2 modes :

1. By fighting the CLAT examination.

2. Through simple LLB.

If you appear in CLAT and secure a good rank in that then you will be given admission in any of the National Law Universities across the country for a 5 years BA-LLB degree.

But if you have completed graduation then you are not eligible for CLAT.
A simple LLB, you are eligible.

Many university acoross the country are there which offer a LLB degree through regular as well as the private mode.

There is no such hard and fast eligibility criteria for that.

The candidate just have to pass the higher secondary and all the subject in that successfully as per the guidelines of UGC.

Since you are pursuing BCom, then if you are under 23 years of age then only you can apply for CLAT.
