CLAT PG is the entrance exam for LLM admission across 24 participating National Law Universities, held on the same day and under the same registration window as CLAT UG (the Consortium runs one combined portal for both papers). Open to LLB graduates (and final-year LLB students) rather than students entering law for the first time.
