“The surge in both categories culminates in an outstanding overall growth of 24.5 per cent, showcasing the enthusiasm and widespread interest in CLAT 2024. It can be attributed to the shift of the exam to the month of December from June, which enables a tension fee timeline for both the aspirants and organizers,” said Prof. Vijender Kumar, president, Consortium of NLUs, on Saturday.

To ease stress of candidates appearing for the test, the Consortium revised the UG paper reducing the questions from 150 to 120 and retained the same duration of two hours. The test is set to be conducted at 139 test centres across the country.

According to the Consortium, to accommodate candidates from regions with a significant tribal population, the CLAT 2024 expanded its footprint by introducing new test centres in Silvassa and Diu in the union Territory of Dadra Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu.
