CLAT to go ahead on 28 September, Chhattisgarh-Raipur lockdown being managed

Monday, 21 September 2020 By Legally India Pre-law student

The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) exam to be held on 28 September 2020 would go ahead as scheduled despite the lockdown in Chhattisgarh and its capital Raipur.

Raipur, which is host to the national law school HNLU Raipur, is one of 10 districts in the state that have been locked down to curtail the spread of the Coronavirus.

The measures are set to end by 28 September, the day of the CLAT, which will be held in more than 200 physical test centres across the country.

CLAT convenor Prof Balraj Chauhan commented about Chhattisgarh: “It is a lockdown but no restrictions on transport. We have written to the government and asked to CJ [chief justice] also to look into the matter.

“Admit card will be allowed as E-Pass.”

Previous surprise lockdowns in states had been responsible for prior delays, notably West Bengal’s and Bihar’s decisions that had last month pushed the CLAT from 7 to 28 September.

The Pioneer had also reported that the Raipur district collector had told the paper that “admit cards” to examinations (presumably including the CLAT) would be considered so-called e-passes, exempting them from movement restrictions during lockdown.

websites like legallyindia should never be trusted. This webiste has equally contributed in pushing the appointment of Sudhir krish by berating the TLC faculty members. today when sudhir is down, this orgnaisation has beckstabbed by fuelling the populist agenda.

How did it backstab anyone? It has done everything out in the open. As someone who is apparently pro-Sudhir, shouldn't you have better grasp over how backstabbing is done?

Best of luck to the CLAT aspirants, now. This has been a year of massive fluctuations. Having battled an uncertain world filled with unwise entities, I'm sure that all the young minds would only come out stronger in the coming times. As a generation, this new crop of students is bound to be tougher and more resilient. It wouldn't matter whether you end up at a NLU or the local un-branded traditional university in your vicinity. There are far too many variables out there to let any single one fully determine the measure of your ability, fully. So, work hard with self belief and a calm mind.
Godspeed to all of you out there.

I really hope that the state government somehow take it's step back on thing that the petrol pumps will only be available to government vehicles and those in medical emergency. Many would be making a travel of 200km so I don't know how they would do it if the petrol pumps are closed for them. This rule would also be affecting the AILET and JEE Advance aspirants.

The calculator option in the CLAT has now apparently been removed, no official notice was given, students who mailed the consortium asking about it were informed. This is such a significant change in the exam and it is unacceptable to make such a change without ensuring that every student knows. NLAT FAQ flashbacks ensue.

If CLAT gets pushed, lol at Sudhir. Which means, he can whine into the void. Will be too good.

Has anyone seen the recent interviews with VCs/Deans on Bar & Bench? Height of bootlicking. I am sure they suck up to such people to get favours in return, like sponsorship and subscriptions.

But what about the public transport?
Will it be there and working?
All of them could not afford a private transport, no in these unprecedented times.

What is VCV, the supposed Messiah that NUJS spurned, doing? Birdie tells that he is no different from NKC when it comes to arranging funeral services for inquiries. Like the Messiah of Nagarbhavi everyone wants to be "positive" except that results in negatives for the universities that they lord over.

Hoping that unlike NKC, the Messiah of Raipur will use his good office to ensure minimum hassles for CLAT candidates. NKC informed CLAT about state lockdown and went for BhaatGhoom.
