The LSAT-India sit-at-home online exam for law school aspirants, which started on Sunday (19 July) and has been continuing with testing sessions throughout the last week, has almost completed its run until this Sunday (26 July). And although it’s apparently not been without any hitches, those hitches may be useful lessons that should be heeded by the other bigger upcoming Covid-era law admissions tests.

The LSAT-India exam has been postponed from 14 June to 19 July, due to an apparent clashing with students’ preparations for the CBSE board exams, which are scheduled between 1 to 15 July, continuing the long-running Covid-19-triggered experiment of being the first to hold a law university entrance test where the stakes are high and the risks are many.

Scoop: And with an online LSAT postponed to 14 June, can the CLAT still hit its offline date of 21 June?

The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) India - used as an admission test for 52 Indian law schools but primarily having acted as a feeder for JGLS Sonepat - has seen 8,268 applicants this year, according to an internal email sent by JGLS VC Prof Raj Kumar (full email published below).
