CLAT in Hindi? Delhi HC Mulls Linguistic Change for Level Playing Field.

In a surprising development, the Delhi High Court has issued a notice seeking insights from law universities on the feasibility of conducting the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) in Hindi and regional languages.

This pivotal move comes after Sudhanshu Pathak, a Delhi University law student, filed a plea pointing out the unequal footing students from non-English medium schools face.

Although the decision is not final, the committee will work on creating a framework to include Hindi as a medium of the CLAT paper. Their findings will be presented in a report soon.

Yet, despite these discussions, one thing remains certain: the English Language section in CLAT will persist in English. Check how to improve vocabulary in CLAT to boost marks in this section.
