Vasco: The India International University of Legal Education and Research (IIULER), a premier law institute established by the Bar Council of India Trust in Goa, has officially joined the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs).
The spokesman of IIULER said that with this inclusion, IIULER becomes the 25th member of the consortium and will now participate in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) for the first time, starting with CLAT 2025. He also mentioned that around 75,000 candidates have registered for the highly anticipated exam this year, which is the gateway to admission to top law schools across India.
Prof. V.C. Vivekanandan, President of the Consortium of NLUs, said on Wednesday that IIULER, Goa, is the newest addition to the NLU Consortium.
“Prospective students wishing to pursue undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) programs at IIULER will be able to express their preferences during the counseling process, which will commence after the CLAT 2025 results are announced on December 1, 2024,” he said.
Previously, IIULER had conducted its own entrance exam, the IIULET, for the first two years. The institute, which is only the second law school to be established by the BCI Trust after NLSIU Bangalore, also offers a 20 percent reservation for candidates from Goa.
