Delhi University faces PIL challenging use of CLAT scores for law admissions
The Court was hearing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging DU’s decision to consider CLAT 2023 scores for admission to the five-year integrated law courses.
Prince Singh, a student at DU’s Faculty of Law, has demanded that the University should implement the CUET scores for admission.
It has been argued that the University Grants Commission (UGC) has said that all central universities shall complete their undergraduate admission processes in accordance with CUET. While admission for all other courses is being done through CUET, for the five-year law courses at DU, CLAT scores are being considered.
Owing to this, only a separate class/category/segment of students can secure admission to the five-year courses at Faculty of Law, University of Delhi, the plea stated.
It is also pointed out that while the CUET is conducted in multiple languages, CLAT is conducted only in English.
