Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed a writ petition challenging the National Law School of India University's decision to conduct a separate admission test, the National Law Aptitude Test (NLAT), instead of using the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). The court emphasized the importance of maintaining a unified admission process for law schools to ensure fairness and transparency. Ultimately, the court directed NLSIU to adhere to the CLAT for admissions, reinforcing the need for a standardized approach in legal education.
