PATNA: More than 93% of the candidates wrote the Common Law Admission Test-2021 (CLAT) in Patna and Muzaffarpur in a fair and peaceful manner on Friday. No untoward incident was reported from the seven centres.
The test was held in the offline mode from 2pm to 4pm at Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), St Xavier’s High School, Magadh Mahila College, Patna Science College, Patna Law College and St Michael’s High School in Patna and Langat Singh College in Muzaffarpur.
The examination superintendent of CNLU, S P Singh, told this newspaper, “Of the 3,970 applicants for undergraduate admissions, 3,713 took the test. Similarly, 303 out of the 352 applicants wrote the exam for postgraduate admissions.”
The candidates were asked to report at their centres an hour before the commencement of the test so that the Covid safety protocols could be followed properly. They entered the centres in masks and underwent thermal screening and complete sanitization. All the people on examination duty were given Covid kits containing masks, face shields, gloves, and sanitizers.
“The results of the entrance test are likely to be announced in a month,” Singh said.
