This, the Consortium stated, reflected a 34.7% increase in applications for the UG exam and a 25.8% increase in PG exam applications.
The Consortium stated that this surge in both categories culminates in an outstanding overall growth of 24.5%, showcasing the enthusiasm and widespread interest in CLAT 2024 and can be attributed to the shift of the exam to the month of December from June which enables a tension fee timeline for both the aspirants and organizers
The exam was held on Sunday at 139 centres across the country. New centres were added at Silvassa and Diu in the Union Territory of Dadra Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu.
The UG paper saw a reduction in the number of questions from 150 to 120, while the duration of 2 hours was retained, the release further said.
