Hence, with the addition of one more NLU, the seats available for admissions have increased and a significantly higher number of law aspirants are expected to appear for the national-level law exam this year.

Big Relief to Law Aspirants - No Age Bar
The CLAT 2018 Notification doesn't mention any information about the age for Law aspirants. Unlike last year, when the Bar Council of India (BCI) had introduced an age bar policy on Law admissions and restricted candidates above 20 years of age to appear in CLAT Exam. But, Supreme Court's stay order on BCI's age bar policy has given the NUALS freedom to exempt age bar and allowed all the law aspirants to appear for CLAT irrespective of their age.
