SC to hear plea to bring changes in CLAT • The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear a plea for setting up an independent professional body to conduct Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) and sought responses from the Centre and the Bar Council of India (BCI).
A bench of Justices T S Thakur and V Gopal Gowda asked the Centre and the BCI to file responses on a PIL within six weeks after it was alleged that the present examination system, conducted by National Law University, was "opaque, arbitrary, and open to abuse". Senior advocate K KVenugopal, appearing for the petitioner, said there was a need to review the fee structure, format and syllabus for the exam as it created hurdles in the way of students from poor rural families.
"The present practice of paper setting is arbitrary and irrational, inasmuch as the paper setters entrusted with framing of question papers are often ill-equipped and unqualified. The questions are being reproduced verbatim from private guidebooks and other publicly available resources, thereby diluting the credibility and standard of the examination," Venugopal said. • The petitioner alleged that the papers contained irrelevant, wrong and hyper-technical questions which had no connection to one's aptitude for the study of law.
