PU Law vs CLAT — which exam should Chandigarh students take?

Seats, syllabus style and college options compared, to help Tricity students decide between PU Law Entrance and CLAT, or both.

Style difference

CLAT is passage-based across all sections; PU's paper has more direct questions. Reading skill matters in both.

College outcome

CLAT leads to National Law Universities; PU Law leads to Panjab University's law departments in Chandigarh — convenient for Tricity students.

Take both

Most Tricity aspirants prepare for both because the overlap is large. See PU LLB vs CLAT vs AILET.
