NLU argued that the CLAT examination should not be compared with other qualifying and entrance examinations like UPSC, IIT-JEE and NEET

The Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) has informed the Delhi High Court that it is not possible to conduct the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2024 in Hindi and other regional languages. The Consortium stated that the syllabus as well as the test pattern for the exam scheduled to be conducted in December 2023 has already been announced and students are preparing accordingly.

“On the administrative side of the consortium, preparatory work of setting the paper/key, requisite contract of software technical support (OM) etc. began in the month of February 2023 itself and are now in advanced stage of completion. Hence, the option for other scheduled options of language is a near impossibility for the 21 CLAT to be held in December 2023." the affidavit filed by the Consortium reads.

National Law Universities argued that the CLAT examination should not be compared with other qualifying and entrance examinations like UPSC, IIT-JEE, and NEET. NLU said that the above-mentioned examinations are conducted on a much larger scale compared to CLAT. Even after that, these examinations are not held in all the regional languages enumerated in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.

A law student, Sudhanshu Pathak had earlier filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) demanding that CLAT 2024 should be held in Hindi and other regional languages. After the PIL was filed NLU formed a committee with the aim to examine the prospect of holding a CLAT examination in Indian vernacular languages. The committee held its first meeting on June 25 and now the second meeting is scheduled to be conducted in July second week.

The committee argued that English is the medium of instruction in the NLUs and that the Bar Council of India (BCI) Rules of Legal Education, 2008 make it mandatory that English should be the medium of instruction in both five-year and three-year law courses.

[ad_1] Blood sample for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) test Jarun011 | Istock | Getty Images U.S. Food and Drug Administration staff on Tuesday said Pfizer's vaccine that protects infants from respiratory syncytial virus has "generally favorable" safety data. The FDA staff made the conclusion in briefing documents ahead of a meeting on Thursday when a panel of external advisors to the agency will discuss whether to recommend full approval of the RSV shot . The advisors will vote on whether Pfizer's late-stage clinical trial data on the vaccine supports its safety and efficacy. The FDA typically follows the advice of its advisory committees, but is not required to do so. The agency is slated to make a decision on whether to clear the shot in August before RSV season in the fall. If approved, Pfizer's jab would become the world's first vaccine that protects infants against RSV.  RSV usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms. But infants and older ad

On a day lacking major shocks, there were wins for Premier League strugglers Leeds, Leicester and Southampton but Fulham were held by Championship side Sunderland. United – fourth in the Premier League and within touching distance of a place in the League Cup final – produced more compelling evidence they are back on track under new manager Erik ten Hag . The home side took the lead at Old Trafford in the 54th minute when Anthony produced a defence-splitting pass to find Brazil teammate Casemiro, who lifted the ball over goalkeeper Joe Lumley. Four minutes later United were two up, when Casemiro let fly with a stunning strike from outside the box to find the bottom corner. With the home side brimming with confidence, substitute Fred produced an audacious flic
