An icing on the cake for students appearing in the CLAT PG exam is that some of the PSUs (Public Sector Units) use CLAT PG scores for recruiting candidates for various legal roles.
Just to be clear, candidates who have completed their LLB can apply for these PSU roles; and the CLAT PG scores are used as one of the selection criteria. CLAT UG candidates are not eligible.
Apart from the cut-off marks announced in the CLAT PG 2018 scores, there will also be other qualifying and filtering processes for each organization, such as minimum marks in LLB, group discussions, and personal interviews.
While ONGC and PGCIL are recruiting fresh LLB graduates, BHEL requires candidates to have at least one year of experience as a Legal Officer in specified organizations.
