If you are in Shimla and still deciding which law entrance to sit, the short answer is that Himachal Pradesh students realistically choose between CLAT for the national law universities, PU CET (UG) Law for Panjab University, and AILET for NLU Delhi, with SLAT as a private-university option and the PU three-year LLB route for graduates. Most of that preparation overlaps, so one batch at Surya Law Academy (Sector 25-D, Chandigarh, 5 minutes from Panjab University) covers several exams at once. Compare the options below, then open the exam-specific page for your city. Call 8591850950 or WhatsApp to talk it through.
| Exam | Opens the door to | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| CLAT | The national law universities across India | Class 11, Class 12 and repeat-year students aiming at a five-year BA LLB at an NLU. |
| AILET | NLU Delhi | Students already preparing for CLAT. Heavier on logical reasoning, with no quantitative section. |
| PU CET (UG) Law | Panjab University UILS and its regional law centres | Students who want a five-year BA LLB close to home in the Chandigarh region. |
| PU LLB (3-Year) | The Panjab University three-year LLB | Graduates and final-year college students, rather than school students. |
| SLAT | The Symbiosis Law Schools | Students who want a private-university option alongside their CLAT attempt. |
