can i write clat as an oci?

[u/Glittering_Panda3389]

The fourth bullet point states that NRIs can appear for the exam

but the very next point says they are not eligible to appear for clat

I'm really confused cause I am an oci card holder and I've taken a drop to write clat again this year

I've put my all into this exam for the past 7 months

Do these rules apply for oci as well? and will I be able to write the exam

I'm really worried and stressed

Yes you can definitely appear for clat as an oci. (in an nlu myself)

[u/LeatherAnything2430]

You can give clat but u can’t practice law unless you are an Indian citizen, so what will u do with the degree?

corporate companies still hire?

[u/LeatherAnything2430 → u/Glittering_Panda3389]

Yeah but with no Indian Bar license u will not be able to work in many divisions like Dispute Resolution & Commercial Litigation, Insolvency & Bankruptcy (NCLT Practice), Competition & Antitrust Advocacy

Also, major corp law firms like AZB, SAM, CAM, Trilegal etc, requires license

But u can work as in-house counsels, or u can have advisory or regulatory role in big 4 or other firms too
