As many as 3,377 government school students have applied for Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), thanks to the State’s initiative.
The Tamil Nadu government had released about ₹1.3 crore under the Naan Mudhalvan scheme to take care of the application fee of ₹4,000 for the national-level entrance exam. As the application deadline has been extended, the government is also targeting an increase in the number of students taking the test.
In Chennai, Government Higher Secondary School in Ashok Nagar has recorded the highest number of students (96), who will take the test. “This has enabled many students to follow their dreams. The scheme ensured that children knew of the various professions and the procedure to achieve their dream. Though some lacked money to pursue it, this measure has ensured that the children can follow through,” said Rajalakshmi, a teacher at the school.
