FAQsPending verification
Is 'Indian Army JAG Entry' a different exam from 'Indian Army JAG Entry Scheme'?
No. They are the same entry under two names, and StudyBddy keeps one full record for it at the slug indian-army-jag-entry-scheme. Open that page.
Does the Army set a written paper for JAG entry?

Only CLAT 2026 PG, conducted in Dec 2025. Note 3 to para 2 says it is the only exam applicable for this course and that no other CLAT PG score shall be accepted.
