PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) are highly sought-after government job opportunities for freshers in India. These organizations are either partially or entirely owned by the government and play a crucial role in the country's economic development. One of the ways to secure a government job in PSUs is through the CLAT (Common Law Admission Test) scores. In this article, we will explore the eligibility criteria, selection process, and the list of PSUs that recruit through CLAT in 2024.

Eligibility Criteria for PSU Recruitment through CLAT

To apply for PSU recruitment through CLAT, candidates must fulfill the following eligibility criteria:

1. There is no upper age limit for applying to PSUs.
2. For post-graduate (LLM) programs, candidates must have scored a minimum of 55% marks in their graduation. The minimum marks required may vary for specific PSUs, with some requiring a score of 60% or above.

In addition to PSU recruitment, candidates who have secured 55% marks in their graduation can also apply for various state-level Judiciary Exams, providing an alternative career choice.

List of PSUs Using CLAT Score

Every year, several reputed PSUs hire Law Officers, Legal Advisors, Legal Executive trainees, and Trainee Legal Advisors based on CLAT scores. These PSUs have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the CLAT Committee to hire candidates through the common law admission test. Here is a list of PSUs recruiting through CLAT in 2024:

It is important to note that these dates are tentative and subject to change. Candidates should refer to the official notifications and websites of the respective PSUs for accurate and updated information.

Types of PSU Recruitment through CLAT

PSUs in India can be classified into three categories: Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs), Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs), and Public Sector Banks (PSBs). CPSEs have different statuses based on their annual turnover and net worth. These statuses are explained below:

1. Maharatna

Companies that have been given the Maharatna status have an average annual turnover of Rs 20,000 crore in the last three years, with an average annual net worth or combined value of assets of Rs 10,000 crore.

2. Navratna

CPSEs with a Schedule 'A' and a Miniratna Category 1 status are eligible to be considered for the Navratna status. This status grants the PSU the power to invest up to Rs 1,000 crore without government approval.

3. Miniratna

CPSEs that have consistently made profits in the last three years and have a positive net worth are eligible to be considered for the grant of Miniratna status.

Selection Process of PSU Recruitment through CLAT

The selection process for PSU recruitment through CLAT involves three stages:

1. Shortlisting of Students: PSUs shortlist candidates based on their merit list in the CLAT 2024 Exam.
2. Release of the Invite List: Students whose names are present in the shortlist will be sent call letters for the interview process.
3. Interview: The interview process may be conducted online or offline and will be conducted by different PSUs. The mode of conduct will be notified to the candidates at least one week before the interview.

During the interview, candidates are required to produce their interview call letter and other important documents such as the CLAT Scorecard and academic certificates.
