Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CLAT 2025 exam pattern?
CLAT 2025: 2 hours, 120 questions, 120 marks. Five sections — English Language (~28 marks), Current Affairs & GK (~35 marks), Legal Reasoning (~35 marks), Logical Reasoning (~10 marks), Quantitative Techniques (~12 marks). All questions are passage-based. Negative marking: -0.25 per wrong answer.
How important are previous year papers for CLAT preparation?
Extremely important. CLAT’s comprehension-based format means exam success depends heavily on reading speed, inference skills, and legal reasoning application — all skills built through consistent practice on authentic papers. 10 years of PYQs also reveal which GK topics repeat and what type of legal principles CLAT tests.
Which NLUs can I get with a CLAT score of 100+?
A CLAT score of 100+/120 (83%+) typically qualifies for top-10 NLUs including NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, NUJS Kolkata, NLU Jodhpur, and GNLU Gandhinagar depending on category and year-specific cut-offs. Exact cut-offs vary — the CLAT Consortium publishes official cut-offs after each exam.
How did CLAT change in 2020?
From 2020, CLAT shifted from standalone objective MCQs to comprehension-passage-based questions. This means questions are drawn from a 400–500 word passage — you must read, understand, and apply concepts rather than recall facts. The 2014–2019 papers in this compilation show the older format; 2020–2023 show the current format — both are valuable for different preparation purposes.
Is CLAT harder than other law entrance exams?
CLAT is moderately difficult — harder than most state law entrance exams but more accessible than AILET (NLU Delhi’s separate exam). The comprehension-based format since 2020 rewards systematic reading practice over rote knowledge. Consistent mock test practice using previous year papers is the most effective preparation strategy.
