The CLAT exam syllabus typically covers subjects such as English Language, Current Affairs, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Quantitative Techniques, knowing the syllabus helps in structuring your preparation effectively.

The CLAT 2025 examination will have a maximum of 120 marks and a duration of 2 hours. It consists of 120 multiple-choice questions, each carrying one mark. However, candidates should be cautious, as there is a negative marking scheme in place, with a deduction of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer. The paper is divided into various subject areas, with approximate numbers of questions as follows: English Language (22-26 questions approx.), Current Affairs including General Knowledge (28-32 questions approx.), Legal Reasoning (28-32 questions approx.), Logical Reasoning (22-26 questions approx.), and Quantitative Techniques (10-14 questions approx.).

There is no sectional cut-off. To get acquainted with the pattern and understand the types of questions better, you should talk to experienced mentors in CLAT coaching classes.

Students of any stream can sit after their 10+2 exam, provided that they have passed with a 45% aggregate. The results don’t need to be declared at the time of sitting for CLAT. But in a situation where you are unable to pass the boards but have cleared CLAT, you will not be able to join a National Law University.

National Law Universities are centres of legal excellence. They are at the top of the ladder not only in the Indian legal education system but also attract several international students. Superior academic standards, infrastructure, libraries, all-around development, moot court competitions, and the fact that the best minds of law choose to study there make National Law Schools a one-of-a-kind experience.
