CLAT Syllabus:
● English language:
Extra classes for students are conducted from time to time. Besides that, one-on-one classes, doubt clearing sessions, compensation classes and practice of interview sessions are conducted.● Current Affairs and General Knowledge:
Instead of the direct questions previously, this portion would consist of texts. The paragraphs would be 450 words long and taken from news, journals, and other sources. Questions would be posed in response to such sections. Because such a question might cover the static component, applicants are recommended not to skip it.● Quantitative Techniques:
Short sets of facts or propositions, graphs, or other textual, graphical, or diagrammatic representations of numerical information will be presented in the Quantitative Technique or Maths part, followed by a series of questions. The questions will be in the form of Data Interpretation, which requires applicants to deduce information from the supplied paragraph and respond accordingly.● Legal Reasoning:
The candidate’s enthusiasm in the study of law, research aptitude, and problem-solving skills will be tested in this part. Again, questions would be based on texts referring to facts or scenarios concerning legal issues. The chapter would include specific rules and concepts that would need to be discovered and applied to the questions.● Logical Reasoning:
The logical reasoning portion is designed to assess the candidate’s ability to spot patterns, logical relationships and correct faulty arguments. The questions would be based on a 300-word text.Tips:
