Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) Syllabus

Can you provide me the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) Syllabus as I will be preparing for the Exam and need for preparation?

[Arun Vats]

There is no fixed syllabus for Common Law Admission Test (CLAT). The different subject areas of the exam are explained as under:

1. English including Comprehension
The English section will test the candidates proficiency in English based on comprehension passages and grammar. In the comprehension section, candidates will be questioned on their understanding of the passage and its central theme, meanings of words used therein etc. The grammar section requires correction of incorrect grammatical sentences, filling of blanks in sentences with appropriate words, etc.

2. General Knowledge And Current Affairs
As far as general knowledge is concerned, the candidates will be assessed on their general awareness including static general knowledge. Questions on current affairs will test candidate’s knowledge on current affairs.
3. Mathematics
This section will test candidates only on “elementary” mathematics i.e. maths that is taught till the class 10.

4.Legal Aptitude

This section will test candidate interest towards study of law, research aptitude and problem solving ability. Questions will be framed with the help of legal propositions (described in the paper), and a set of facts to which the said proposition has to be applied. Some propositions may not be "true" in the real sense (e.g. the legal proposition may be that any person who speaks in a movie hall and disturbs others that are watching the movie will be banned from entering any movie theatre across India for one year). Candidates will have to assume the "truth" of these propositions and answer the questions accordingly.

5. Logical Reasoning

The purpose of the logical reasoning section is to test the candidates ability to identify patterns, logical links and rectify illogical arguments. It will include a wide variety of logical reasoning questions such as syllogisms, logical sequences, analogies, etc. However, visual reasoning will not be tested.

The OMR sheets shall be darkened with black ball point pen only and the candidates shall not be allowed to carry the Question papers
