What’s New in CLAT 2024?

  • The number of questions to come down to 120-150 from 200.
  • The reason cited for a reduction in the number is “asking students to answer 200 questions in 120 minutes is not right as it puts students under a lot of mental stress” as per Prof. Faizan Mustafa, Vice-Chancellor, NALSAR.
  • Comprehension-based questions to be asked from Quantitative Techniques, English, Current Affairs, Deductive Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning.
  • The changes in exam patterns are also made with a view to attracting students with better competence in reading texts and who have demonstrated skills in inferential reasoning.
