About CLAT
The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities for admission to the undergraduate programmes of the participating universities. The UG instructions for CLAT 2027 say there are 26 such universities, and that each states its own courses, seats, reservation and fees. Indian nationals, NRIs and holders of PIO or OCI cards may appear. Foreign nationals are not eligible to appear and are told to approach a university directly. A candidate submits the Class 12 result at the time of admission.
CLAT 2027 is a pen-and-paper test on Sunday, 6 December 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eligible candidates in the PwD category sit from 2:00 p.m. to 4:40 p.m. The paper has 120 multiple-choice questions, one mark each, and a wrong answer costs 0.25 marks. An unanswered question costs nothing. The two hours cover the whole paper; the instructions do not set a separate clock for each subject.
The questions are passage-based and are split across five subjects. The Consortium publishes approximate ranges rather than a fixed count: English Language about 22–26, Current Affairs including General Knowledge about 28–32, Legal Reasoning about 28–32, Logical Reasoning about 22–26, and Quantitative Techniques about 10–14. English, Legal Reasoning and Logical Reasoning use passages of about 450 words. Current Affairs passages are up to about 450 words. Quantitative Techniques uses short sets of facts, tables or other numerical information and Class 10 mathematics, including ratio and proportion, basic algebra, mensuration and statistical estimation. Legal Reasoning does not assume prior knowledge of law: the passage states the rule.
The Governing Body resolved on 18 July 2026 that CLAT 2027 would not change the syllabus or the pattern and sections of the UG paper. If marks are equal, the UG instructions break the tie by higher marks in the Legal Aptitude component, then higher age, then a computerised draw of lots. The syllabus calls that component Legal Reasoning.
