What is CLAT?
CLAT is the Common Law Admission Test, conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate law programmes at participating national law universities. Many other institutions also use CLAT scores for admission.
How many questions are there and how long is the exam?
The UG paper has 120 multiple-choice questions to be answered in two hours. See our CLAT exam guide for the full pattern.
Is there negative marking?
Yes. Each correct answer earns one mark and each wrong answer costs 0.25 marks. Unanswered questions carry no penalty. Our homepage score calculator applies this scheme for you.
Do I need to know law to attempt Legal Reasoning?
No. The section tests your ability to apply the principles given in a passage to new facts. Some familiarity with legal concepts helps you read faster, but the answers come from the passage.
When should I start preparing?
Many aspirants begin in Class 11 so they can build reading habits and general awareness gradually. A focused plan of six to nine months is also workable if you practise consistently and take regular mock tests.
Are the mock tests on this portal free?
Our free mock tests are open to everyone. Some advanced test series may be offered later as part of LawFoyer's paid courses; they will be clearly marked.
Is LawFoyer CLAT connected to the Consortium of NLUs?
No. LawFoyer CLAT is an independent preparation resource. For official dates, notifications, admit cards and results, always refer to the Consortium of National Law Universities.
