Yuvaan Shami, another CLAT UG candidate, felt that the exam was quite easy overall. He found the English section to be the easiest, while Logical Reasoning was the section he struggled with. The majority of the questions came from Legal Reasoning topics.

As per Ria, who appeared for CLAT UG Exam the exam was manageable, especially for those who were well-prepared and had practiced across all sections. As always, staying calm and focused on each section seemed to be key for a successful attempt. Legal Reasoning was however, a bit more challenging due to its length and depth of the questions, but not impossible for well-prepared candidates.
