CLAT Students' Reaction and Paper Analysis (2025)

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.

Aditya felt that some of the sections especially logical reasoning section was easy to moderate however it has some little confusing passages. Since the length of the passages was not that long he was able to solve it in less time. 

Vani shared that since the paper was tough as per her preparation, there is a possibility that the CLAT Cutoff will go high this year.  Some of the passages in the General Knowledge section have been updated, although there was at least one straightforward passage, the section was still considered moderately difficult overall.

Anika Shankar shared that the section was comparatively easier with short passages on different laws like the Juvenile Justice Act, Void and Voidable Marriage, etc. With all the questions coming from the current legal knowledge, the section was easy. She will also be appearing for AILET Exam next Sunday.
