Law Entrance Exam

The best time is right now (mid-2026), giving candidates a comfortable 12 to 18 months to build vocabulary, improve tracking habits, and increase their reading speed required to crack the CLAT exam.

No. Reading Comprehension holds around 20% of CLAT directly, and since legal, logical, and GK sections are also passage-based, strong comprehension is mandatory to crack CLAT exam.

CLAT does not share a fixed number of fill in the blanks questions. The UG exam is mostly passage-based. This skill is tested in a hidden way within English reading. It is tested directly in exams like AILET.

These questions can include vocabulary, grammar, connectors, word pairs, sentence completion and cloze passages. They test how well a candidate reads context and uses language rules correctly.

Practising word pairs and connector questions daily builds accuracy. Aspirants should read the full sentence for meaning before picking an answer. Checking common mistakes and practising cloze passages often also helps speed and confidence.

Aspirants should start this practice early. It works well along with reading and vocabulary preparation. Start around 6 to 8 months before the exam. This gives enough time to learn word pairs, connectors and cloze questions through regular practice.

CLAT's current pattern does not test fill in the blanks on its own. But this skill still helps with the English reading section. Skipping this practice is not a good idea. AILET tests it directly. It also builds strong vocabulary and grammar skills.

While CLAT's current UG pattern does not ask criminal law as a separate section, the legal section involvs support passage-based Legal Reasoning questions. Skipping it entirely is not advisable.

CLAT does not share a fixed number of questions for this topic. It is tested through passages in Current Affairs and General Knowledge. Recent papers have had at least one such passage every year.
