CLAT 2021 EXAM ANALYSIS
- CLAT EXAM DATE: 23rd July 2021
- No. of Questions: 150
- Time: 120 minutes
- – 0.25 Negative Marking
- Conducted as Pen Paper Test, at various centers.
The passage-based pattern is not new anymore. Pen-Paper format would have been a respite in these digital times. In spite of prior knowledge of the passage-based format, students found it lengthy/tricky to navigate on the D day. Something we at ALP predicted and emphasized multiple times. Cutoffs could be higher than CLAT 2020 as the pattern is repeated and paper is easier.
