Official files from the Consortium of NLUs

At a glance
| Exam date | 3 December 2023 |
| UG questions | 120 |
| Marking | +1 for a correct answer, minus 0.25 for a wrong answer, nothing for a blank |
| Duration | 2 hours |
| Marks adjustment | Four sets (A to D). One English Language question and one Legal Reasoning question were withdrawn, so UG was evaluated out of 118 marks |
First year of the 120-question format
CLAT 2024 cut the UG paper from 150 to 120 questions in the same 2 hours, and the section ranges shrank accordingly. English Language moved to 22 to 26 questions, Current Affairs including GK to 28 to 32, Legal Reasoning to 28 to 32, Logical Reasoning to 22 to 26 and Quantitative Techniques to 10 to 14. That is about a minute per question, against 48 seconds in the 150-question years.
What changed after objections
After the Oversight Committee reviewed candidate objections, the Executive Council withdrew one English Language and one Legal Reasoning question, so UG evaluation was out of 118 marks. The notification also modified the answer to one Legal Reasoning question. The question numbers are given for Sets A, B, C and D separately, so look up the number for the set you are scoring.
Using it
Treat 2024 as the baseline for the current format. Your first full attempt should be uncorrected and timed; only then read the notification and rescore.
