What is inside
Law aspirants often struggle to find genuine past papers, because the consortium that conducts CLAT no longer keeps most of them online. This page offers the two undergraduate papers that were openly released, for 2022 and 2020, both in English. They are scanned copies of the original booklets, so they look exactly like the paper a candidate would have held in the hall.
The two papers at a glance
| Year | Stage | Language | File size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | UG | English | 44 pages |
| 2020 | UG | English | Page count not stated |
Both were published with the final answer key of the consortium, according to the listing, but this resource carries only the question papers as PDFs. You will need to match your responses against the official key separately.
Who should attempt them
These papers fit anyone aiming for admission to a five-year law programme at a National Law University. Class 12 students in their last months of preparation gain the most, since a full paper shows how long passages feel under time pressure. Repeaters can use them to compare their level against two different years.
A sensible way to practise
- Sit each paper in one stretch with a timer, without pausing between sections.
- Mark questions you guessed so that you can review them even when the guess was right.
- Analyse the passage-heavy sections separately, noting where reading speed cost you marks.
- Repeat the older paper after a few weeks to see whether your approach has improved.
Fit with the entrance syllabus
The undergraduate test examines English comprehension, current affairs with general knowledge, legal reasoning, logical reasoning and quantitative techniques. Treat the two papers as a sample of that spread, and keep in mind that the format of the exam has been revised from year to year, so do not expect every pattern to repeat.
Reviewing your attempt
After every sitting, spend as much time on review as on the test itself. Sort mistakes into three bins: concept not known, careless slip, and time lost on a long passage. The first bin tells you what to study, the second tells you to slow down on options, and the third tells you which sections to attempt last. Keep a single sheet with these tallies for both papers, so that the pattern of your errors becomes visible across attempts.
Printed practice
For extra rounds of timed practice on paper, you can browse printed law entrance question banks and school-level reasoning workbooks in the Competer store.
