CLAT 2018 EXAM ANALYSIS
CLAT unfortunately came with its predictable glitches, though this time they were far more severe. It touched a new low with poor management at test centres. Most students complained of getting less time as their timers were running and tests were not running.
That aside the paper was moderate level with most sections doable. English, Legal was easy for those who attended regular classes, Logical was moderate, GK current was all from GK Genius, however the static section may have been difficult for students who were not regular with classes. Maths was tough
Expected Cut off for top 5 colleges will be in the range of 138+
Overall cut off for any college in the first list will be 122+
