Salient Features | All questions are now comprehension-based. In other words, multiple passages are provided in the question paper, and questions are linked to a passage. This pattern was introduced in late 2019, and CLAT 2020 was the first paper based on this pattern. | Questions are most often not linked to passages. However, there are some questions that are grouped, and have to be answered based on a common instruction/ passage. |
