Preparation Guide for CLAT UG
CLAT 2020- How to Prepare?
Lakhs of students appear for CLAT every year, but only a few qualify. Right preparation strategy and correct understanding of the questions in the paper can help students ace the examination. Since the exam has been delayed, candidates have got more time to replenish their preparation. Here we will be discussing how the new pattern can pose a challenge to students, and how should a candidate prepare. The discussion is primarily for CLAT 2020 UG Program.
UG CLAT 2020 is designed to test a candidate’s necessary aptitude and skills for legal education rather than the prior knowledge. The paper will evaluate the candidate’s comprehension and reasoning skills.
English Language
This section carries 20% weightage in the exam. The paper will have passages of about 450 words each, which will be derived from contemporary or historically significant writings and fcitional or non-fictional sources. The level of the passages will be that a 12th standard student will be able to read it in 5-7 minutes. The passage will be followed by questions which will seek to asses candidate’s ability to comprehend, summarise the passage, and compare and contrast different view points set out in the passage. Thus, questions can take the form of:
- Comprehension or fact-based questions dervied from the passage.
- Summarisation questions where identifying main point of the passage will be the task.
- Compare and contrast questions that ask to compare two different view points delivered in the passage.
To prepare for such questions, read newspapers and magazines religiously along with books used by question setters. Read the editorial section of newspapers which will also help you in enhancing your GK and Current Affairs. Get indulged into regular group discussions. Read same passage and then discuss variant view points. Practice grammar from good 10th standard grammar textbooks. It is difficult to develop vocabulary at this point of time, but note down the words and meanings you come across while reading. Going through all practice papers and sample papers is a must for this section.

Current Affairs
The section carries roughly 25% weightage in the exam. The questions will not judge a candidate’s “Fact Knowledge” but will test indepth understanding of issues and events of significance. Questions may be from:
- In relation to the event mentioned in the passage.
- Recent events of importance.
- Historical information of significance.
The best way to prepare for this section is to have a long term habit of reading newspapers, periodicals, or may be good editorial pieces available online wherein various directions of a topic are deciphered. Another good way is to discuss latest events with your peers that will help you in analysing the topic better.
Legal Reasoning
Carrying rougly 25% weightage, the complexity of this section from this year is that the principle and facts will not be supplied separately. One needs to identify the principles set out in it. A passage may have more than one principle, and more than one set of incidents - in some instances, the questions may ask you to apply the same principle to different fact situations, whereas in others, each question may relate to a different principle and fact situation.
Since Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and English Language are somewhat related, preparation tipis for these sections remain similar. However, since this section format is different from that of previous years’, not attempting previous year papers will be a mistake.

Logical Reasoning
Having 20% weightage means primarily questions with Premises & Conclusions. Candidates are required to identify overall theme, point, or conclusion to the passage along with premises and conclusions.
Though the format is very different from previous years’, questions from logical games or syllogisms can be included. Get a good hold on previous year question papers along wit the preparation tips suggested for English Language and Legal Reasoning.
What is the difference between Deductive Reasoning and Inductive Reasoning?
| Deductive Reasoning | Inductive Reasoning | |
|---|---|---|
| Premises | Stated as facts or general principles. | Based on observations of specific cases. |
| Conclusion | Conclusion is more special than the information that premises provide. It is reached directly by applying logical rules to the premises. | Conclusion is more general than the information the premises provide. It is reached by generalizing the premises information. |
| Validity | If the premises are true, the conclusion must be true. | If the premises are true, the conclusion is probably true. |
| Usage | More difficult to use (mainly in logical problems). One needs facts which are definitely true. | Used often in everyday life (fast and easy). Evidence is used instead of proved facts. |
Quantitative Techniques
The section includes reading a passage or analysing a set of graphical information before attempting any question, it is important for a candidate to have pace while reading the passage and understanding what will the question require you to answer, along with quick calculation speed using short tricks.
The best way to prepare for this section is to go back to 10th &12th standard books, good practice material and religious practice of previous year questions.
