Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) was scheduled for 26th May 2019 at 3.00 PM to 5.00 PM. This year, unlike previous years, CLAT was a Pen and Paper based exam which was conducted successfully without any glitches.
CLAT Colleges: CLAT is an all India test conducted every year to select students for 21 National Law Universities in India, other than National Law University-Delhi, which has its own process to select the students through an exam called AILET. CLAT score is also accepted by other law schools including NMIMS- Mumbai, UPES-Dehradun, and Institute of Law, Nirma University-Ahmedabad, and many more, as a part of selecting candidates for their 5-year LL.B. program.
Being a leader for CLAT Coaching in Delhi, Success Mantra (GTB Nagar) experts have brought you Exam analysis as well as Expected cutoffs:-
Except for Legal Aptitude, rest of the 4 sections were easy in comparison to last 2 CLAT papers. General Knowledge, Reasoning & English sections were very easy.

- Legal Aptitude: As per the pattern of Success Mantra (GTB Nagar) Mocks, all 50 questions were based on Legal Reasoning which made this section time-consuming. Reading Principles would have been the only pain point for a student but our students might have found it just an another Mock Paper. Our last 5-6 Mocks consisted of all 50 Questions of this section as Legal Reasoning.

- General Knowledge: One of the easiest section of this paper. Most of the questions were asked from Current Affairs, in between the months of September 2018 to April 2019. Facts were very easy and 40 score was easily doable if one would have studied our Fortnightly CA Compendium and taken the all 15 Mocks which were conducted Offline.
Topics covered under this section were Current Affairs of national & international importance, Science & Technology, Economy, Sports, Awards, International Organizations, Days, Books & Authors, Polity, History (Only 1 Question), and Appointments.
42 + Attempts would be a very good attempt.
