CLAT Exam Pattern & Marking
CLAT UG is a 2-hour offline (OMR) test of 120 MCQs across English, Current Affairs & GK, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning and Quantitative Techniques. From 2024 the paper is 120 marks (+1 correct, −0.25 wrong, no penalty for unattempted). It is conducted by the Consortium of NLUs for admission to 24+ NLUs.
How CLAT Rank Is Calculated from Marks
In CLAT, your All India Rank is decided by your marks relative to everyone else, so the marks needed for a given rank move every year with paper difficulty. At the top of the scale a few extra marks can be worth thousands of ranks, while lower down the curve flattens. Use the year-wise tables below to compare your target marks against the closest matching cycle rather than a single fixed chart.
CLAT Marks vs Rank — Last 6 Years
Here is the year-wise CLAT trend so you can compare your target against the closest recent cycle. CLAT max marks changed: 150 (2020–2023) then 120 from CLAT 2024 onward, so marks are not comparable across that boundary without the per-year max. Topper marks confirm the scale (e.g. 116.75/150 in 2023, 108/120 in 2024). Marking: +1 correct, −0.25 wrong. Rank compression at the top is severe — a 1–2 mark gap can shift 40–100 ranks. All rows are All India Rank (General).

How to Improve Your CLAT Rank
CLAT Preparation Tips
- Build a daily newspaper and current-affairs habit — Current Affairs & GK plus comprehension passages drive a large share of the 120 marks.
- Practise fast, accurate reading — every section is passage-based, so reading speed decides how many questions you finish.
- Drill legal-reasoning principle-application questions — the highest-weight section, rewarding applying a given rule.
- Strengthen basic quantitative techniques (arithmetic, DI from passages) — small but easy to score.
- Take full 2-hour OMR mocks and skip low-confidence questions to manage negative marking.
