CLAT 2022 paper analysis: Lengthy paper, overall easy to moderate paper
India Today
Here is the comprehensive analysis of CLAT 2022 by experts.
CLAT 2022 was conducted successfully on June 19. The paper was pretty lengthy and needed a lot of concentration and faster reading skills from the students.
There were hardly any surprises overall. However, the length of passages varied greatly from section to section and question to question, giving slight relaxation in the form of smaller passages in sections like legal reasoning, while compensating for that with longer passages, some going more than 600 words, in the English Section.
Sticking to its pattern, CLAT had 30 questions in English Language, 35 questions in Current Affairs and General Knowledge, 40 Questions in Legal Reasoning, 30 questions in Logical Reasoning and 15 questions in Quantitative Techniques. Thus, as expected, legal had the maximum weight and, of course, quants had the least weight.
Length was one factor that students struggled with to finish the paper. However, the overall difficulty level could be said to be easy to moderate.
Most of the passages in all the sections were from contemporary issues, which was a relief in terms of predictability and familiarity, so issues like Covid-19, Russian Ukraine Crisis, Cryptocurrency, CSR were something we had discussed in detail, so it was easy to comprehend.
Starting with the legal section, which was easy to moderate, CLAT slightly deviated from its love for sections like Torts and Criminal law, but the Constitution was given its due place in three questions and International law and family law was a delight to see. Concepts like Monism and Dualism, which are usually an LLM level topic, were seen and, as always, the Contract had its spot on one question.
Three passages from the Constitution, including the right to religion, the Writ of the Mandamus and Freedom of movement, are not so difficult to comprehend as our students were repeatedly told that Fundamental rights is the most important topic under the Constitution.
