CLAT 2022 Question Paper PDF

The master booklet runs to 44 PDF pages and is marked M. The cover gives 150 questions, 150 marks and a 120-minute duration. The answer key is a separate one-page file, so it can be kept closed during an attempt.

PDF pages and printed page numbers are not interchangeable: covers and instruction pages appear before the questions. Use the section and question number when recording an error instead of relying only on the PDF viewer’s page counter.

CLAT 2022 Section-wise Questions

The largest section is Legal Reasoning with 40 questions. General Knowledge has 35, English and Logical Reasoning 30 each, and Quantitative Techniques 15. The contents page is a quicker way to locate a section than scrolling through all 44 pages.

The English section begins with an extract about public speaking. The paper also includes current-affairs questions around ISRO and a quantitative set involving college enrolment. These are examples of the actual paper’s contexts, not a forecast of future topics.

CLAT 2022 Answer Key and Scoring

CLAT 2022 Final UG answer key

The linked PDF is headed “CLAT 2022 FINAL ANSWER KEY – U.G.”. Match the master-paper sequence before checking the options. Keeping the UG label matters because the postgraduate test covers law subjects and is a different paper.

Award one mark for a correct answer, deduct 0.25 for a wrong answer and give zero for an unanswered question. For example, 90 correct, 40 wrong and 20 blank responses produce 80 marks. The 130 attempted questions do not mean a score of 130.

An option key is enough to calculate an attempt score, but not enough to diagnose every mistake. For each wrong answer, return to the passage or numerical information and identify which part of the reasoning changed the result.

How to Practise with the 2022 Paper

The college-enrolment quantitative questions are useful for checking percentage bases. “Girls as a share of all students” and “boys as a share of a course” have different denominators. Write the total for the relevant group before converting a percentage into a count.

In the public-speaking extract, separate the author’s position from an example used to explain it. An option can repeat familiar words from the passage and still describe only the example rather than the main point.

For General Knowledge, separate information supplied in the extract from facts that had to be known independently. A wrong answer about a historical event is a knowledge gap; a wrong answer already stated in the extract is a reading error. They need different revision.

CLAT 2022 Paper vs the Current Format

The 150-question paper is longer than the current 120-question format. Its questions remain useful for passage and data practice, but its section totals should not be used as the current blueprint.

The CLAT previous-year paper archive includes other years for comparison. Choose the year and programme first; a postgraduate law paper is not an interchangeable UG practice test.
