CLAT 2026 Question Paper PDF

Each set is a separate 40-page PDF. Choose a booklet and retain its set label throughout the attempt and answer review. A set name is part of the key mapping, not just a choice of download link.

The paper belongs to the CLAT 2026 admission cycle. It is a previous-year resource for a current CLAT 2027 aspirant, not the as-yet-unheld 2027 question paper.

CLAT 2026 Section-wise Questions

The Set A contents give English questions 1–24, Current Affairs and General Knowledge 25–52, Legal Reasoning 53–82, Logical Reasoning 83–108 and Quantitative Techniques 109–120. This makes the split 24, 28, 30, 26 and 12.

The Legal and Logical split differs from the 2024 and 2025 papers, which had 32 and 24 respectively. The overall 120-question total stayed the same. Memorising a previous paper’s exact split would miss this change.

CLAT 2026 Answer Key and Scoring

The final UG key retained the provisional key released on 10 December 2025 without further changes. One question was withdrawn, leaving an evaluated maximum of 119. The result notification reported a highest UG score of 112.75.

Do not confuse the printed paper count with the final evaluated total. Keep all 120 questions when describing the booklet, but use the final key’s retained set when reconstructing the result. The PG correction process is separate and does not change the UG paper into a PG resource.

A full answer review requires the key for the same set. The paper files below are question booklets, not complete worked explanations; the title of a download should not be taken as proof that it includes solutions.

How to Practise with the 2026 Paper

Use the 120-question booklet for a two-hour full-paper attempt. Record a response before moving on and keep the answer key closed. If you stop the timer or look up an answer, mark that attempt as practice rather than comparing it directly with an uninterrupted mock.

After the attempt, separate time lost to reading from errors in interpreting the options. The 26-question Logical Reasoning block deserves its own review; carrying forward a 24-question tracking sheet from 2025 would omit two questions.

In the last 12 quantitative questions, record the data set and the operation required before calculating. In Legal Reasoning, check whether the chosen option follows the supplied rule or merely sounds legally familiar. These notes help identify what to revise before the next recent paper.

CLAT 2026 Paper vs the Current Format

The current published format remains 120 questions with approximate subject ranges. The 2026 paper supplies a recent actual distribution, but it does not fix the exact number in each section for CLAT 2027.

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.
