There certainly were ambiguity in certain questions. With lengthy passages, RC was moderately easy; and needed around 25-27 minutes to attempt and complete the entire section. There were altogether six passages, with 5 questions each. There were three questions based and tones and another three on figures of speech. A good attempt would be somewhere around 25-26 questions, with a score of 21-22.
The broad feedback from the student is: “Weird and Tough”. We agree! While students tortured themselves throughout the year reading newspapers and editorials, the General Knowledge section was not as expected. Let's just call it this year's surprise from CLAT. Most questions were from year 2020 and 2021. There were altogether 7 passages with 5 questions each. Overall, the section was moderately difficult. A score of 25+, with an ideal attempt of 30–31, could be considered good.
This is the section we would call “Easy to Moderate”. Students who disagree would be the ones who did not exactly focus on the primary rule of learning, i.e., ‘Understand the concept’. All the passages were based on some of the very basic concepts of law; With a total of 40 questions from 8 passages, the section could be regarded as the easy to moderate one this year. A score of 28-30 with an ideal attempt of 34-35 questions could be regarded as a good score. Due to the length of the section, it needed somewhere around 35-37 minutes to complete.
Here, time management is always the key. Short passages, tricky questions-the feature of this section in CLAT 2022. Compared to last year, this section was tougher this time around. a total of 30 questions from 6 passages, a score of 16-18 with an ideal attempt of 22-25 questions could be considered good; provided, one was able to allot 30 minutes to this section.
Surprise! No errors this time. Easy section. There were altogether 3 sets with 15 questions in total. Any student who would have avoided skipping this section entirely, and attempted it, would easily score somewhere around 8–10 marks.
