How Can I Use the CLAT Answer Key to Find My Score?

The official CLAT 2026 Answer Key PDF for your exam questions can be found at a consortium of NLUs.

• After filling out the response sheet, check your work against the answer key to make sure you got each question right.
• Consistently use the CLAT Score Report:
• For every right response, award yourself one point.
• Each wrong answer will result in a deduction of 0.25 points.
• For questions that do not have answers, award no points.

 Afterward, please calculate your total scores. The following formula can be used to accomplish this: The CLAT score is equal to the product of the number of correct answers and the percentage of incorrect answers, divided by 1.

As an example, what if you got 100 questions right and 20 wrong?

Yes, 100 multiplied by 1 equals 100 points perfectly.

To the contrary, 20 times 0.25 is 5 marks.

The final score is 95 out of 100.
