How toppers play this section

The largest section alongside Legal Reasoning. Passages are drawn from the last 12 months of news; questions test both the passage and the static context around it (which body, which article, which past event). You cannot cram this in a week — build a daily reading + note habit across polity, economy, international affairs, science, and awards, and revise in monthly loops.

Chapters

Built to the CLAT blueprint — notes, shortcuts, solved PYQ-style examples and practice in every chapter.

1How CLAT Tests Current AffairsCLAT's Current Affairs section is the largest block alongside Legal Reasoning — 28–32 questions off news-based passages. It rewards a year-long reading habit, not last-week cramming. This chapter shows exactly how the section is set, how each passage links to static knowledge, and how to build the habit that carries it.⏱ 18 min read
