The CLAT 2024 exam analysis indicates that the paper's overall difficulty level was relatively easy, coupled with a moderate length. In contrast to its predecessors, this year's paper is deemed easier. Here's a detailed breakdown of each section:

Reading Comprehension:

Within the English section, 24 questions were presented across four passages, each containing six questions. The majority of questions were straightforward and contextually grounded. A solid attempt would encompass 20-23 questions, with a potential score ranging from 20 to 21.

General Knowledge:

Comprising 28 questions from five passages, this section explored anticipated topics like Chandrayaan-3, G-20, the Israel-Hamas conflict, among others. Static topics such as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the Constitution were also covered. The section was perceived as moderately peculiar. A commendable attempt involves answering 25-26 questions, leading to a probable score of 23-25.

Legal Reasoning:

Featuring five passages centered around recent legal developments, this section touched upon subjects like the Data Protection Act, Juvenile Justice, Defamation, and Inheritance. Overall, the section was labeled as "easy." An advisable attempt is within the range of 28-30 questions, resulting in a potential score of 25-26.

Logical Reasoning:

The 24 questions in this section, drawn from four passages, leaned more towards the conceptual rather than the contextual. Questions were generally straightforward, with a focus on Critical Reasoning. However, the presence of confusing options added a layer of complexity.

Quantitative Aptitude:

Contrary to expectations, this section brought about a shift in students' sentiments. While calculations proved somewhat lengthy, they were easy, covering topics like ratio and proportion, percentage, etc. Two sets with a total of 12 questions were presented. Overall an easy section.

In summary, the paper's perceived ease may lead to higher cutoffs. The top 3 NLUs are anticipated to have cutoffs around 88-90, while mid-level NLUs may see cutoffs in the range of 75-78.
