CLAT PG Company Law Exam Pattern and Marks Distribution 2026
CLAT PG 2026 has 120 MCQs in 2 hours, 1 mark each, 0.25 negative marking - no dedicated Company Law section.
- Company Law share: 10 to 15 questions, scenario-based, applying Companies Act provisions to fact patterns

CLAT PG Company Law Sample Papers with Companies Act 2013 Focus - Why 2022 Onwards Papers Matter Most
Papers from 2022 onwards reflect the Companies Act 2013 in its current amended form and IBC 2016 displacement of winding-up provisions. Papers before 2019 test some provisions that were later amended - use them for extra volume only.
- Start with 2024 and 2023 - current style with IBC 2016 crossover questions
- Section 166 director duties and Sections 241-242 oppression appear in almost every paper since 2019
- Winding up after 2018 requires reading the Companies Act and IBC 2016 together
CLAT PG Company Law Chapter Wise Weightage - High Scoring Topics to Focus in Sample Papers
Directors and Winding Up are the two highest-yield chapters. Dividend and Meetings carry fewer questions but are fast marks.
| Chapter / Topic | Questions | Difficulty | What to Watch For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company Formation and Incorporation | 1-2 | Easy-Moderate | Section 7, deemed incorporation, OPC rules |
| Memorandum and Articles of Association | 1-2 | Moderate | Indoor management, constructive notice, alteration |
| Share Capital and Debentures | 2-3 | Moderate | Transfer vs transmission, share types, debenture trustee |
| Directors - Appointment and Disqualification | 1-2 | Moderate | Section 149, DIN, Section 164 grounds |
| Directors - Powers, Duties and Liabilities | 2-3 | Moderate-Hard | Section 166 duties, Section 184 disclosure |
| Company Meetings and Resolutions | 1-2 | Easy-Moderate | AGM vs EGM, resolution types, quorum |
| Dividend and Accounts | 1-2 | Easy | Section 123 conditions, reserve transfer rules |
| Winding Up and Insolvency | 2-3 | Moderate | Voluntary vs compulsory, IBC 2016 displacement |
| NCLT and NCLAT Jurisdiction | 1-2 | Moderate | Sections 241-242, NCLAT appeal timeline |
| Insider Trading and SEBI | 1-2 | Hard | SEBI (PIT) Regulations 2015, UPSI definition |
Do not skip Dividend and Meetings - they are the fastest 1 to 2 marks in the paper once you know Section 123 and the AGM quorum rules.

How to Use CLAT PG Company Law Sample Papers to Clear in First Attempt
Solve one paper before opening the Act. Every missed question shows exactly which section to read next.
- Sort wrong answers: wrong section chosen, or right section but wrong application to the fact pattern.
- For wrong-section errors: read that section and the two adjacent ones to understand the structure.
- For wrong-application errors: write the condition in your own words, then reapply it.
- Track Company Law accuracy per paper. Target 10 out of 12 before exam day.
- In the last two weeks, stop new papers and reread only sections behind repeated mistakes.
How to Tab Bare Acts for CLAT PG Company Law - The Skill Most Students Ignore
CLAT PG is open-book. Tab the Companies Act by Chapter, not section number - 470 sections is too slow to navigate by number under exam pressure.
- Tab Chapter IV (Share Capital), Chapter XI (Directors), Chapter XVI (Oppression), and Chapter XX (Winding Up) - the four highest-yield Chapters.
- Within Directors, sub-tab Section 149, Section 164, and Section 166 in three different colors.
- Tab IBC 2016 Sections 7, 9, and 10 for winding-up and insolvency overlap.
- Tab SEBI (PIT) Regulations 2015 Regulation 2(1)(n) - the UPSI definition appears behind almost every insider trading question.
- Use sticky-flag tabs only - writing inside the Act can disqualify you.
