NLSIU has taken a bold step by deviating from the traditional exam pattern of CLAT.
The university will conduct an online home-based test that students can give from the comfort of their homes and feel safe in this COVID-19 pandemic time.
The paper for undergraduate students will consist of 40 questions, which is way less in comparison to that of CLAT 2024 which consists of 150 questions.
The NLAT PG paper will also comprise 30 questions instead of the 120 questions of CLAT 2024.
The entire exam duration will be 45 minutes. The most important difference between the two papers is the marking scheme. Whereas CLAT consists of questions of 1 mark each with a negative marking of 0.25 for every wrong answer, and no marks deduction for unanswered questions, NLAT on the other hand carries questions of 2 marks with a negative marking of 0.50 for every wrong answer and 0.25 for every unattempted question. Thus, students are advised to attempt all questions in NLAT 2020 with accuracy. Check NLAT 2024 Syllabus here
