The over all emphasis of the Entrance Exams is to test the Aptitude of an individual for the required purpose. C.L.A.T. as an entrance test is no different from the rest in the sense that it challenges one against the time and thus sorts out a few lucky 1100 seats for the prestigious National Law Universities.
However when it comes to the entrance test for the National Law University Delhi Exam, "TIME" plays a very very crucial role along with certain other factors. Thus one should be astute and very very acurate while solving the exam paper.
Let me briefly discuss the over all breakage of the Question Paper both for CLAT and for the NLU - D entrance exam

C.L.A.T.

Has been an easy nut to crack this year in 2009 with many questions coming from the Universals Guide to L.L.B. However one can expect tricky questions this year as NLIU Bhopal gets the oppurtunity to set the Examination Paper this year. However the paper will be a piece of cake for those who are well prepared.

Legal Reasoning & Aptitude: 45 Marks.

Logical Reasoning {Analytical & Critical} : 45 Marks

General Knowledge and Current Affairs: 50 Marks

English: 40 Marks

Mathematics: 20 Marks

Further Demarcation { The above demarcation is made keeping in view the patterns followed by various NLU's ; mainly NLSIU, NALSAR, NUJS & NLIU Bhopal Entrance Test Papers for the past 10 Years tentatively, depending on their year of establishment. And the 2 Subsequent C.L.A.T. Examinations conducted for 2008 and 2009 respectively. }
