Common law entrance 11 to test current affairs
NOT JUST BOOKISH KNOWLEDGE
Bangalore: Come next year, aspiring legal eagles will
be tested on their aptitude and reasoning. With the Common
Law Admission Test (CLAT) set to be held on May 15, 2011,
the CLAT committee plans to emphasize more on certain
sections of the question paper.
To start with, the committee which met last week aims
to stress on current affairs rather than on general knowledge.
We want to test student’s knowledge on current affairs
than just on some standard facts and figures, M P Singh,
vice-chancellor, The West Bengal National University of
Juridical Sciences, Kolkata, told TOI.
Secondly, he said, there might be exclusion of legal knowledge
as sections like legal aptitude, critical and logical
reasoning will be given prominence. However, the question
paper components will remain similar to that of last year,
except that certain sections will be stressed upon.
The components are: English, general knowledge, legal
law, logical reasoning and Maths. Instead of legal law,
focus will be on legal aptitude. Maths will be basic Class
X level. We want to judge the student’s analytical
ability and not knowledge alone, Singh said.
