Law entrance exam 2011 to test current affairs
Bangalore: From 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, the
CLAT committee plans to emphasize more on certain sections
of the question paper.
To start with, it wants to emphasize on current affairs
rather than on general knowledge. We want to test students
knowledge on current affairs than just some standard facts
and figures, M P Singh, vice-chancellor, The West Bengal
National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata, said. Second, 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 like last years and only 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 basicClass X level. We want to judge the students analytical
ability, and not knowledge alone, Singh said.
