PG
Overall- The CLAT PG 2020 paper was the first of its kind after the CLAT consortium declared the vast changes in the pattern of the paper. The paper was lengthy and even though it consisted of only 120 questions, it was quite difficult to complete the same within the allotted time. The paper consisted of passages from recent judgements ( Prashant Bhushan judgment, Right to privacy judgement etc), criminal law, jurisprudence and international law. The standard of the questions was a bit difficult.
Questions were asked on- Reservation in promotions for the disabled persons (Constitutional Principles, case laws and Questions based on Jurisprudence), Prashant Bhushan Contempt Case, Right to Privacy case, Anuradha Bhasin Case ( Internet Restrictions in J&K) and other important case laws.
The comprehensions were mostly from some landmark case and the questions which followed were on applicability, principles, and the jurisprudential aspect.
Landmark cases of International law were also asked in the examination. Principles of Criminal Law and Constitutional Law were also there in the paper.
