Passage-based awareness
Instead of isolated facts, you are likely to see short passages on recent events, followed by questions on the passage and the wider context. This favours candidates who follow news with understanding rather than memorising lists of events.
What to follow
- National and international news with a focus on governance, economy, environment and law
- Important court decisions and legislative changes in plain language
- Static GK on the Constitution, institutions and international organisations
Routine
Read a reliable daily source, make short notes weekly and take a short quiz twice a week. For static items, use static GK practice as a quick check. Recent events matter most, so concentrate your revision on the months before the exam. See the CLAT pattern guide for how the section fits the paper.
