Current affairs form the backbone of CLAT's General Knowledge section. Since 2020, every GK question on CLAT is passage-based — you are given a 300-450 word passage about a recent event and asked comprehension-style questions. However, students with strong current affairs knowledge read these passages 2-3x faster and answer with greater accuracy, because they already have the context the passage assumes.
This quiz covers 30 questions across six categories: Legal and Judicial developments, Politics and Governance, International Affairs, Economy, Science and Environment, and Sports. Select an option, then reveal the answer and explanation. Filter by category to focus on your weak areas.

SportsCurrent affairs preparation for CLAT is fundamentally different from competitive exams like UPSC or banking. CLAT tests comprehension of current events, not memorisation of dates and names. Here is a focused approach that works.
Supreme Court judgments, new legislation, and legal reforms are the highest-yield current affairs topics for CLAT. They appear both in the GK section and as context in Legal Reasoning passages. Follow Supreme Court Observer and LiveLaw alongside your daily newspaper.
The Hindu or Indian Express — pick one and read it consistently. Focus on editorials, national affairs, and the international page. 30 minutes daily for 12 months builds a knowledge base that no last-minute cramming can replicate.
Do not memorise events in isolation. Connect them: the Electoral Bond judgment relates to RTI and political funding; BRICS expansion connects to de-dollarisation and geopolitics. CLAT passages test whether you understand these connections.
At the end of each month, review the 15-20 most significant events. Write one line about each: what happened, why it matters. This monthly consolidation prevents the "I read it but forgot it" problem that plagues most aspirants.
Knowing facts is necessary but not sufficient. You must practice extracting answers from passages under timed conditions. Our mock tests replicate the exact CLAT GK format — passage followed by 4-6 comprehension questions.
CLAT does not have a dedicated "current affairs" section. Current affairs questions fall within the General Knowledge section, which carries 28-32 marks. Most GK passages are based on recent events from the preceding 12-18 months, making current affairs preparation essential for this section.
Focus on events from January 2025 to the date of your exam (expected December 2026). CLAT typically draws from events that occurred 6-18 months before the exam. However, landmark events from earlier periods (major court judgments, new legislation, international agreements) are also fair game.
Since CLAT 2020, all GK questions including current affairs are passage-based. You receive a 300-450 word passage about a recent event and answer 4-6 comprehension questions. This means you need background knowledge to read the passage quickly, but the answer is always derivable from the passage text.
The Hindu and Indian Express are the most recommended dailies for CLAT preparation. Focus on the editorial page, national affairs, international relations, and economy sections. For legal current affairs, follow Supreme Court Observer and LiveLaw. Our monthly current affairs digest compiles the most CLAT-relevant events.
Legal and judicial developments (Supreme Court judgments, new legislation) are the highest-priority category because they overlap with legal reasoning. Political and governance events, international relations, and economic policy follow closely. Sports and awards are lower priority but still appear occasionally.
This quiz is updated monthly with new questions covering the most significant events from the preceding month. Each update adds questions and retires older ones to keep the total manageable while ensuring comprehensive coverage of CLAT-relevant current affairs.
Current affairs is one component of a comprehensive CLAT preparation strategy. Build your static GK base, practice all five sections, and take full-length mock tests to develop exam-day stamina and time management.
Our Complete Programme includes monthly current affairs digests, topic-wise quizzes updated every month, daily newspaper analysis sessions, and full-length mock tests with GK sections that mirror the CLAT pattern.
