The Current Affairs and General Knowledge section is a critical part of the CLAT 2026 exam. The GK section in CLAT 2026 makes up about 25% of the exam with 28-32 questions. This section tests not only candidates’ factual knowledge but also their analytical ability to interpret and connect current developments with relevant background knowledge. The questions are passage-based, requiring a thorough understanding of national and international events, government policies, economic updates, sports achievements, and scientific advancements from the past 12 to 18 months.
