CLAT 2027 Paper Leak Claims: Telegram Channel Offers Question Paper for ₹10,000 Ahead of December 6 Exam

Proof of Paper Leak

Seeking to allay students' doubts about the claim, the group has also presented proof of the CLAT 2026 paper leak, which, according to them, was made available on December 04, exactly three days before the exam. It provides video proof of the leaked paper. While the video proof is available on the group, its authenticity has not been verified by Careers360. 

The channel claims that the CLAT 2026 paper leak serves as proof of their previous work involving CLAT UG question papers. It adds, the CLAT UG 2027 question paper has not been released yet, but the students who book their slots now will receive the question paper three days before the examination.

Telegram and NEET-UG 2026 Paper Leak

The claims made in the channel follow a familiar pattern seen in paper leaks in NEET-UG 2026 held on May 3 and various other exams. The NEET-UG paper leak led to widespread protests across the country; eventually, a re-examination was conducted on June 21, 2026 by the National Testing Agency. A temporary restriction was imposed on Telegram till June 22. The protests also led to the resignation of the then Minister of Education, Dharmendra Pradhan. 

Was CLAT 2026 Paper Leaked?

Soon after the CLAT 2026 was held, several Reddit and Telegram groups erupted with claims of the paper leak. Some Telegram users shared recorded videos and screenshots showing the paper leak. Eventually, a plea seeking a court-monitored investigation into the claims was filed before the Supreme Court on December 16. On January 7, a Bench comprising Justices P. S. Narasimha and Alok Aradhe declined judicial intervention, citing delay and noting that the examination process had already concluded.

What we could and could not verify

• The channel was created on October 10, 2025, and has roughly 1300 subscribers.

• The claims of a leak are unverified. 

• Careers360 has not verified the video presented as the proof of CLAT 2026 paper leak. The video appears to be marketing material, not concrete evidence.

• Claims were made last year about the CLAT 2026 paper leak with screenshots and video recordings circulated on social media.

• On December 16, a plea seeking court-monitored probe was filed in the Supreme Court.

• The Court declined to entertain the plea on January 7, 2026, citing delay in approaching the court. 

• On the last year’s paper leak claims, the Consortium of NLUs did not respond to viral screenshots and videos submitted by Careers360 over its official helpline. 

What explains the CLAT 2027 paper leak claims?

Telegram has a massive presence among students preparing for various competitive exams, including CLAT, NEET, JEE and others. The platform is used by students for discussion and sharing study materials. However, it is also infamous for scams, which become harder to spot due anonymous accounts and limited moderation.

Fake groups and channels are the most common scams on Telegram, and students are among the victims. The app allows older messges to be edited making a case for videos similar to the one presented in the CLAT paper channel as proof of last year’s paper leak.

The channel ‘CLAT Paper’ doesn’t link back to any website or admin. It does provide a user ID to another Telegram account; which again links to a chatting group with over 10,000 members. 

What aspirants should do

As the exam day approaches, the scam groups become more active. The leaks cannot be ruled out, as previously seen in NEET. Despite this, students should note that buying a leaked paper is itself an offence. 

Students are advised:

• Not to pay any amount to any group/individual claiming to provide a leaked CLAT 2027 paper 

• Do not share any personal information, including payment details, in groups or channels that offer the paper

• Report the channel to Telegram and to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in).

• Write to the CLAT Consortium and follow the official website for notices
