What Is a Good CLAT 2027 Mock Test Score? What the First Official Mock Reveals About the Actual Exam
The first CLAT 2027 mock test was held on November 10. Although the question paper was solely for practice and illustration, it offered important clues about what the upcoming CLAT 2027 will look like. The five sections with 120 questions in the mock test were in line with the official CLAT question papers. However, upon comparison with previous years' question papers, the CLAT 2027 mock test appears much easier. Some of the passages were reportedly taken from previous years' question papers.
CLAT 2026 Official Question Paper vs 2027 Mock Test 1: Structure
Section | Official 2026 (Set A) | Mock |
English | 24 questions, 5 passages, long and literary | 25 questions, 5 passages |
GK / Current Affairs | 28 | 30 |
Legal Reasoning | 30 | 30 |
Logical Reasoning | 26 | 25 |
Quant | 12 | 10 |

CLAT 2027 mock test by NLU Consortium: Section-wise analysis
The English section was closest to the actual test. The two passages on speeches and the Kalimpong memoir were close enough to last year's passages. The remaining three passages were short, generic op-eds where nearly every answer was given in the content.
The GK and current affairs section was far from testing events of the last 3-4 months. Passages on the Election Commission, UPI, Ramsar, fundamental duties and President Murmu were either heavily static, or the answers were given within the passages.
In contrast, the actual CLAT 2026 paper required some prior knowledge of events. The topics asked in this section last year included Operation Sindoor, the AI-171 crash, the SCO Tianjin summit, the new GST slabs, the H-1B and tariff news, and Divya Deshmukh’s World Cup win. Only a quarter of the questions could be answered from the passages.
On the legal reasoning section, the official CLAT paper 2026 was quite lengthy, based on judgments and editorials. They required fast reading and some prior knowledge. The legal reasoning in the CLAT mock test was crisp and principle-fact based (mandamus, negligence, contract, defamation, consumer law, private defence).
Logical reasoning stood out as the biggest mismatch. The previous year's CLAT question paper was based on puzzles: a letter-manipulation puzzle, a detective set, blood-relation coding and round scheduling.
This logical reasoning section of the CLAT 2027 mock test was entirely based on argumentative passages aimed at testing critical thinking and reading. It doesn’t train candidates for what was asked in CLAT 2026. This is also a hint toward what might change in the CLAT 2027 question paper.
The CLAT maths section was moderately harder last year when compared to the official mock test. Both papers were based on two data sets aimed at testing percentage and ratio questions.
CLAT 2027 mock score vs actual cut-offs
All sections of the mock test were easier than the actual test. Last year, the top 5-6 NLUs closed general category admission at around AIR 500, which roughly translates to 95 marks. At 90 marks, the students were getting an approximate rank of AIR 1200, which is decent for securing a tier 2 NLU.
With the mock test turning out to be much easier, students aiming for tier 1 NLUs should secure 110+ marks. This would be roughly equivalent to 95 marks in the actual test. Similarly, 100 marks in the mock test means roughly equivalent to securing a tier 2 NLU with a rank between AIR 1000-1500.
What is a good CLAT 2027 mock score
Section | Mock max | Likely mock score |
English | 25 | 21–23 |
GK | 30 | 24–27 |
Legal | 30 | 26–28 |
Logical | 25 | 21–23 |
Quant | 10 | 8–10 |
Total | 120 | About 100–111 before negative marking |
The second mock test for CLAT 2027 will be conducted on November 20. While students should prepare for it to become familiar with the actual testing environment, solving the actual CLAT previous year question papers and mock tests prepared by different institutes can be more beneficial, given their emphasis on matching the difficulty level.
