Overall, the GK portion of CLAT 2021 was moderately easy. In comparison to 2020 where the pattern for GK had changed, this time students were prepared for the type of passages to come. Further, last year the questions were technical in nature and involved various numbers which would have been difficult to memorise.

The Logical Reasoning section consisted of 6 Passages with 5 questions each. The passages were on the following topics:
Name of the Topic | Number of Questions |

Quantitative Techniques:
The paper did not involve any complicated questions or higher - level discussions. They were based largely on percentages and a basic understanding of percentages would have been enough to solve the problems, as long as adequate conceptual clarity existed on the same. The profit and loss based set too would have been adequately solved with a fundamental understanding of profit and loss. A careful approach would ensure full marks there. The questions were based on the following topics:
Name of the Topic | Number of Questions |
Percentages | 10 |
Profit and Loss | 5 |
