It is based on reading comprehension passages. Students are given passages of around 450 words and asked to answer questions based on the meaning, structure, tone, argument, and context of the passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Questions in this section test how well a student can read, understand, interpret, and apply information from a passage. Vocabulary is also tested in context, which means students must understand the meaning of a word or phrase as used in that specific passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The section includes the following types of questions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Main idea of the passage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Author\u2019s tone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Author\u2019s viewpoint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meaning of words in context<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inference-based questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Summary-based questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Title-based questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fact-based questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Para completion questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Para summary questions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grammar usage in context<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Literary device identification<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CLAT English Exam Pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Particulars<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Details<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Section Name<\/td><td>English Language<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Questions<\/td><td>22\u201326 questions<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weightage<\/td><td>Around 20%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Question Type<\/td><td>Passage-based MCQs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passage Length<\/td><td>Around 450 words<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Passage Sources<\/td><td>Fiction and non-fiction writings<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Difficulty Level<\/td><td>Class 12 standard<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time Suggested per Passage<\/td><td>5\u20137 minutes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Marking Scheme<\/td><td>+1 for each correct answer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Negative Marking<\/td><td>-0.25 for each wrong answer<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Also Check:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lawpreptutorialkolkata.com\/blog\/clat-exam-pattern\/\">CLAT Exam Pattern<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Difficulty Level of CLAT English<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difficulty level of CLAT English is generally of Class 12 standard. However, the real challenge is not just vocabulary or grammar. The section becomes difficult because of lengthy passages, close answer options, inference-based questions, and limited time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students who read regularly find this section manageable. But students who do not have a strong reading habit struggle with speed and comprehension. To score well, students should practice passage-based questions daily, learn vocabulary in context, revise grammar basics, and take timed sectional tests. With regular practice, CLAT English can become one of the most scoring sections in the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read More<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/lawpreptutorialkolkata.com\/blog\/clat-legal-reasoning-syllabus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CLAT Legal Reasoning Syllabus<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs About CLAT English Syllabus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783255506559\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>How many questions are asked in CLAT English?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Around 22\u201326 questions are asked in the CLAT English Language section.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1783255591347\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is the weightage of English in CLAT?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The English Language section carries around 20% weightage in the CLAT UG paper.
