Well, now. CLAT is over. You have 14 full days to live. Live them. Watch the movies you wanted, spend time with your family, do whatever you like. Because, it’s over.
Did you mess it up? Or did you not? Doesn’t matter anymore. This paper IS NOT “everything”, life’s bigger than that, it’s time you lived it, at least for 14 days.
You’ve worked hard, as hard as it is humanly possible to. And that is where it ends. I hope you’ll do well, but I seriously hope that no matter what you do, you are content with it.
Best.
I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must NEVER let them take it from us. – V for Vendetta

Yeah, so now since March 2012 is over, my liver just got smaller..
it was sooooo unfair :/
It was so ‘unfair’ for everyone, so if you look at it that way, clat 2012 was a level playing field! 😛
nobody can help it, mate !!
that was unfair !!! legal aptitude and gk was big shock to me !!!
DISAPPOINTED
Which countries jointly hosted 2011 cricket worldcup?
Ans- India, Bangladesh and Srilanka

not 2016

le corbusier was from which country? France (born in Switzerland)
2012 olympics to be held in which city?- London
Submarine inducted by Indian Navy- INS Chakra.
Third one was not asked.The question was a bit different there.
the 3rd one was nuclear submarine under construction..
google says it z INS Arihant…
IT WAS CHAKRA THOUGH I M NT SURE ABOUT IT !!!
Yayyyy it feels so good to be contributing to this amazing website, even if it’s only by remembering two ans from the paper…Thankyou so much to the entire ClatGyan team..you are so supportive…and i can safely say CLAT 2012 was an enjoyable experience (which does not mean the paper was awesome..but i enjoyed the preparation, the whole process..today was just the culmination..)
I really REALLY hope the hard work pays off…
Where are the Next Olympics 2012 scheduled to be held?
LONDON
The venue for 2012 Olympic was asked.
Also, “What is Salwa Judum?”, not the movement it is associated with.
It might have something to do with different sets, though. Mine was Set C.
exactly! mine was also C. and i think the answer was that youth being given arms and employed..
No. They asked, In which state has Salwa Judum been banned by the SC? The ans is Chattisgarh, the only state to have conducted such an operation.
Salwa Judum is a special police force of armed tribals constituted by the govt to counter the Maoists. That way, the Maoists would be killing the tribals only, the ones they seek to defend.
i think that question about olympic was asked for yr 2012
london
but it was 2016 for me
first of all, thanks a bunch for this.
but was this the way CLAT 2012 was suppossed to be? wasnt static gk omitted? whts with this horrible shock???????????????
I know!! I wrote the exam today too!!! I was both shocked and a little worried!!
A VERY UNEXPECTED PAPER.& not a very plesant one
I was so annoyed I really wanted to walk out of the hall!
Either you keep the window open for both static and current and just say GK or don’t make claims when more than 50% questions are only Static!
yeah thats trueee!! They shouldn’t have said that static is omitted!
yeah!!!! n even the legal reasoning section… i ws shocked to c d questions based on assertion n reason……
this was really horrendous…i mean static gk wasn’t expected and not even legal gk was expected…it was not mentioned in the website itself that legal section would include questns regarding reasoning only but i was left in slack jawed amazement to see the questions from constitution and also questions to test your grasp over law of torts and contracts..i mean questions without principles….it was same as of nluo 2011…many legal section questions were exactly bthe same as in the nluo paper 2011….any ways…reasoning was good enough and maths …no complaints…!!! thank you CG for your efforts that has helped us to reach so far…. thanks a lot!!! god bless you guys!!!
oops..typing mistake …please omit or skip the word “not” used in second line
IT WAS HORRIBLE XPREINCE … I DIDNT XCPTD SUCH PAPER !!! LEGAL GK WORDS FROM FOREIGN ORIGIN AND THOSE ASSERTION AND REASONING QUESTION ARRRRGHHHHH !!!
Another question in Clat 12- Which famous fair is held in Rajasthan- Pushkar

unicef new brand ambasdor is AMIR KHAN..not priyanka chopra…she is of UNESCO
YES !!! UR RIGHT AQIB SHE IS OF UNESCO ACCORDING TO MY KNOWLEDGE !!!
Didn’t they ask who won the Dadasaheb Phalke award for 2012? I’m pretty sure they asked that and hence, I didn’t mark Soumitra Chatarjee! 🙁
true..sukriti…clatgyan is amazng..u ppl rock!!
gk was a lottttt of static…nd legal tooo…..fingers crossed for the results!!!
which is first indigenously made nuclear submarine by india?…chakra is handed over by russia.
INS Arihant
There was this question regarding who gave the judgement for the 2G scam. Ganguly and Singhvi.
the reply to Q38 is wrong.
the Q had asked the name of the SUB which is indigenously being built by India.
ANS- INS ARHIANT
I hope it was!!!!!!
Yeah even I feel it wrong it should be ins arihant ka indigenous sub
hey. Instead of all you guys posting that clat was horrible and everything, why don’t you all just send a mail to helpdesk@clat.ac.in and ask them if they were out of their goddam minds deviating from the pattern. And ask them to fix the mistake one way or another. Atleast then something would happen. A mail and a phonecall from each one of you reading this. Email : helpdesk@clat.ac.in

speaker lok sabha
Which section was this in? GK or Legal?
It was not asked Asad Sir
gk weird na
gk .i think its the President
President. There was a joint address today incidentally, something to do with the 60th anniversary of the Lok Sabha or something. Heard it on the radio, AIR said “Pratibha Patil would be addressing both houses at 5pm”
Legal…
and it’s speaker of the lok sabha… president summons both houses for a joint sitting of both houses..but the speaker presides over such meetings…
Gk only
it was asked in legal
can any1 please tell me WHAT IS THE ANSWER??!!
prez or speaker of lok sabha?
FOUND IT!!!
It’s the speaker of Lok Sabha…
I marked ‘Prez’ 🙁
1 more question on the lines – which of the following assisted india in the census estimation? i marked united nations population fund.
same here 😛
it should be correct, i guess??
hope so !!!
well I’m not VERY sure about this.
but wasn’t one of the questions- who won the sejong literacy prize?
national literacy agency, burundi.
ques was that which nuclear submarine is under construction……..and the answer is ins arihant
light year is a unit of? …. one of the questions it was.
distance!!!!
the Q for 38th is -the indigeneously built submarine which is still under construction..
aridaman
Sry frndz i dnt know d answers so only d questions..:-( The winners of the 2011 Santosh Trophy? Which country is the largest importer of iron ore frm India? Which sector witnessed the highest growth durind the 11th 5-year plan? Which famous Indian tennis player is now a Hollywood film-maker? World’s Longest shipping canal?
when i saw the gk section, i thought i was giving another nlu-d exam. :p
Thought of writing a hate-mail to the person who set the paper.
Q Light year unit is used to measure what?
Ans Distance
there was a question about which tennis player has turned Hollywood producer
When is ‘World computer literacy day’ celebrated ? Answer : December 2
Ooh… I got that right..:D
which un organisation was collaborated with during census 2011 by Indian Govt…..(think it was in gk section only.)
Atleast people CLAT-2012 was not an entire SHOCK like clat-2011 was.So enjoy.
How was CLAT 2011 a shock….i gave the paper today and i am telling you it was not as cohesively set as CLAT 2011…
I mean the reason and assertion in Legal plus at least 15 questions required previous legal knowledge..
Did you give CLAT-2011 too??going through all the reviews n stuff i know legal n gk was lil unexpected but atleast you people could finish the paper.Last year we(like majority) almost attempted 20-30 questions as flukes.And you know after taking a drop that hurts the most when you even dont know full questions of your paper.
all said and done CLAT 2011 was a nicer shock as compared to CLAT 2012. some sections were so easy you were left wondering whether or not there was some devious twisted reasoning you were missing. and having Static GK questions or Logical Reasoning questions in the Legal section didn’t help.
Legal and gk section was lill bit shocking and wired !!!!
Anyways
Thanx a lot clatgyan it was fun preparing with you !!!!!
Cg rocks
NH 7 IS THE LONGEST
It’s NH 44 now.
as far as i remember china was not even an option in the ‘leading iron ore dealer with india’ question..it was japan instead.
yes, china wasnt an option!!
how was clat overall?????
the paper was easy!!!! bt i ws shocked to c d legal section n gk.. 🙁
the clat website said it will have only current affairs.. mainly of 2011 and 2012..well but there were questions like.. where is akshadham ?? 🙁 🙁
Which country is the largest Iron Ore importer from India?
This is the wrong question you Posted above Sorry,I am damn sure they asked about the exporter whom India Exports most Iron ore Sir.I marked Germany there. 🙂
i marked japan. what is the correct answer???
japan
is japan the right answer?
One of the questions was- which of the following is the longest canal?
and also who first reached the south pole from India? or something like that.
One thing that I have learned is- never take the official announcement as the final thing. They set questions on whichever topic they like and in whichever pattern! :-/
‘The Google Story’ is a book written by? David A Wise and Mark Malseed.
This question is also not asked Sir atleast in my Set (A).I am sure Sir.
Sorry for the above comment but I made it because none of the option had Two names there Sir.
It was asked. In set A sir.
So my question is, what have you been smoking?
The question was there..not sure bouh the options 😛
The question was there, but the option has only Davis Wise, not the other guy..
Sorry to check, but the answer to the “”leap year question was – DISTANCE and not LENGTH, it might be confusing for others as we do not remember the other options
leap??? O.o
wasn’t that “LIGHT”? :/
yeah..it was light!! light year
Light year- It s the distance travelled by light in one year. ie. 3X100000000X3600X24X365 metres !!!!!!!!!!

i have the ability to score 50/50 in gk but gk portin in not fully based on current affairs as declaired in clat offical web site but it is also not so hard becoz i am the student of SRI RAM LAW ACADEMY …………. and they help me alot
self proclaimed superhuman 😉
The person who f**ks the rest! 😛
I hope you’re expecting full marks in English too….
hahaha good one! its just sick how people make up stuff to get through to others….. (rofl)
Listen @sweetsrishti*whatever* Go preach about your precious “SRI RAM LAW ACADEMY ” somewhere else. You claim that you’ll score 42 in GK and 48 in Legal, do you know how much last year’s topper scored in GK? 38. Somehow, you managed to surpass her score in a paper where 20 questions were static and you don’t know how to spell “declare” ?
I just hate posers like you and no one with such a pathetic mentality to brag about their high score will ever get into a NLU…
IF YOU’RE GETTING IN DON’T BRAG ABOUT IT… JUST SHUT UP….
muhtod jawab tha.
i lik it
Wow man, you’re going to break Padmini Baruah’s record ( Rank 1 last year ). She got 173, I’m sure you’re expecting something like 198 or 199. Way to go man ! The world’s alive and kicking till people like you are alive.
And if your superbrain couldn’t decipher – All of it was sarcasm. Thought I’d tell you before you unnecessarily inflate your bursting ego.
Modesty anyone ?
Thank you Dhruv! But i guess sarcasm is a dish better served cold.. With all of us hoping to get into some NLU its great to know we’re already encountering these people 🙂
umm srishti noe dat d reults r out im really curious how much did u get???? :p
*now
I HAD D SAME Q
To be honest, I don’t think the paper was excessively difficult. That said, though, there were some strange toss ups. Static GK for instance. IMO, it wasn’t too hard. Nothing too far out crazy and I felt that most questions were moderately easy. 10th class stuff I guess. What really bothered me was the assertion reason in the LR section – seriously, what? Absolutely no changes from previous CLAT papers. All talk about changing this and changing that and in the end, it’s all the same. With a bit more nonsense.
On which day Earth Day is celebrated. @ 22nd April
This question wasn’t asked!
i remember it was given in first ten questions ……@any one ho remember it …plz reply
right on 22nd april
There was a question about income tax exemption for senior citizens.
i guess it was income tax’ return’ exemtion limit
but again 5 years wasnt in answer option so i marked 2
The exemption limit for the senior citizens between 60 and 80 years of age will be Rs. 2.50 lakh
For very Senior Citizens (80 years and above), the income tax exemption limit will be Rs. 5 lakh
m not sure ki ques m 60-80 poocha tha ya 80 n abv… :/
it was asked for above 65
It was asked for below 65 years of age.
It was asked for below 65 and one of the options was 1,90,000 a
first indian to reach south pole was not asked but was asked
First Indian Person to reach the North Pole? Squadron Leader Sanjay Thapar
yeah sorry it was north pole.
it was ski to the north pole… that could result in a different answer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajeet_Bajaj
First Indian to ski to the North Pole.
Ajeet Bajaj (born 1965) is the first Indian to ski to the North Pole — “AND” — the South Pole within a year.
^ THAT COULD TOO!
bingo ajit bajaj was d correct answer
Thank you
ques was first men to reach north pole not south pole…
The nrega answer is wrong..they asked when it started …tht is 2006…so answer was 5 years…
n i m pretty sure Salwa Judum was the civilian army option…
It was told that they asked the time period since the renaming happened. It was in 2009 (Oct 2), so 2 years.
no they didnt asked the renaming they just asked how mamy years has passed since it was implemented
I second that.
Odisha doesn’t exist for a year just because its name changed.
@dark knight lol! i like the analogy 🙂
true..bcuz i clearly remem lookin fr the option 2 yrs…it wasn’t thr..then i read the question again n ticked 5 yrs…
it wasnt south pole , the question asked about first indian who reached northpole ………Squadron Leader Sanjay Thapar
light year is unit to measure
distance
Earth day wasn’t a question.
INS Arihant isn’t the answer because the question didn’t ask us the FIRST nuclear submarine. It asked us about the one still ‘under construction’.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arihant_class_submarine
Ghatak belongs to the Army(I dont think its a sub at all), Sudarshan doesnt exist-Sudarshini is a sailing training ship. Chakra might be the answer.
sir it was not 1st indegenous sabmarine of india,but was under construction sUbmarine and options wer-INS-ARIHAT ,GHATAK,SUDARSHAN,CHAKRA
Chakra is a nerpa 2 class submarine being acquired from russia… So it is not indigenous
setting a-side what WAS the pattern for CLAT-2012, & WHAT all we suffered today , i would like to thank Mr.asad & and not to forget Mr. aymenn , for being the torch-bearers for a guy who got to know about a STRANGE CREATURE- CcLlAaTt !!!! in september end, and still was able to come out of my exam center with A Half-devilish SMILE !!!

BTW , as far as EXAM pattern is concerned , go to http://clat.ac.in/pattern.aspx

:p
*sorry guys* & gals too~

They did not ask about the Earth Day if i recollect
Yes ,they didn’t ask atleast in Set A..:/
Yes, there was no question like this at least in Set A
The question related to brand ambassador was of 2011!
priyanka chopra was the ambassador of UNICEF in 2010. In 2011, its UNESCO.
She was NEVER the ambassador of UNESCO. Their ambassadors are taken on on a permanent basis, not yearly.
http://www.unesco.org/new/en/unesco/about-us/who-we-are/goodwill-ambassadors/goodwill-ambassadors/
Wasn’t the question –
WHAT WAS THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE 11TH FIVE YEAR PLAN ?
A. MANUFACTURING
B. SERVICES
C. INDUSTRY
????
It’s services… maybe
n yes…
THAT WAS THE QUESTION.
ok i just wanna confirm this… we all got different answer booklet series… I got B..someone i know got C…so do they have questions or are the options just jumbled up??
Would really appreciate an answer
Different options. It’s to prevent malpractice. The questions are the same in all the papers.
Oh ok … Thanks
light year is used to measure distance !!!
24 🙁
So the 38th question is : Which of the following is a nuclear submarine UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The answer is INS Chakra.
INS Arihant has already been launched.
YES!!!! 😀
I got it right :p
Don’t think so, Chakra isn’t indigenous. It’s Russian.
It is Arihant. It is not yet inducted into indian Navy. It is under few tests..
Yeah can’t be chakra.., it’s acquired from Russia … The question clearly mentioned indigenous
hiiii i got a 37 in gk!!:(

The submarine question was about an indigenous submarine still construction, I think.
there was this match the following question as in which part of our constitution was taken from which all countries constitutions….1)rule of law 2)concurrent list 3)directive principles and something else…..
the first indian to ski to north pole was ajit bajab check wikipedia or lucent….the longest canal is ssuez canal(big ship) and baltic canal (small ship) Beijing canal was not an option….btw getting 43 in gk thanks Clatgyan and asad….your monthly supplements really helped me a lot thanks again and continue the good work 😀
i marked Suez too…
sadly according to wiki…

its from 2010…
she recently became brand ambassador fore UNESCO
n Amir khan is the current bran ambassador for UNICEF…

30 🙁
Me too gtng 30 :/
But I think its an average score :/
Sir it is INS Arihant. Cz INS Arihanta is still under tests and yet has not been inducted into Indian Navy. and the Highway is not 44 it is NH 7
ins arindhamam is the answer to the submarine question not ins arihant !! but arindhamam was not given in the options !
Arihant is Under tests.. So it is Arihant!
that is true . anyways i marked arihant so don’t care anyways .
“38. Name the Indian indigenous nuclear submarine which is under construction. INS Chakra (It’s not INS Arihant as it has already been built)”
It has to be INS Arihant because its the ONLY indigenous nuclear submarine (or for the matter of fact even the first indigenous submarine) that India is building.
INS Arihant is still not completely constructed, the reactor is still to go critical.
It will be considered constructed only after it hits ADVANCED sea trails.
WIKIPEDIA:
The “””symbolic””” launch ceremony for the Arihant was held on 26 July 2009, the anniversary of Vijay Diwas (Kargil War Victory Day). The name …………. destroyer of enemies. The “””completion””” of the INS Arihant “””will make India””” one of six countries in the world with the ability to design, build, and operate its own nuclear submarines.
Can we have the legal GK question please?
INS Chakra is the Nuclear sub which has been leased from Russia. The indiginous sub being made in india is named Arihant.
the largest gland in the human body is not the liver but the pancreas!
its liver
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_body_part
Check wiki … Its liver
The question was,who was the first person to reach North Pole and not Ski North Pole. The answer is Sq.Leader Sanjay Thapar.
Ski was there… That’s why I knew the answer wasn’t squadron leader
it was clearly written “ski” to the pole :/
i got that wrong too 🙁
there was a question about tax for senior citezens dont remember the exact thing, others may elaborate :S
answer is 2.5 lakhs
i don’t think it was ” 11th five year plan that WITNESSED growth in ______sector” it was more like “11TH five year plan that ENVISAGED growth in ______ sector”… i am just saying.
prakhar they asked firat indian to reach north pole..not by sking.. it is thapa only
There are some questions that are missing.I had Set-B and the computer literacy day wasn’t in the list of questions,mentioned. Otherwise great compilation,as usual by the ClatGyan Team. Kudos to you guys.
I had b to and computer literacy was very much there… I remember the options were July 5 and December 10 and something and something …. For some reason I don’t remember 2nd december
even i had set B.. computer literacy was there. However, EARTH DAY and the google story— these two questionsweren’t there . I’m i right ?
Google story was there… Earth day I don’t remember
i too had b but google story & computer literacy day was there but earth day was not there

one question was regarding the busiest trade canal in the world..
“longest”!!!!
What do you guys mean when you say previous knowledge of law was required?
If you wrote the paper you’ll know the answer…if not wait for the shocker!!!!
Oh thanks man Rishabh. Your reply was exactly what I was looking for.
Ok I guess I should put it in a little more perspective.
There were at least 10 questions where they gave you the facts and the options (obviously) but there was absolutely no principle given(for any of them…in my set they started at 170 and ended somewhere in the 180s. The questions after this had the principles and the facts mentioned)
And the questions(which were without any principles) were based on contracts , torts and actual articles from the Constitution… So if you had no previous legal knowledge, it would be virtually impossible for you to arrive at the correct answer without wasting time.
There were some other questions as well… They gave you a situation involving a crime and then you had to classify what the crime was… Eg criminal misappropriation,theft etc
I see. Sadism seems to be a quality common to many a Law School.
Okay, the question about Christine Lagarde actually said “Christian Legard”, if I remember correctly. Does the question stand invalid due to the spelling error?
No
it was “lagarde” for sure!
Asad, 48th wala question was “First person to SKI to the North Pole”
Tax exemption for citizens below 65 years of age – Another question

Priyanka Chopra is the brand ambassador of UNICEF, guys!
“WAS”!!
in 2010..
its amir khan now
Yes, but the question was “Priyanka Chopra is the ambassador of?” not “who is the ambassador of UNICEF”.
brand ambassador*
the answer is UNESCO
Supposedly a question: “excess of money supply in the economy..(sumthn sumthn)” Ans ws; Inflation….! pa\\\
It was something like what is it called when there is excess money supply but not enough goods.
The options were 1)Depression 2)deflation 3)inflation 4)trade defecit
If there is an excess of money relative to the supply of goods,then what is it called…..?? i marked deflation. what’s d ans ?
the first question i saw was who said man is a social animal. i actually turned to the front page and checked whether i got the real question paper!!!!
All I could say is, I’m consulting my Advocates to file a [:P]ublic Interest Litigation!!
may we form an organisation for this?
We could! It’s not a big deal…
which is the largest Canal in the World?Indira Gandhi Canal
* face-palm* 😐
Youngest Indian to Reach Mt.Everest?Arjun Bajpai
Oh Yes, There was a question in Set A about Rise in money supply and fall in supply of goods leading to the phenomenon :___Inflation.
nope . Inflation is when the same amount of goods (say , a pack of chips) costs much more than what it was costing a few months back . The answer is trade deficit . I did’nt know jack in GK , but atleast this one was pure common sense .
Common Sense fail. LOL
The answer in NO way is Trade Deficit.
The question, somewhat, was : The phenomenon when there is excess of money relative to the supply of goods, and in which people prefer to exchange services for goods rather than money (in other words, in which goods are more valuable than money), is? ”
A: Inflation/Hyperinflation.
okay , turns out i was more concerned about math and logical than gk . yes , common sense fail . Thank you for pointing it out . *dimag ki batti turns on now* 😐
Who presides over the joint session of Parliament?
Ans: Speaker of Lok Sabha.
Please upload the legal or logical reasoning questions too!!
hey!dis was an unfair paper!!wat happned to d legal section !even d principle based questions and assertions wer based on legal knowledge!!dis is nt done!!btw
was the dada saheb phalke award even there as a question!i had c series!i didnt see dat question
ALSO because many of us attempt the legal section first!!looking at the questions actually boggles our mind!!i screwed up logical at the end coz all d confidence i had had gone down below zero
The estimated cut-off ‘s provided below are subject to minor variation of +/-5 marks.
Tier I Law Schools: 137-142
Tier II Law Schools: 133-137
Tier III Law Schools: 127-133
These are Lst cutoffs but they are never very accurate
can u tell me 2 which NLU’S come in tier 1 category??
China is the largest iron importer of the world but Japan is the largest iron importer from India. India is the 2nd largest iron exporter to China.
And Mahesh Bhupati has also turned producer which was also in the option.
EXACTLY ! china mines around 270 tons of iron an year , India a mere 40 . why would it bother getting stuff from india ? Also , out quality isn’t that good .
question 17 was not when India joined UN but when was UN formed…so 1945 would be right
and Ques 27(Formula 1 race ) … different states were given as options …so i marked New Delhi which would be right 😛
Nope greater noida… It’s in UP
you sure? because as far as i remember states were given as options i suppose!! Though another wrong answer added to the bucket makes no difference now 😛
Paper was very easy… it was surprising but than any serious clat aspirant ( like me 😉 !!! ) ofcourse had idea about things they asked i mean legal question were basically logical even the assertion reasons and questions without principle. I believe it was hell lot of less shock than CLAT 2011. Also, GK static questions seems to be static but were actually from detailed current GK… serious reading of The Hindu whole year paid off… like the first woman DGP was actually awarded last year in woman dgp conference….. the irrigation canal relates to infamous bhanwari devi case as in indra canal her dead and burned body was dumped….
oops sorry !!! * then*
Earth day was definitely not a question.
And INS Chakra is not the answer,becuz its not indigenously Indian. It was commissioned by Russia.
Geneva is this year(2012) celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of philosopher, writer and composer Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
sir! i shock to see the paper of clat .we all know that this session only current affair asked no gk.but they include gk this is fraud.we have spend many time and money on current affairs.not only this they are asked question based on legal gk.but it not mention in syllabus.they say that from this session no legal gk is test only legal reasoning is to be tested.this is only called fraud.how can they do this with all candidates.
i think my score is around 35
Can you please discuss the logical reasoning and legal knowledge sections as well.Some of them were really ambiguous.
i second that!!
Yes plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz do so
Oh, yeah. If there is an excess cash in-flow and commodities are also in excess, then what condition is it?
If my memory serves me right, the options were: inflation, deflation, fiscal deficit and something else.
the fourth option was, ‘hyperinflation’, which according to me was the right answer. It spoke of an excess cash in-flow and a deficit of commodities in the market, a situation in which commodities are more valuable than money itself. This is what happened in the case of hyperinflation in Germany in the 1920’s.
inflation , by definition , is when a given product costs more that what it used to a few months back or something . hyperinflation is an extreme case of this (3 bagloads of cash for a loaf of bread :O ). that is not the answer . Trade deficit is . I didn’t know the technical meanings either , but it was mostly common sense .
Trade deficit applies only for external trade, so its not that.
yes . common sense fail , if you will .
INS Chakra is russian made, and INS Arihant is under construction :/
it was definitely first indian to ski to the north pole
and 10 december was an option in human rights day ka question
i think options for tax exemption under 65 were 17500, 19000, 25000 or something like that
Yeah, the values were 17500, 19000 , 25000 and 15000(Not sure about this one).
Basically, nowhere near the 2.5 Lakhs that somebody has mentioned here, and Googling the question didn’t really help give a concrete answer.
Yes, this question was asked, not when is Earth Day celebrated.
On which day is the ‘Earth Day’ celebrated every year? April 22nd this question was not asked!!
correct. not asked.
The navy vessel question was not the first nuclear submarine. It was ‘Which nuclear powered submarine is currently underconstruction in India?’ INS Arihant is a nuclear powered submarine but not currently underconstruction. INS Chakra, recently commissioned, is the first nuclear weapon enabled submarine and not nuclear powered. I took a random guess in the other two options.
longest National Highway 7 (NH-7) To Be Renamed As National Highway 44 (NH-44)…. again current gk
Was L.A a shocker only for me?
@Above
INS Chakra (Nerpa or Akula II) is a Russian SSK which India has leased and it has been commissioned (its in service), its nuclear powered but not tipped with nuclear missiles (Read: SSK or Attack Submarine).
INS Arihant is an Indian SSBN which is STILL under construction. (It is as good as a house of whose walls are erected and then u have a party about having a new house, but the house is not said to be complete until all works are done)
So it has to be INS Arihant, firstly it is the only indigenous submarine and secondly its still under construction.
Question was Name the indigenous nuclear submarine which is under construction.
similarly titanic was in news last year…. it sunk in s shaped atlantic ocean plus A man from Hungary has become the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a canoe after he traveled from Europe to the Caribbean. Legal and GK were merely tricky… hard working students will be rewarded ….unlike clat 2011 which was per se unfair by focusing it too much on reasoning on all subjects baring gk and maths.
I think it was rise in the cash in-flow followed by reduced demand for goods. Isn’t that deflation?
If there’s more money, but the same amount of stuff to spend it on, the value of each unit of money reduces. That is inflation. And that is also why the RBI raises interest rates to curb inflation, because then there would be less money available.
http://www.indiannavy.nic.in/press-release/nuclear-powered-submarine-ins-chakra-joins-indian-navy
It’s not Chakra. This is the Indian Navy’s official press release.
It’s INS Arihant.
1.Indigenous
2.It hasn’t been commissioned.
Yeah, definitely not the Chakra. It’s either Arihant or the Aridaman if this is to be believed. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2798864.ece
They didn’t ask about the submarine the first submarine, they asked about the latest.
They also mentioned it was still under construction.
there is a news that some students are filing case against CLAT…
if it so happens…will we have to give CLAt again??
China is wrong. After, Beijing Olympics India stopped Iron Ore Production to China. The correct answer is Japan

Is it just me, or is the answer to the canal question Panama? China wasn’t an option.
yes I china wasnt an option
To all you people who say 2012’s paper was better than 2011 clat, and basing their arguments on the huge majorty who flunked 20 to 30 questions.
just cause 14 trillion flies say eat shit, does not make it a norm. if there is to be a general consensus, it has to be an educated and logical one. 2011 paper was a an excellent paper, based on pure logic and understanding. look at the kids they produced last year…they were of the highest caliber …..the paper was worthy of being a gateway to the major law colleges in india….and there was no luck involved…..whereas the paper this year was shit for face quality…total divination from the syllabus….and people here have the audacity to talk about how was a premier law school paper and not a cakewalk. well the longest highway……2012 olympics……. biggest canal……..what is light year……….are not really what i’d call quality paper. and the people who say this was a good paper are really saying that …”thank god it was an easy paper ……i was shiting my pants”.
exactly if they had to ask such questions only y did they make us work so hard nd in the end produce a paper which is only for ppl with excellent wild guesses nd luck
like…Like!!! LIKE!!! ;p
hey. Instead of all you guys posting that clat was
horrible and everything, why don’t you all just
send a mail to helpdesk@clat.ac.in and ask them if they were out of their goddam minds deviating
from the pattern. And ask them to fix the mistake
one way or another. Atleast then something
would happen. A mail and a phonecall from each
one of you reading this. Email : helpdesk@clat.ac.in # : (0291) 2577044,
2577045, 2577138, 2577526

This would probably end the debate on the submarine question, and also qualify it as a question of current affairs. the answer is INS Aridaman. Arihant is undergoing sea trials and is not underconstruction.
http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/article2798864.ece
Just want to know the person(s) who prepared that piece(clat question paper) of CRAP,and i will surely kill them
If my memory serves me right, the 49th question was, ” The phenomenon when there is excess of money relative to the supply of goods, and in which people prefer to exchange services for goods rather than money (in other words, in which goods are more valuable than money), is? ”
And the answer to that would be ” Hyperinflation”.
Was one of the options for Q.27 ‘Greater Noida’? I thought the answer was ‘Delhi’.
arindanam wasnt an option. the answer is arihant. arindanam was hardly in the news. arihant is still under process.
It was an option and I definitely remember reading the name last year somewhere..,but I also marked the answer as arihant only
No, pretty sure the options were : Ghaatak, Sudarshini,Chakra and Arihant
The Qs When is Earth day celebrated ? was not asked
Q 50 wasnt there is in the paper. One question we’re missing is the National Law Day one. Ans. November 26
isn’t squadron leader sanjay thapar the first to reach north pole?
yes he is d 1
the mount everest question wasnt asked i guess!
First of all, thanks for the questions. I think the answer to question 29 is wrong. Actually the question was something like ” How many years has it been *upto 2011* since NREGA was implemented? ” NREGA was implemented in Feb 2006. So It has been 5 years. I am not sure about this. Will you be kind enough to check it with someone else and update this page if there is any change? Thank you!
No no the answer is correct its 6 yrs becoz NREGA was started in 2005. For further details on it visit wikipedia.org
i think my score is 44… 😀
by mistake wrong wrong date of birth. what to do?
was ins arindam an option in that submarine question:-p?
at least few of the questions that u have mentioned minimum 2 were not there in my question paper i.e miit romeny and mount everest…climer and i m sure.. my code was A
in q.27 was delhi one of the options?
i think that this year question paper was comparatively much easier to 2011 paper
