CLAT current affairs: the monthly archive

Current affairs for CLAT, month by month, with a source link on every line and a note on what the item could be asked as. The digests below are live; the fuller compilation is still being written, and this page says exactly how much of it exists rather than linking to months that are not there.

What is not confirmed yet, as at 22 September 2026

  • 8 monthly files are drafts. None of them is published. Coverage per month ranges from one item to seven.
  • September to December 2025 and June 2026 have no file.
  • October and November 2026 are not written. They are the months closest to the paper.

Monthly digests that are live

Each of these covers one month’s events with a note on how CLAT is likely to test them. They are blog posts rather than archive pages, which is why they read as articles.

The full compilation, and where it stands

The working archive under content/current-affairs/ holds 8 months and 24 items, each with its own source link and a note on what CLAT could ask from it. All 8 of those months are still marked draft, which means none of them is built or published. That is the accurate position, and it is stated here rather than implied by a set of links that go nowhere.

Coverage is also uneven — some months carry a single item. A month with one entry is not a month’s current affairs, and publishing it as though it were would be worse than saying so.

MonthItems on fileStatusCoverage note
September 20261Draft — not publishedOne item so far. No judgment or ministry document for the month has been read yet.
August 20267Draft — not publishedSeven items, all from PRS Bill Track (and the Bills' own status lines). The nine-judge Supreme Court decision of 20 August on the meaning of 'industry' is NOT included: the judgment itself could not be opened from sci.gov.in this session.
July 20262Draft — not publishedTwo items. The Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Ordinance of 16 May and the Bill introduced on 20 July are covered under August, where the Bill passed.
May 20261Draft — not publishedOne item, from a Supreme Court judgment. The cancellation of NEET 2026 in May and the Supreme Court (Number of Judges) Ordinance of 16 May appear in the July and August digests, where the sources record them.
April 20264Draft — not publishedFour items, all from PRS Legislative Research's Bill Track. No item in this month is sourced to a judgment or a ministry document yet.
March 20266Draft — not publishedFour items sourced to primary documents (a Supreme Court judgment and PRS records of Bills).
February 20262Draft — not publishedTwo items sourced to primary documents. Other February events are not included because no primary document has been read for them.
January 20261Draft — not publishedOne item, from a Supreme Court judgment opened in full. Other January events are not included because no primary document has been read for them.

What is missing

September 2025 to December 2025, and June 2026, have no file at all. October and November 2026 will be written as they happen. The CLAT 2027 paper is sat on 6 December 2026, so the months that matter most for this cycle are the ones still ahead.

Every line in this archive needs a source link before it is published. That is slower than summarising a newspaper, and it is the only way a current affairs page is worth reading — an unsourced claim about a Bill, a judgment or a treaty is exactly the kind of thing that gets repeated across coaching sites until nobody can trace where it came from.

Current affairs by topic

Deeper pieces on single themes, rather than a month’s events.

How to use any of this

Reading a digest is not preparation. CLAT tests current affairs through passages: you get an extract about an event and are asked to reason from it, not to recall the date it happened.

So the useful loop is short. Read the month. Pick five items you could not explain to somebody in two sentences. Read the source link on those five. Then answer questions on them — the current affairs practice set is free and needs no account.

The routine that makes this stick, rather than the list itself, is on the GK strategy page.

Frequently asked questions

How far back should CLAT current affairs go?

Roughly the twelve months before the paper, weighted towards the most recent six. For CLAT 2027, sat on 6 December 2026, that means late 2025 through November 2026, with the second half of 2026 mattering most.

Does CLAT ask direct current affairs questions?

Not in the recall sense. The section is passage-based: you read a 450-word extract on an event and answer questions that require you to have context, not to have memorised a date. Knowing the background makes the passage quick; not knowing it makes it survivable but slow.

Why are the monthly pages not published?

Because they are not finished. Several months hold a single item, and every line needs a source link before it goes up. An archive with one entry for May is not an archive.

Is a newspaper enough?

One newspaper read consistently beats three read occasionally. What a newspaper does not give you is the "what could be asked from this" step, which is the part that converts reading into marks — that is what these digests add.

Is GK being removed from CLAT?

It is proposed for removal from a future cycle, not removed. CLAT 2027 keeps the Current Affairs and General Knowledge section in full. See the CLAT 2028 page for what has actually been decided.
