Revising for CLAT 2027? Start here

CLAT current affairs in 30 days is a revision course built for the weeks before the exam: one subject a day, from Parliament and the courts to trade deals, defence and sport, with every story sourced, a quiz each day, a review each week and a final test on day 30.

Legal updates, as they happen

New Supreme Court judgments, statutory amendments and government and regulator notifications, each in a short post with its official source and a note on what CLAT could ask. Updated every morning.

Monthly digests

Each digest covers one month’s events, every item with its source and a note on how CLAT is likely to test it. The general digests run to June 2026. For July to October 2026, the 30-day course covers the same ground by subject and Legal Updates covers the courts by month.

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.

Where do I find current affairs from July to October 2026?

In the 30-day revision course, which arranges the stories by subject up to October 2026, and in Legal Updates, which publishes judgments, amendments and notifications every morning and groups them by month. The general monthly digests stop at June 2026.

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.

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.
