Candidates Can Attempt Mock Tests Multiple Times
The Consortium has clarified that candidates can retake the sample tests as many times as they wish.
After submitting an attempt, candidates will be able to review their scores and performance.
Although candidates can navigate between sections and questions, the Consortium recommends completing each mock test in a single sitting to simulate the actual examination environment.
Candidates must ensure that they have a stable internet connection before attempting the tests.
Mock Tests Will Not Determine Actual CLAT 2027 Exam Pattern
The Consortium has specifically clarified that the mock tests are provided only for practice and self-assessment.
The format, difficulty level, distribution of questions, structure and subject matter of these mock tests are indicative and do not necessarily reflect the actual CLAT 2027 examination.
The Consortium will also not entertain queries regarding incorrect answers or other issues relating to the sample papers.
CLAT 2027 Examination Date and Timing
The actual CLAT 2027 examination is scheduled for Sunday, December 6, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

Unlike the online mock tests, the actual CLAT 2027 examination will be conducted offline.
