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

i think tht q.21 was asked tht name the largest canal for irrigation?….n google says its sirhind canal…The Sirhind Canal is a large irrigation canal that carries water from the Sutlej River in Punjab state, India. It is one of the oldest and biggest irrigation works in the Indus river system, and was inaugurated in 1882 CE.[1] The canal begins at Ropar headworks near Ropar city in Rupnagar district of Punjab.[1]

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.

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! :-/

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.

“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.

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

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….

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 .

The navy vessel question was not the first nuclear submarine.

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.

@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.

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.

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”.
