According to Harsh Gagrani, Co-founder, LegalEdge by Toprankers, the Logical Reasoning section was easy to moderate with a little confusing passage on “production efficiency”. The length of the passages was surprisingly short with few questions on inference, strength, and weakness in this section, the co-founder added.
There was a total of five paragraphs, each mostly focused on recent legal developments. These chapters were mostly focused on current events, specifically addressing subjects such as the Data Protection Act, Juvenile Justice, Defamation, Inheritance, and others.
Overall, this segment was rather straightforward. A score of 28-30 is deemed commendable for this section, while a score of 25-26 is regarded as satisfactory.

General Knowledge: The section was easy and maximum questions were passage-based. A few Why questions and questions on world affairs and political events like G 20, Gaza strip, ISRO, and Jallianwala bagh.

The English section was easy. The questions were literature-based and to the point and could be solved by elimination. There were no vocab questions.
-- Harsh Gagrani, Co founder, LegalEdge by Toprankers
The English component consisted of 24 questions, divided into 4 passages, with 6 questions each passage. Most of the questions, as per experts in the field, were uncomplicated. The questions were clear and relevant to the context. Aiming for a score between 20 and 23 would be considered a commendable effort, and a satisfactory result would fall within the range of 20 to 21.
