      Yes, the pattern has been changed.
      As mentioned on the CLAT Website:
      "It is for information of the candidates taking CLAT-2009 for admission to Undergraduate courses that 45 questions on Legal Aptitude shall be questions on General Knowledge in Law and there shall be no question on Legal Reasoning.
      This may be taken note of by every candidate. "
