Does Classroom of the Elite follow the light novel?

 The Classroom of the Elite anime adaptation generally follows the light novel series, but there are some differences between the two. The anime covers the events of the first three volumes of the light novel series, but it omits some details and changes the order of some events. Additionally, some scenes and characters that appear in the anime were not present in the light novel, and some characters in the anime have different personalities or roles than they do in the light novel.

Overall, while the Classroom of the Elite anime adaptation is generally faithful to the light novel series, there are some differences between the two that may be noticeable to fans who have read the light novel.
