Dear Aspirant,

The most important Law exam is CLAT and has undergone a lot of changes this year and has focused more on the aptitude and comprehension of the students. It analyse the logical thinking and ability to understand the situation given in the paper. The question therefore are from the following sections:-

Quantitative Aptitude, simple basic maths questions about simple concepts of basic arithmetic like ratio, average, etc. Solving any basic clat book will be enough.

Puzzle based logical reasoning that check the analysing capacity, you can check mock tests about these puzzles.

English paragraphs based questions to check comprehension and to check ability to read and comprehend the passages. You can buy any reading passages books and solve mock papers.

General Knowledge questions from current affairs. Following news will be enough for this section, and more importantly news of law and order.

Hello Aspirant,

There are different law exams like CLAT, AILET and SET etc. Most law entrance tests follow a similar exam pattern. Prepare well for English, General Knowledge and Legal Aptitude as these will help you to crack any law exam. For English I'll recommend you to read and read  & Strengthen your grammar. Solve mock tests and exercises that will improve your grammar. Read Newspapers everyday for GK. Focus on the following topics in Law:

  • Criminal Law
  • Law of Tort
  • Contract Act
  • Indian Constitution

Give mocks for reasoning and mathematics practice.

Good Luck
