I am about to finish my BALLB 5Years course soon and plan on doing LLM from a good NLU. I have to appear for the CLAT PG LLM exam on June 13. How do I start preparing for it to make sure that I excel & what are the steps to be followed into getting admission after the exam?

Hello,

First of all when it comes to preparation for any exam, aspirant should be well acquainted with the paper pattern and syllabus, CLAT PG will be conducted for two hours, it will have combination of 100 MCQs and subjective type questions as in two essays of 800 words each, total marks will be of 150, coming to the syllabus it will consist of constitutional law, law of torts, company law, jurisprudence, company law, intellectual property law, family law, property law, public international law, labour and industrial law, criminal law, law of contracts, tax law, environmental law, administrative law. Focus on case laws, bare acts, a large portion of the syllabus is attributed to constitution and  jurisprudence, hence you can use books by VN Shukla for constitution, and VD Mahajan/Mani Tripathi/Panranjee for covering the jurisprudence part, for other subjects you can refer the basic books for the same but go through bare acts first, you can also make short notes as these are very useful for revision, go through sample papers and apply mock tests on regular basis, along with the result merit list will be accordingly released by the consortium, based on the merit list candidates will be shortlisted for counselling and further rounds of seat allotment, to participate in the counselling candidates will be asked about their preference for specific NLU and they need to complete the registration by paying counselling fee of Rs 50,000 and uploading the required documents, there will be a total of three rounds of counselling, after each round seat allotment list is to be released by the authority and thereby selected candidates are required to submit the course fee to further complete the process of admission.
