The Consortium of National Law Universities is set to conduct the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2025 on December 1, 2025. With just about 10 days left, candidates must prioritise an effective strategy to revise the syllabus and maximise their preparation.
Preparation Tips for CLAT 2025
- Strategic Syllabus Division
Prioritise topics you are already familiar with and aim to turn these into scoring strengths. It’s important to identify high-weightage topics and reinforce them through structured revision.
2. Understanding the Exam Pattern
Familiarity with the exam format, marking scheme, and sectional weightage is crucial. Legal reasoning and general knowledge should be allocated 3-4 hours daily, while 1-2 hours can be devoted to English and logical reasoning.
3. Mock Tests and Question Papers
Attempt full length mock tests with a two-hour duration.
Analyse incorrect answers and repetitive mistakes for improvement.
4. Brush Up On Formulas and Time-Saving Tricks
However, candidates should avoid overloading themselves with excessive mock tests, as this could impact confidence.
5. Revision Tips for Success
Use preparation notes to streamline your revision process.
Focus on core concepts and high priority topics rather than introducing new study material at this stage.
Devote time to reviewing weaker areas without compromising on well-prepared sections.
Over the last two sessions of the CLAT exam, General Knowledge and Current Affairs have been key focus areas. The upcoming CLAT 2025, a two-hour exam scheduled from 2PM to 4PM, will be held in pen-and-paper mode. Candidates are advised to simulate the exam environment by attempting full length mock tests during this timeframe.
