About law exams
Law entrance exams are the gateway to India's premier legal education. The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities, is the most important of them, opening admission to the five-year integrated LLB programmes at most of the National Law Universities (NLUs) as well as to many private law schools that accept the score. A strong CLAT rank is the single biggest factor in landing a seat at a top NLU.
The modern CLAT is a comprehension-first test: rather than rewarding rote legal knowledge, it presents passages and asks you to read closely and reason — applying a stated legal principle to a fact situation, drawing inferences from an argument, or interpreting a current-affairs passage. The sections are English Language, Current Affairs including General Knowledge, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning and Quantitative Techniques, and speed with accuracy under negative marking is what separates top ranks.
Because seats at the best NLUs are few and demand is high, closing ranks are tight and every mark matters. Full-length, timed practice on the exact comprehension-based pattern — especially the Legal Reasoning and Logical Reasoning sections — is the most reliable way to build the reading speed and precision the exam rewards.

How to prepare for law exams
Read to reason, not to memorise
The exam is comprehension-first. Practise applying a stated legal principle to a new fact situation and drawing inferences from arguments, rather than memorising statutes.
Build reading speed daily
English, Legal Reasoning and Logical Reasoning are all passage-based. Read editorials and long passages daily to raise your reading speed with accuracy.
Follow durable current affairs
The GK section is current-affairs heavy but comprehension-linked. Track major national and international developments over the year and revise the static context behind them.
Law exams — frequently asked questions
What is CLAT and what does it lead to?
The Common Law Admission Test is a national entrance test conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities for admission to the five-year integrated LLB (and LLM) programmes at most National Law Universities and many other law schools. A good CLAT rank is the main route into the top NLUs.
Is CLAT about knowing the law already?
No. The modern CLAT is comprehension-based: the Legal Reasoning section gives you the legal principle within the question and asks you to apply it to a fact situation, so it tests reading and reasoning rather than prior legal knowledge.
Is there negative marking in CLAT?
Yes. Each correct answer earns 1 mark and each wrong answer carries a penalty of 0.25 marks, so accurate, well-paced attempting matters. Our mocks use the same +1/−0.25 scheme.
