CLAT Last Minute Preparation Tips 2025

A candidate who spent sufficient time on CLAT preparation must refer to the below-mentioned strategy for the remaining days: 

CLAT 2025 Exam Revision

How can one revise everything in the last few days? Well, there's one way to feel he/she has covered the entire syllabus for the CLAT exam i.e. by revision. Candidates can go through the list of important topics for CLAT 2025. They must cover Current Affairs for the year in the remaining days. Apart from that, they can also go over formulae and legal principles, to gain the basic understanding required for analysing passages in CLAT question paper.

Here are the important topics for CLAT 2025 that one must revise in the remaining time:

CLAT Sections

Important Topics

English  Synonyms & Antonyms, Tenses, Spotting Grammatical Errors, Active & Passive Voice
Current Affairs including GK Section Events of National and International Importance, Awards & Honours, Eminent Personalities, Sports
Quantitative Techniques Ratios and Proportions, Statistics, Mensuration
Legal Reasoning Important Supreme Court Judgments, Legal Maxims, Important Acts and Amendments of the Legislature
Logical Reasoning Relationships, Analogies, Logical Sequences, Statement & Assumption, Syllogism 

CLAT 2025 Mock Test Practice

Apart from doing a quick revision of important topics, you can also practice a CLAT question paper from the previous year to analyse your performance. After attempting the paper, you can do a quick brush-up of topics, in which you score less.

Avoid any new topics

While revision and practice are important, do not pick any new topic for study during this last hour. With the remaining time left, strengthen what you already know and leave the rest. Picking a new topic at this stage can lead to confusion between different concepts. Also, it will cut into your time for revising and practicing CLAT questions. 

Keep marking scheme in mind

You should keep in mind that there is a negative marking in CLAT. For every wrong answer, 0.25 marks will be deducted from your total score. Therefore, do not make wild guesses in the paper. Only attempt questions about which you have some idea. 

Strategise time

You should focus on time management for the upcoming CLAT examination. There will be 150 passage-based questions that you have to attempt in two hours. Although there is no sectional time limit, you should strategise time for each CLAT section depending on your strengths for the subjects. During the exam, you should not spend too much time on a question. Ideally, you should spend less than a minute on each question. In case, you are not able to solve it in that time, skip and move to the next question.  

Check CLAT exam day instructions

The CLAT Consortium has released detailed CLAT exam day guidelines 2025 this year. You must go through all the guidelines released by the Consortium to avoid any hassle on the day of the exam. The guidelines give clarity on the list of important documents to carry, code of conduct inside the exam hall, safety measure at the centre and so on. Check a list of few important documents and things that mandatorily need to be carried to the test centre below:

  • CLAT admit card
  • Photo ID proof such as Voters’ ID Card, Passport, Aadhar Card, PAN Card, Driving License
  • Self-health declaration form
  • Disability certificate, if applicable
  • Attested photo, if the photograph printed on the admit card is not clear
  • Blue/black ball-point pen
  • Transparent water bottle
  • Face masks, gloves, sanitiser
  • Analogue watch

Sleep and eat well

Last but not least, to perform well in the exam, you mustn't take much stress and keep yourself calm. Eat well and have a sound sleep the night before the exam so that in the morning you are completely fresh and ready to sit for CLAT.

Many students feel the AILET exam is a bit tougher than CLAT because it has fewer seats and high competition. The AILET syllabus focuses more on reasoning and legal aptitude. Both tests need good preparation, but AILET 2027 usually has a higher cutoff for AILET colleges under NLU Delhi.

No. Since IIULER has officially joined the Consortium of NLUs, it no longer conducts a separate entrance test for admission to IIULER BA LLB (Hons.) course. Admission is strictly based on the CLAT (UG) merit list. If you miss the CLAT window, you generally cannot apply for that academic year.

Your CLAT rank acts as a direct "discount key" for your entire five-year journey at IIULER. If you work hard and rank in the top 5,000, your total expenditure drops significantly to INR 29,88,610. Even if your rank is between 10,001 and 15,000, you still benefit from a reduced total cost of INR 32,3
