CLAT 2026 Topper Chhavi Poplani says 'Analysed my mistakes after each mock tests'

CLAT UG 2026 Topper Chhavi Poplani, in an exclusive interview with shiksha.com, discussed how her right strategy and plan helped her to bag not only a CLAT Rank under 50 but also emerge as Jaipur Topper. "After every mock, I sat for analysis and checked whether I was repeating mistakes. This way, I got to know which topic or section was troublesome, and then I used to interact with the faculty of the respective subject and they guided me on how to work on it. And my strength was GK because I used to revise it daily," she said. 

Q. Congratulations! Did you expect to be the topper of CLAT 2026?
Honestly, deep down, I believed that I may be able to make it into the college I was targeting for all the efforts I had put in. I was confident that I had prepared sincerely and consistently for CLAT 2026. But ranking under 50 and being a Jaipur Topper came as a surprise to me, and I was so amazed.

Q. What was the preparation strategy that helped you crack CLAT 2026?
I had been preparing for 2 years alongside my schoolwork. I worked on weak areas and gave mocks of many variations. I followed everything my teachers advised. I showed up even on low motivation days. I focused on reading newspapers, editorials and worked on vocabulary. My main focus was on building accuracy with speed.
Q. How did you manage time between board exams and entrance exam prep?
This was somewhat troublesome, but I managed because I prioritised CLAT over board exams. I knew after CLAT, I would have a month to prepare for board exams. Being a humanities student, this was manageable. Also, my school was very supportive during the entire process.

Q. What study plan did you follow for this exam?
I used to revise current affairs daily. Apart from that, I used to do 2-2 subjects on alternate days. This way, I could practice all the subjects. Along with practice, I used to regularly revise legal concepts. And QT practice was a must. Alongside, I also did Analytical reasoning practice regularly as I was also preparing for AILET .
Q. Which books did you read to prepare for the exam?
I read only the preparation material given by the coaching institute. It covered everything important for the exam: vocabulary, CLAT Express, and practice modules.
Q. How did you deal with your strengths and weaknesses while preparing for the exam?
After every mock, I sat for analysis and checked whether I was repeating mistakes. This way, I got to know which topic or section is troublesome, and then I used to interact with the faculty of the respective subject and they guided me on how to work on it. And my strength was GK because I used to revise it daily.

Q. Was law always your first preference?
Yes I decided to pursue law when I was in 4th standard. This career attracted me more than any other because of my personality. I love arguing with facts, forming opinions and standing my ground.
Q. Any tips for students who are planning to take the exam next year?
Revise regularly, give as many mocks as you can, practice in a time-bound manner without compromising your accuracy, and interact with the faculty of subjects to be guided in a structured way.

No, a domicile certificate is not mandatory for all candidates. It is only required if you intend to claim a reservation/ seat under state quota (offered by specific NLUs). Students can skip this document if they are applying solely under the All-India open category.

CLAT does not give a fixed number for grammar. The exam is fully passage-based. Grammar is tested inside English Language, which carries around 20% weightage.

You will see contextual sentence completions. You will also see sentence-improvement, pronoun reference, parallelism and meaning-based questions. All come inside English Language passages.
