A resident of Kanpur city, Pranav had appeared for CLAT UG six years ago but could not crack the exam. Elaborating on the same, Pranav shared, “Six years ago, there was little awareness about CLAT in my hometown, Kanpur. I wrote the exam without any preparation and missed it by few marks. If I had prepared, I would have definitely been selected in CLAT UG as well. I don’t think that there is any difference between CLAT UG and PG. Both require same hard work.”
An extremely dedicated student, Pranav did not take any coaching for the exam. According to him, regular study at home and sincerity in the classroom made him achieve Rank 1 in the exam.
When we asked which books a student should study for CLAT preparation, Pranav responded, “Bare Act study is must. Apart from that, similar books are prescribed in the curriculum in almost every university.”
Talking about how he dealt with his strengths and weaknesses while preparing for the exam, Pranav said, “I am in the habit of creating a balance between both of them through firm determination.”

Based on recent CLAT analyses, the English Language and General Knowledge & Current Affairs sections were rated as the easiest. English is more about reading comprehension with direct questions. GK is highly scoring for those with consistent, up-to-date daily news preparation.

Many people think it's ahead of some low-tier NLUs (Tier 2 or Tier 3). But the top NLUs like NLSIU Bengaluru or NLU Delhi st
