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.”

No, CLAT is generally considered more difficult than CUET as CLAT exam requires more intense reading and preparation. It also involves intense time pressure as candidates are required to read around 15,000 words across 30 passages before answering the questions.
