What your study-plan should look like
To help you plan properly we have given below an idea to move forwards:
Having a well-structured study plan is crucial when you start early. Here's how you can approach it:
Year 1 (Class 11):
- Work specifically on strengthening your base in each and every section. You should invest this year in just making your base strong in English, Legal Reasoning, and Logical Reasoning.
- Do make a habit to read atleast one newspaper or magazine daily. This will help you to stay up to date.
- Make sure you practice basic mathematics and upgrade your skills.
Year 2 (Class 12):
Since by now you have build a strong base, it's time to focus on more advanced topics. Invest your time to take regular mock test to understand the CLAT Exam Pattern. Make sure you revise daily of whatever you are learning. As the exam date comes near by, appear for more mock test. Try to track your time and how accurate you are able to solve your paper.

The last date to submit the application form is October 31, 2025. It must be noted that the consortium will open the application correction window after that. Sometimes the consortium do extend the last date for registration but it is better to fill the form way before and why to wait.
