Counselling - 7 Jan '26
By: Sajal Jain
Once upon a time, I was also a Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) aspirant like you. Although I had started my preparation after my board examination, my right strategy gave me success in top National Law University in Odisha in 2017.
However, due to poor health conditions, I had to give another attempt and I ended up securing a place in Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) in 2018. Yet again my destiny took me somewhere else, I am right now pursuing BCom final year from Ram Krishna Dharmarth Foundation, Bhopal.

Belief in yourself: Stay positive till your final examination. You will have to believe in yourself that you can do it, & have faith in yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others & focus more on your performance & start your day with 30-minute meditation it will keep your mind fresh.
Less is more: If you go to the market you will find a lot of things study materials which are available. Spend 10-15 days and finalise your study material but once you will decide, don’t change it at any cost. Do not buy 10 books it’s better to read two but with honesty.

Mock Test: From day 1, I started giving mock tests. Analysis of mock is important which most of the aspirants fail to do. Keep in mind if you are giving a mock of 120 minutes then at least try to spend 60 minutes on analysis because it is important to understand where you are lacking.

Coaching: Enroll in any good coaching only for test series. Refer to the past five years’ question paper and practice more. Keep in mind that time is less so set the timer before starting any mock. LAW SCHOOL 101 will give you free mock to solve if you can’t afford any mock series. Once you do all this religiously, you will come out with flying colours in the upcoming CLAT exam.

No, CLAT scores are not imp. to get admissions into the BBA LLB course at Kirit P. School of Law. Because the institute is affiliated with NMIMS, and the institute accepts the relevant scores of NMIMS LAT too. Thus, you can enrol for the course with relevant scores in CLAT and NMIMS LAT too.

No, you don't have to take the CLAT 2026 exam to get admission in Chandigarh University. Instead, you must take the university's own entrance examination, the CUCET (Chandigarh University Common Entrance Test), which is very simple to pass. The best thing is that if you score well in CUCET, you can

Yes, you can absolutely prepare for CLAT and UPES ULSAT together, as they share significant syllabus overlap (Legal/Logical Reasoning, GK, English, Quant), making integrated preparation efficient; focus on core areas for both but tailor extra practice for ULSAT's specific GK/current affairs and CLAT
