MENTORACLAT Preparation Tips 2026
Consortium of National Law Universities · Reviewed by Mentora’s academic team
How do you prepare for CLAT?
- Build fast, accurate reading comprehension — every section is passage-based, so reading speed directly drives your score.
- Read newspapers and quality current-affairs sources daily, focusing on legal, political and international developments.
- For Legal Reasoning, practise applying given principles to fact scenarios rather than memorising law — no prior legal knowledge is expected.
- Brush up Class 9–10 arithmetic, percentages, ratios and data interpretation for Quantitative Techniques.
- Take full-length and sectional mocks to manage the 120-questions-in-2-hours pace and handle negative marking wisely.
- Use the Consortium’s official sample papers to align with the current comprehension-heavy format.
