Passing the CLAT exam without studying is highly unlikely, as it requires focused preparation to secure a good score. While some candidates might rely on prior knowledge or instincts, achieving success without adequate study is rare and risky. To pass CLAT, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of the syllabus, especially in Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, English, Current Affairs, and Quantitative Techniques. Skipping preparation may result in weak performance. Regular practice with mock tests, previous year papers, and staying updated with current affairs will enhance your chances of success in the exam.

The CLAT exam is conducted only in English. All questions, including those in the sections like Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, English Language, Current Affairs, and Quantitative Techniques, are presented in English. Therefore, a strong grasp of the English language, particularly reading comprehension and vocabulary, is essential for success. While the exam is conducted in English, candidates can still answer the questions in the provided language of choice, but understanding the exam's language is crucial for clear comprehension and accurate answers. Preparing in English will give you an edge for the CLAT exam.

In the CLAT exam, Legal Reasoning generally carries the maximum weightage, contributing around 35-39 questions. This section tests your ability to understand and apply legal principles in various scenarios, which is crucial for law aspirants. Next in importance is English Language, followed by Current Affairs, which includes general knowledge and legal updates. Logical Reasoning and Quantitative Techniques also play significant roles but typically have fewer questions compared to Legal Reasoning. To score well, prioritize Legal Reasoning by practicing case-based questions and ensuring a solid understanding of legal principles.

While NCERT textbooks are great for building a strong foundation in subjects like History, Geography, and Constitutional Law, they are not enough to clear CLAT 2026 on their own. The CLAT syllabus requires a deeper understanding of topics like Legal Reasoning, Current Affairs, and Advanced Logical Reasoning, which may not be fully covered by NCERT alone. To excel in CLAT, you need to supplement your studies with specialised CLAT preparation books, mock tests, newspapers for current affairs, and previous year papers. NCERT should be part of your preparation, but not the only resource.

A good score in the CLAT exam depends on the competition and the number of seats available, but typically, a score above 100-105 can be considered competitive. For top NLUs like National Law School of India University (NLSIU), a score around 110-115 or higher is generally required for securing a seat. However, scoring above 95-100 puts you in a strong position for other NLUs. Keep in mind that cutoffs vary yearly based on factors like the difficulty of the exam and the number of candidates. Aim for a score that places you well above the general cutoff for your desired NLU.

Studying from Arihant and NCERT can be a solid foundation for CLAT preparation, but they might not be sufficient on their own. Arihant provides comprehensive practice for legal and logical reasoning, while NCERT is essential for building strong basics in subjects like English, History, and Constitutional Law. However, CLAT requires a higher level of application, so supplement your studies with current affairs from newspapers like The Hindu or Indian Express, mock tests, and previous year papers. To maximize your chances, integrate a mix of resources, including specialised CLAT guides and legal aptitude materials.
