 WHAT IS LLM?

LLM is the postgraduate degree in law. The Master of Law or LLM is a two-year course
offered at various colleges and universities. The course curriculum of the LLM degree is
divided into four semesters. In LLM, students gain in-depth knowledge of a specific field of
law by intensive research in that particular area of law.

In the LLM course, candidates need to select the law specialisation in which they want to
make their future. Thus, candidates can pursue their LLM degree in specialisations such as
constitutional law, criminal law, family law, corporate law, IPR, etc.
 IS LLM NECESSARY?
The above question might come in most of the law aspirants or those students who are
pursuing law. LLM basically is a master’s course or specialisation in specific type of law.
Most of the law graduates opt for pursuing LLM as it helps in the specialisation of a lawyer
and adds charms to the CV.

While the answer to the above question is no since one can practise as an advocate and
appear for the judiciary without an LLM, an LLM adds a specific skill set and knowledge to
one’s description and helps in corporate law firm placements. Moreover, lawyers with LLM
specialisation are favoured more as representatives rather than graduated lawyers.
ACQUIRING SKILLS
THROUGH LLM
An LLM course can equip you with a
number of qualities that can prove
useful when you wish to progress into
a career or pursue further legal
research. We hope that you can
acquire and develop the right set of
skills to make the best out of your
study. Some of the qualities one can acquire from an LLM course are:

Research and Critical Thinking Skills

The level of research that you undertake during an LLM study is quite advanced in
comparison to the work that you put in to draft a quick opinion for a client in response to a
legal query. However, time is an important factor in both cases and so is the depth of your
research. An LLM study will help you manage your time on research work and to make sure
that your writing is structured well.

Critical reading does not mean that you criticise content that you read, but that you question
concepts and analyse them through interactive discussions. Similarly, critical writing involves
choosing a theme that balances both critical thinking and workable suggestions. For instance,
in the course of your seminars you can ask questions about concepts, generate debate around
a topical issue, or share your thoughts on an approach which, in your opinion, does not fit
within the scope of a topic.

These thoughts can be translated into theses. It is important to mold your explanation into the
scope of the course through research inputs. Asking questions in class and engaging in
discussions is a good way of developing your critical mind.

Presentation and Communication Skills

In some law schools, LLM seminars include student presentations on topics of your choice or
as suggested by the lecturer. This gives you a good platform to put your research skills and
knowledge to test. You can improve upon your approaches by hearing your fellow students’
analyses. In addition, you will have ample opportunities to participate in legal research
seminars or conferences held in your law school. Keep an eye out for invitations to
participate in such forums as notices are put up well in advance.

You can also communicate your views on legal affairs and law school events by contributing
to your department’s newsletter. This can develop your media and communication skills and
give you wider exposure to topical discussions.

Project-based Work/Multi-tasking

Assessments at law school can expose you to several aspects of project-based work that you
would experience in law firms or in an in-house corporate team. They are similar to project-
based work that have specified scope of content, deadlines, recommended structure and
research methods. These are some of the elements that prepare you for the future. For
instance, your LLM thesis is a good example of seeing your own project to execution and
final submission.

During LLM study, you can take advantage of guidance sessions to prepare yourself for
assignments and thesis submissions. You can also seek advice from alumni.

By getting involved in different aspects of LLM student life, you will gain the key quality of
multi-tasking which can prove very useful in your professional career.

Inter-personal Skills and Team Activities

A lawyer’s interaction with his or her clients is key to developing and maintaining long-term
business relationships. It is therefore important that you engage in client management skills
through course of your LLM study. Some modules may require you to attend client-
counseling sessions, while others may look at professional development skills through case
examples.

By participating in group assignments, you will be exposed to team work and problem-
solving. Qualities such as efficiency, politeness and patience will be tested during these
assignments. On individual projects such as dissertations, skills such as time management and
multi-tasking can help you work your way through to final submission.

Attention to Detail and Taking in Complex Information

Being in the legal profession can be demanding and the ability to be able to take on several
tasks is the key to progress. On your LLM course you will take on intensive reading before
your seminars where you will peruse a long reading list to prepare yourself for class. For
assessment submissions, you will spend hours in the library scanning hundreds of scholarly
titles, but will only cite a few to support your arguments. Your acute sense of picking up on
critical information will prove very useful in the long run when you skim through client files.

Similarly, it is essential that you take in and analyse complex information in a short span of
time. One of the key skills that you develop whilst doing an LLM degree is to manage large
amounts of complex material. Methods such as mind mapping and highlighting key words are
useful to absorb vast amounts of information.
 CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AFTER LLM?
Law has always been significant in understanding the community we live in. This is not just
in one country but across the globe. Pursuing law opens tonnes of gateways for jobs.
Everything involves some sort of legal contract between the two parties which makes law one
of the most fertile territories in terms of profession and providing LLM job opportunities.

The world that we live in requires expertise and skill-based degree programs. There is a wider
scope after LLM because the degree offers expert and subject-oriented coursework. LLM is a
specialised degree; hence, LLM holders often land onto jobs which are subject-oriented.
Thus, pursuing an LLM degree opens promising career avenues in the legal sector.

An LLM leads to various professions which are thoroughly respected and appreciated in
society. Not only do these professions guarantee fiscal security but also ensure job
satisfaction. Here is a non-exhaustive list of professions which make sure an LLM graduate is
well placed and has the answer to the question: what after LLM?

Advocate

In such a job profile one needs to do a lot of research work to gather factual data as well as
physical evidence to support their claim. To perform his duties, he or she must have apt and
thorough knowledge of the country’s laws. This profession also requires an astute awareness
of human behaviour and psychology. Apart from this, other responsibilities allocated to
advocates include scrutinising and drafting contracts.

Civil Advocate

A lawyer who facilitates the settlement of individuals, claims, mortgages, guardianships,

divorce, and negligence cases.

Tax Advocate

A lawyer who deals with all forms of government taxation, including income tax, excise
duty, sales taxes, and concessions.

firms, to enter into numerous government contracts, contracting and acquisition arrangements
and to make certain other rights and decrees.

Solicitor

In such a job profile an individual usually specialises in a specific area of law like tax,
litigation, family or property. Solicitors offer legal advice to private and commercial clients.

Legal Advisor

Candidates opting to work in such a job profile are lawyers who specialise in a specific field
of law. Legal advisors are usually hired by governments as well as large organisations/
companies. The main task of a legal advisor is to protect their clients from legal implications
or consequences.

Legal Consultant or Legal Associate

A legal consultant or a legal associate assists in contract summarisation, contract

management, legal research, drafting, litigation and research- related projects. If one has
specialised knowledge of the subject, one successfully manages to grow as a consultant with
high paying offers.

Judge

This is a highly respected as well as regarded position in a legal career or in the judicial
system of any country. One has to ensure that justice is administered and legal rights of all
the involved parties are safeguarded. A judge presides over trials/hearings wherein they listen
to case presented by lawyers. In order to be a judge, one needs to be well nuanced with
subject knowledge and skills.

Legal Document Reviewer

A legal document reviewer or a derivative’s job is to negotiate and review various kinds of
legal documents, such as draft responses and ancillary documents.

Trustee

A trustee is under a legal obligation to administer property for a specified purpose.

Notary Public

Individuals are hired in such a job profile by the central government for the whole or specific
part of the country. Any person who has been practicing law (as a lawyer) for 10 years is
eligible to apply for a notary post. The tasks performed by a Notary are as follows:

● To verify, authenticate, clarify or attest the execution of any instrument.

● To translate and verify the translation, of any document from one language to another.
● To administer an oath to or take an affidavit from any person.
● To act as a commissioner, to record evidence in any civil or criminal trial if so
directed by the court or authority.
● To act as arbitrator, mediator or conciliator if so required.

Therefore, scope and opportunities increase multifold after obtaining an LLM. LLM
graduates are often employed as lawyers, legal consultants, advisors, solicitors, legal writers,
or in the Indian Legal Services.

The world that we live in requires expertise in every field and law is no different. Pursuing an
LLM degree opens promising career opportunities and avenues in the legal sector. After
completion of the LLM degree, there are career options pertaining to both the public and
private sectors. Both the sectors hire LLM degree holders who are professionals and have
immense knowledge of the subject and the field. It is a universal fact that LLM graduates are
preferred over normal law degree holders because they are deemed as better professionals
and more knowledgeable. LLM holders often land onto jobs which are subject-oriented.
Thus, pursuing an LLM degree opens promising career avenues in the legal sector.
After completion of the LLM degree, there are career options in the legal field pertaining to
both the public and private sectors – such as consultancies, corporates, courthouses, financial
services, FMCGs, international organisations, law firms, media and publishing houses, and
NGOs. Both the sectors hire LLM degree holders who are professionals with sheer acumen
and astute knowledge of the subject.

 HOW TO FIND YOUR TRUE INTEREST?

Are you confused about choosing the right subject for specialisation? Let us clear your
confusion!

What area of law are you passionate about? What was your favourite subject in your
undergraduate course? This may be the subject that interested you the most, or the one you
found particularly easy to learn. If given a chance, would you choose that subject as your
specialisation and start your career in that particular field? Are you confused between two
specialisations?

It is important to decide this because an LLM implies an immense amount of research and
case study. If it is not from your area of interest, you might find it difficult, hectic,
uninteresting, and futile if you do not wish to take up a career in that area.

• Are you confused between two specializations?

It is important to find since you’ll have to do an immense amount of research and case study.

If it is not from your area of interest, you might find it difficult and hectic.

There are certain factors one must keep in mind:

In your home country and abroad

2. What is the scope of the specialization.

a career in.

4. Area of law that interests you

The LLM you pick will be mostly influenced by the modules taken by you during your undergraduate
course. It is important to have basic knowledge in the area in which you wish to pursue higher studies.

entrance exams. Most of the law entrance exams conducted for admission in UG level law
courses evaluate candidates on the basis of their aptitude/ knowledge on subjects such as
General Knowledge, English, Mathematics (Numerical Ability), Logical Reasoning and
Legal Aptitude. On the other hand, popular law exams for PG level law courses comprise
questions from subject areas such as Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence and other law
subjects (Contract, Torts, Criminal Law, International Law, Environment Law and Human
Rights Law, etc.).

Strategy to deal with law entrance exams for LLM
Solve as many MCQs as you can: As this year's exam consists of Comprehensive based
questions, one should do exhaustive reading to tackle any multiple-choice question. Solving
question papers is a great confidence booster for some. In case you want to practice mock
tests.
Prepare for the CLAT LLM entrance exam?
Typically, the syllabus for these exams includes most of the subjects from the LLB course.
There are some nuances, like extra emphasis on Jurisprudence & Constitutional law in some
exams, some topics are dropped out completely in AIBE etc.
So, solving previous papers helps in getting familiar with the questions, pattern and syllabus.
Also, there are important questions which are often repeated from previous years and also
adapted or variations from other exams. I can confidently say that if you are thorough with
previous papers + selected important questions, you can easily score 85%+ in these exams.
With extensive practice, you can easily identify the answers to most questions; saving time to
think and answer the unfamiliar questions.
For example; if you get a question “which article of the constitution talks about the Right to
Equality?”. Studying theory will help you understand the background, the implication and
nuances of the article - but for MCQ based questions, you just need to know the answer; even
if you don’t know the theory.
Before I begin, let me explain the CLAT exam pattern
The CLAT examination had a total of 150 questions with a maximum score of 150 points,
with each question worth one point. The 150 questions would be asked majorly from three
sections including Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence and other legal topics – Law of
Contracts, Law of Torts, Criminal Law, International Law, Family Law, Property Law,
Intellectual Property Law, etc.
Now come to the strategy section. Follow these steps if you want to do well on the exam:
● Create a practical study plan: It’s always good to have a perfect study plan.
Without a good study plan, you won’t be able to score well.
● Make a list: Make a list of what you’ve to study and what not. You’ve to crack
the entrance not research.
● Break up of time: Make a strategy of how much time you need for a particular
section. It’s important to do so.
● Prepare notes: Make your notes in your own style. If you’ll ask for my
suggestion, I’ll suggest you for Bullet Points.
● Plan your own Exam strategy: I’ve seen many students copying others’
strategy, don’t do that. That’s man-to-man thing.
● Train your mind for the exam: Train your mind to cope up with anxiety and
over excitement.
 ● Practice previous years question papers: By solving previous year papers
you’ll learn about the type of questions they will throw at you.
● Time management: Time is precious. Maximum people sitting in the
examination hall can solve all those questions, but very few could do that with
limited time and those who can do that in limited time, they’ll make their way to
NLUs.
● Make your own way to approach the question: Once again, I’ll say, it’s a
man-to-man thing. Prepare on your own.

How to prepare for LLM:

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
1. M. Laxmikanth (Indian Polity for Civil Services)
This book will give you a lot of data on which you are often tested in the exams. So, who was
the first CAG, or CVC or when was the Emergency first imposed, or what did the 10th
Schedule to the Constitution earlier contain and many more. This book does a fantastic job of
answering such questions. So, this book is a must for all CLAT aspirants intending to get into
PSU’s or esteemed NLU’s.
2. Bare act of Indian Constitution
There is no substitute for a bare act (emphasis supplied). A lot of questions are directly
answered from the Bare act in every examination. CLAT is not different. For e.g. The criteria
set forth in Article 15(1) differ from those set forth in Article 29. (2). This can be appreciated
only when one reads the bare act thoroughly. So, a thorough reading of the Bare act atleast
twice is sine-qua-non. Laxmikanth and DD Basu do not cover the bare act well.
3. Case-laws
For case-laws one may have to refer to some source. Both Laxmikant and DD Basu do not
cover case-laws well. So for recent case-laws, online sources
like www.livelaw.com or www.legallyindia.com or www.blog.scconline.com will suffice.
But for the older case-laws, a J.N. Pandey or V.N. Shukla might be useful. (Please note: I am
not suggesting that you read Pandey or Shukla entirely. They can be used for looking up for
important case-laws.)
4. MCQ’s (Multiple Choice Questions)
Solve as many MCQ’s as possible from as many sources as possible. Also, do not miss out on
seeing the questions in the past years’ papers of the CLAT. They provide you a good sense of
the types of questions that you might be asked.
JURISPRUDENCE (50 questions – 1 mark each)
1. Dr. N. V. Paranjape
This is an ideal book for Jurisprudence law. It is one of the most lucid books of Jurisprudence
law. There are many foreign authors who have written more or less the same thing in a
language which is extremely difficult to understand. So, I do not suggest that you read
foreign authors for CLAT exam - the reason being that most of the questions that get framed
will have their answer in either Paranjape or V.D. Mahajan.
2. V.D. Mahajan
This is an exhaustive source of Jurisprudence law. A lot many topics that Paranjape doesn’t
cover are covered well by V.D. Mahajan. If you can cover this book well, then there is no
point picking up Paranjape for another source. The only problem is that Paranjape is written
in a very simple language and is not as exhaustive as Mahajan, so often students choose
Paranjape. This is because, in an ideal world, one would finish Jurisprudence from one source
and then continue to learn more by reading other sources. If that is your strategy, then go for
Paranjape or else Mahajan has more information.
3. Online Videos
There are many online videos that one can rely upon for developing an understanding of
Jurisprudence law. But you can rely upon this only to get your preparation started. For a
sound understanding, a proper book is absolutely necessary.
4. MCQ’s (Multiple Choice Questions)
The majority of Jurisprudence questions are predictable. If you can solve all the questions
and remember the answers from the different guides and Past Years MCQ’s of UPSC &
CLAT on Jurisprudence, I assure you that Jurisprudence section will be a cakewalk. Because
there is always a lack of time, it is impossible to do questions from various guides, but even
one source, if attentively solved, will be incredibly valuable. Most of the questions get
repeated in other sources.
SECTION C – MISCELLANEOUS LAWS - (50 questions – 1 mark each)
In my opinion, Section C is frequently the game-changer. Many students who study well for
CLAT have a strong understanding of constitutional and jurisprudence law. However, few
people can claim to be confident in their Section C preparation because you can be tested on
a wide range of legislation. However, the trick to ace this section is to study Contract, Torts,
IPC, extremely well. These three laws have to be studied really well as maximum number of
questions cover these laws. There can also be questions about Environmental Law, Human
Rights, IPR, etc. but this can only be known once the syllabus for the next year is out which
usually comes out on 1st January of every year. Some suggested books:
a) Contract Law – Bare act and R.K. Bangia/ Avtar singh
b) Indian Penal Code – Bare act and KD Gaur/S.N. Mishra
c) Tort Law – R.K. Bangia
How much time you needed for preparation?
CLAT is not tough to crack it for a 5-year undergraduate course or be it for the Masters. All
you need is proper time management. There is much less rivalry for LL.M. programs than
there is for undergraduate programs. CLAT LL.M. attracts over 5000 students.
By following a reliable source, you may quickly prepare for CLAT LLM. I gave CLAT by
studying LL.M. entrance book by A.K. Jain. You can devote 2–3 hours daily from now
onwards as you will also be giving your exams of the final semester in the month of May. Be
positive and consistent towards your preparation.
There is no better coaching for CLAT LLM. If you really want to do well in CLAT LLM,
you should acquire Ashok Kumar Jain’s LLM guide and practice all of the questions in it.
This book has a good summary of all subjects as well as a good number of questions are
given for practice. If you answer these questions and read such summary more than two
times, your chances of getting good rank.
Books one should refer to for a good score on the CLAT LLM entrance
exam:
The CLAT LLM admission exam is entirely focused on how much you study during your
five years of law school and how clear and crisp your notions are; the paper level is
extremely high and this I can say it with conviction because I have given the 2017 edition and
cleared it and secured admission at National Law University Odisha.
Now coming back to the books that would be useful are Ashok Jain guide for LLM Entrance,
bare acts are a must if you want to score above 80, also refer to LLM guides namely
Singhal’s SS Handbook for LLM Entrance exam.

The important topics for LLM CLAT examination

1. Constitution - Fundamental Rights (clauses and sub clauses are important),
DPSP, Union Executive, Emergency, Article 300, Constitutional Bodies.
2. Jurisprudence- all the schools, Books and authors, every thinker and their
quotes
3. Others - Torts, International Law, IPR

What is the best approach to get into an LLM program in India

using CLAT/AILET?
Working hard on your concepts is the best approach to pass CLAT for LLM programs in
India. It will also be highly advantageous if you have been practicing previous year’s CLAT
LLM papers.

WHEN AND HOW TO START PREPARING FOR LL.M?
The recent pattern of LL.M tests has grown to be more demanding and lengthier; every
student should know when to begin. As a result, every law student must maintain a
minimum of a 6-month time frame in mind in order to make suitable preparations.
CLAT isn’t a game where everyone starts at the same level and works their way up to the top.
Instead, it is a test in which each student begins at a distinct level. Every candidate has a
passion for something specific. Some people may find jurisprudence questions easier to
answer than constitutional law ones, and vice versa. Follow your gut instincts rather than
what others say. Work on the issue that interests you the most.
● SUBJECT ANALYSIS- There should be subject analysis; you should be able to do a
thorough analysis of the issue. You should be aware of the most significant things as
well as the least important subjects. The most significant subjects are constitutional
law, advanced jurisprudence, and international law, while contract law and
environmental law should be given the least attention.
● IMPORTANCE OF CURRENT AFFAIR- With the analysis of the all the subjects,
you should make it a regular practice to read current affairs because it will keep you
informed about latest developments, amendments, and updates that will help you
cover secondary subjects. And also, you should keep the chart of all the important and
relevant cases of the topics that you cover. As well as you need to maintain a habit of
reading faster, which can be developed with the mock trials and the test that you will
take. Make sure your preparation isn’t boring.
● CURRENT AFFAIRS AND READING PRACTICE- Keep yourself up to date
with current events. Getting to know the most recent issues will also benefit you in
law school. After reading one book thoroughly, move on to the next. Don’t pile ten
novels on your table and stress yourself out over finishing them all. Read a lot, but do
it correctly. Also, don’t forget to read the newspapers. Many questions have been
raised as a result of recent rulings. As the current tendency focuses more on case laws,
be comprehensive with recent landmark cases. Make a study schedule that you can
stick to – make a study schedule that works for you. Make a plan that best meets your
needs. Instead of setting large goals, start with smaller ones. It is tough to achieve
good results without a strong study plan. Make a study schedule and stick to it.
● PREVIOUS YEAR QUESTION PAPER- Solve papers from previous years. The
most significant component of studying for an online exam is to solve previous year’s
 papers. Additionally, previous year papers might assist you understand the current
trend and which sections are being prioritized. Solve the papers as many times as
necessary to clear your doubts.
● IMPORTANCE OF MOCK TEST- Take as many mock tests as you can. It is
beneficial to solve mock problems. It’s not only about taking mocks; it’s also about
analysing them, so set aside another 120 minutes after each mock to review your
mistakes and plan solutions.
● CORRECT TIME MANAGEMENT- Make a strategy for how much time you’ll
need for each subject/section to get the most out of your time.
● SOLVING MCQs- Because this year’s exam has Comprehensive-based questions,
any multiple-choice question should be approached with caution. For some people,
completing question papers boosts their confidence. If you want to practise mock
tests, this is the place to go.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR ENTRANCE EXAM
Students, in order to effectively practice to clear the entrance exams at different levels, must
follow some basic but important guidelines: Develop a habit of reading: The first hack to
crack entrance exam is to develop a reading habit- be it a newspaper, novel, books,
biographies, and case studies.

What strategies will you use to prepare for your final exam
•Seven Final Exam
•Strategies for Success
•Create a Study Schedule.
•Study with a Positive
•Attitude and Clear
Direction.
•Utilize the Resources Available to You.
•Explain What You Are Studying to Another Person.
•Avoid Distractions.
•Prepare, Prepare, and Prepare Some More.
Take Care of You, Too

Course of preparation for law entrance does not come really easy; one should be mentally and
physically ready to put in the hard work. Syllabus for the entrance test is wide and so the
aspirant needs to be self-motivated and focused on their goals. The candidate should try and
attempt as many mock tests he or she can so as to improve your accuracy and speed.
Test day requires deliberate and persistent practice, and also effective stress-management
techniques.
1.The best method to practice for the LSAT is to solve the prior actual tests. It is an excellent
way to familiarize you with the exam structure/format and serves as a good means to identify
gaps that need to be plugged. You should be well-familiar with even the test instructions and
question types to avoid any surprises on the examination day.

2.Students should consult some good preparation material for advice and strategy on tackling
various question types, especially tricky ones such as “logic games”.
3.Pacing is key. Solving only all the test problems is not enough for a high score; the real test
requires you to be accurate under timed. Progressing with your preparation, make sure you
solve the practice exams in conditions that mimic the actual test conditions as closely as
possible.

4.Timed practice tests are significantly important; the job of a student is not complete till a
feedback loop is in place. Evaluating the wrong answers makes it highly probable that you
discover your weaknesses and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future.
Many students assume that just sitting for the practice exams is enough; deliberate practice is
vital to improving your score.

5.While it is important to put in dedicated hours of preparation every day to keep your mind
sharp, and cramming for the test over weekends has ever diminishing returns. The similar
duration of a study done over a longer period also utilizes the spacing effect which has
proven to be quite effective in studying. Remember: it is a marathon, not a sprint.

6.No negative marking for incorrect answer choices, you should not leave any question.
Process of elimination helps quite a lot in making educated guesses. It is also important to not
get bogged down by a particular question as all of them carry equal weight.

7.It is crucial to be cautious while learning from preparation questions that are not coming
from actual prior tests, the “model LSAT questions”. There is frequently a high chance that
they do not adequately represent the type of questions that appear on the actual test.
LSAT is a copy-based test; it is a good idea to practice solving the questions by using scratch
paper. Particularly for logic games, it is good to put your diagramming skills to use as it is
easy to get entangled amongst all the variables and their relationships.

Suggested readings for the preparation of Law Entrance Exams

Hindu, Indian Express &
New Indian Express.

Few key points for other LL.M exams are-
● Building a timeline is a constructive strategy.
● Practicing mock examinations and question papers from past years
● Investing in high-quality, dependable study materials
● Understand the exam format.
● Understand the grading system.
● Examine and practice
● Solving AILET previous year question papers has proven to be a good idea because it
allows the candidate to get a sense of the kind of questions that will be asked in the
test as well as the difficulty level.
● Mock tests are a great method to get a feel for what it’s like to take an exam. This is a
commendable method of reducing exam anxiety. Mock examinations have been
shown to help students improve their exam time management skills.
● When you get the opportunity, go over everything you’ve learned again. Make a list
of your weak spots and work on them. Use just the most up-to-date study materials.
There is an abundance of study material available on the internet.
● Make it a habit to read the newspaper every day. The Hindu is a good publication to
read if you want to prepare for AILET 2021.
● Make time for revision because it will help you remember facts and keep your
preparation up to date.
● Despite the fact that LSAT India does not place a high value on past knowledge,
students must nonetheless study for the exam. Candidates should focus on improving
their reading and analytical skills during their LSAT India preparation. The following
pointers will assist candidates in developing a comprehensive LSAT India preparation
strategy. It will be advantageous to build analytical and critical thinking abilities for
the LSAT India, which contains a substantial weightage of subjects that need a
candidate to analyse the text. Reading articles and editorials can help you develop
these skills. Candidates must study the papers from multiple perspectives and develop
conclusions while doing so.
Make a list of what you’ve accomplished so far and what you still have to do. You’re
studying for a test rather than conducting research. Checking the list makes your preparation
easier and allows you to see what sections remain. It’s crucial to keep track of your time.
Don’t squander your time. Concentrate on your study and take frequent breaks. Sitting for
long periods of time is never healthy; in fact, it can be harmful.
Lots of practice is required. Simply practicing will assist you in obtaining a spot at your
selected college. Don’t get discouraged by your low scores; instead, prepare for the next
mock and give it your all. In each mock, try to improve little by little.
SUBJECT WISE TIPS AND STRATEGIES TO STUDY
DIFFERENT SUBJECTS
To succeed, you must develop a comprehensive exam preparation method. Most experts
advise applicants to structure their preparation around the subtleties and challenges that each
portion of the national-level law exam presents. Then there are those who advocate for a daily
study practice as a success mantra. It’s a good idea to approach the exam preparation in a
methodical manner. CLAT hopefuls must have a thorough understanding of all sections, be
familiar with the question format, and concentrate on the most important aspects of the law
entrance exam. The objective and descriptive components of the question paper will be
separated into two pieces. It’s worth noting that the description section has been reinstated.
Because the exam was administered online last year, the descriptive portion, which included
two essays, was deleted from the syllabus. The PG-CLAT 2021 objective component will be
a comprehension-based test that will include excerpts from major legal documents such as
important court decisions in various fields of law, statutes, and regulations. Following each
comprehension passage, there will be a series of multiple-choice questions that will assess the
following abilities:
● Read and comprehend the legal concerns presented in the passage and recognize
arguments and points of view.
● Understanding of the concerns raised in the passage. Aspects of the law, facts, and
knowledge pertaining to the subject at hand are all discussed.
● Knowledge of the decision or statute that the passage is founded on.
● Summarizing the passage and demonstrating the ability to apply the legal knowledge
provided in the passage.
Candidates will be required to prepare TWO essays in this part. Each essay should have a
word count of no more than 800 words. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate the
following abilities in this section.
1. Understanding of the legal, factual, and philosophical issues raised by the essay (or
question).
2. Ability to structure your response and clearly provides multiple arguments and
perspectives linked to the question’s topic, as well as make conclusions.
The few parameters to follow while the preparation is-
1. The overall study time for everyday to prepare for the exam should be around 8 to 12
hours.
 2. The time that should be given for the preparation of CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
should be given around 2 to 3 hours each day.
3. The time that should be given for other law subjects like IPR, Torts, Contracts,
Criminal Law, International Law, and Jurisprudence is around 3 to 4 hours each
day.
4. The essay on the contemporary topics of law should be given the time around 1 to 1.5
hours.
5. The mock tests or sample papers are very important and should be taken every day
at least twice.
6. The days given to the revision are crucial and you definitely should give at least 10 to
20 days.
Few important points to keep in mind while preparing for the exam are-
⮚ Sort the subjects from most significant to least important based on their importance
and your comprehension. For example, Advanced Jurisprudence, Constitutional
Law, and International Law are the most significant topics in CLAT PG, whereas
Environmental Law and Contract Act are the least important.
⮚ Every day, keep up with current events by staying informed about revisions, recent
legal developments and revisions
⮚ While studying legal concepts, devote effort to the relevant mapping of cases. Learn
about current cases, technological advancements, and historical landmarks.
⮚ Mock tests and plenty of comprehension-based exercises are recommended. They
boost productivity and cultivate the habit of reading more quickly, saving time.
⮚ Solve as many practice exams, sample questions, and previous year’s exam papers as
you can.
⮚ Examine your weak spots and invest extra work in places where you might improve.
⮚ Allow enough time for revision at the conclusion.
⮚ Take constitutional quizzes, they are available online. The mock tests are very
important as you will come to know about where you stand and in what subjects you
have to improve and do better.

RELEVANCE OF COACHING
The Law Coaching institutes are spread all across
India offering the best training for all the popular
law entrance exams in India. It’s difficult to come up
with a single name. As someone who has been
dealing with CLAT aspirants for quite some times,
I’d say anyone crowning a single coaching institute
as THE BEST has either missed out on a number of things. Things to be taken care while
deciding the coaching institute are history of any institute, infrastructure, faculty, success rate
and number of students.
Following are some of the coaching institutes which fit in the above-mentioned criteria:
• Career Launcher (LST)
• CLATAPULT
• CLAT Possible
• IMS
• Sriram Law Academy
• Unacademy (New and at the comfort of your home)
• T.I.M.E
• Paradygmlaw
• Co Draft Academy of Law

Jurist Academy, Delhi Judicial Academy, Success Manta, Drishti etc. Results of Juris
Academy have been excellent. All of the lecturers and teachers are highly trained and
experienced DU Law professors, judges, and practicing attorneys. They will shortly begin
their small, result-oriented batches, which will have a limited number of seats. You can also
watch their trial classes for their website. Other academies are in law and other competitive
exams.
All About Joining Coaching Institution
Each of these institutes specializes in something different; for example, LST was the first law
preparation coaching and was formed by a NLSUI graduate.

NUJS graduates or students as faculty.

were accepted into the best colleges in the country.
Truth be told, coaching only support you through the process, it is the spirant who decides
whether he/she is going to qualify or not. It is to be done through hard work and preparation.
It is true the one can crack CLAT without coaching. One simply needs to look how to prepare
for the CLAT exam without coaching. This means one must know what to study, how much
to study, which topics to prioritize, source materials. Tips to prepare without coaching are
starting early, manage your time, revise, believe in one or two mentors, prepare proper
material.
The main reason to join coaching institution are there are no problems while preparing.
During preparation aspirants often a loose path, they get distracted by little highlights of other
people and they don’t know what’s exactly relevant for them and what not. Coaching
institution helps them to be on the right path avoiding any distractions. Coaching Provides
proper material for preparation ready-made, while preparing on your own, you need to search
by your own. And most importantly coaching institution gives you perfect strategies and time
management skills for preparation and for exams too.

Sometimes, you might feel the idea of dropping preparation, but please
remember CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS.
Most of the LLM exams demand the similar style of preparation and the
syllabus is also quite similar. It is totally a part of 5 years or 3 years law
programme. So start from the very beginning or at the earliest to crack it
without much difficulty in re-reading the same texts again and again.
