    7 Topics to Master If You Have Only 30 Days Left for CLAT

    Sansar Singh ChhikaraUpdated on 15 Oct 2026, 12:07 PM IST

    The Common Law Admission Test is the toughest law entrance exam in India. The CLAT 2027 syllabus is vast and comprises many topics and sub-topics. However, candidates can prepare smartly for CLAT 2027 if they manage to figure out what the important topics are and carry maximum weightage in the syllabus. When candidates enter the final phase of their preparation and only a month is left for the exam, candidates must strictly focus only on the important topics that carry good weightage. For example, puzzle-based logical reasoning has maximum weightage in the logical reasoning section; constitutional law & SC judgments form a major part of legal reasoning.
