• Plan well ahead at least one year before

• Do as many as possible previous/mock test papers

• Solve previous papers of CLAT, LAWCET for 3 years and 5 years.

• Attempt previous papers of PG LAWCET

• Attempt Polity, GK & CA questions meant for UPSC & other recruitment tests.

• Read Constitution of India thoroughly up to Chapter VI (up to 150 Articles including Preamble)

• Make a note of your own for quick revision.

My sincere advice to the younger generation is to “work hard for successful careers”. Don’t waste your precious time on petty things like video games and over-indulging in social networking sites.
