Candidates preparing for CLAT 2025 need to start early. The exam is competitive and seats offered by prestigious NLUs are limited, so a well-rounded CLAT preparation is required to secure a good rank in the examination. The CLAT exam is also one of the lengthiest law entrance exams in India, testing high-level reading, critical thinking and analytical skills of the candidates.
Given below are the section wise preparation tips for the five sections in the CLAT syllabus 2025.
One of the most important sections, the CLAT legal reasoning and aptitude section requires candidates to demonstrate basic level of understanding of laws along with critical thinking abilities. Given below are a few preparation tips for legal reasoning for CLAT.
English language is important not only because there is a section dedicated to it, but also because the entire question paper of CLAT is in English and requires a high level of reading and comprehension. Talking about the English language section, questions will be asked from comprehension passages that may be taken from recent news articles, magazines, and journals. Given below are easy preparation tips for this section.
This section focuses on testing the critical thinking and problem-solving abilities of candidates. Apart from some questions on one-liner statements and conclusions, most of CLAT logical reasoning section also contains questions from comprehension paragraphs and requires the candidate to read the arguments and draw conclusions, relationships, or analogies in their answers.
One of the most crucial sections in the CLAT 2025 exam, the general knowledge and current affairs preparation has dominant effects on legal aptitude and English. It is not because the syllabus overlaps in these sections, but because the skills tested in these would largely overlap. Fast reading is required for CLAT GK and current affairs, and it is also a much-needed skill for English and Legal reasoning. The CLAT current awareness may have some straightforward questions on topics of social, political and economic importance, but some questions will also be asked about current legal affairs. Some preparation tips are given below.
This section carries only 10% weight but can be a determining factor for CLAT aspirants. Although it tests basic maths skills, the framework of questions can be twisted to make it look like paragraphs with numbers. Candidates with good mathematical skills stand a good chance to capitalise on this section and secure full 10% marks which can make a decisive impact on their results. Here are a few preparation tips.
The Consortium of NLUs has released the second CLAT 2025 sample paper online on September 28, 2024.

After declaring the results, the consortium will open the window to add NLU preferences instead of the last year's practice of filling the preferences at the time of registration. Candidates can add their CLAT NLU preferences through their login. Filling NLU preferences after the results gives the candidate the benefit of filling up the NLUs as per their expected performance in the exam based on the answer key.
Candidates can obtain CLAT 2025 seat allotment in only those NLUs which are part of their preferences given at the time of registration. Therefore, candidates must try to provide maximum NLU choices in the order of their preference. Candidates can rely on the CLAT 2025 marks vs rank analysis to decide which NLU provides them the maximum chance of admission for their CLAT score. The analysis is given below.
For candidates, it is important to know the rank, a particular CLAT score will translate into. An awareness of the CLAT marks vs rank analysis will help candidates formulate a preparation strategy that gets into their preferred NLUs. The table given below provides the analysis of CLAT marks vs rank.
