With the CLAT 2026 exam nearing, the only advice anyone will give aspirants is to practice as many mock tests as they can. Practising regular CLAT mock tests 2026 will give candidates a very good idea of what to expect in the actual exam. Apart from this, the CLAT 2026 mock tests are a really good way of putting your preparations in testing waters. Candidates can actually judge where they stand in their preparation journey. Not only this, the CLAT 2026 mock test scores can give candidates a slight idea about which NLUs they can target. In this article, we put the CLAT 2026 mock test against the colleges offering admissions, if they were the actual scores of candidates. This might not be a completely accurate comparison, but candidates will get a good idea of what colleges they can expect and where their preparation stands currently in the NLU context.
While mock tests are no guarantee of the same CLAT scores, they do give candidates an idea about their preparations and a comparison with other candidates. If candidates consistently score in a certain range, they can expect their CLAT 2026 scores to be close to it. For example, if candidates consistently score more than 105+ marks in CLAT 2026 mock tests and also score well in sectional mock tests, they can aim for top NLUs. Similarly, candidates scoring between 90 to 105 marks can also target the top 10 NLUs. Candidates scoring below 60-70 marks in CLAT 2026 mock tests must amp up their preparations. The table below denotes expected colleges based on the mock test scores of candidates.

Here are some simple steps to improve your CLAT 2026 mock test scores:
Always maintain an error sheet and enter the mistakes you made during the mock tests. Come back to the same and work on problem areas.
Along with overall mock tests, also attempt section-wise mock tests. This will give candidates a better grasp over each section.
Make sure you finish all your mock tests within the specified time. Work on time management to make sure you do not lose any marks.
After finishing the CLAT 2026 mock tests, go back to the questions you skipped in the mock test.
Keep a logbook of all the mock tests you attempt. If you consistently score high or low, look out for what factors may have led to it and prepare accordingly.

On Question asked by student community
Hello,
While NLUs are costly, you can still pursue government-funded law education through state-funded universities and their affiliated colleges that accept CLAT scores, such as institutes like Banaras Hindu University and Aligarh Muslim University.
I hope it will clear your query!!
It is always better to take the CLAT exam right after Class 12 if your goal is to build a career in law, because CLAT UG is specifically designed for admission into integrated five-year law programs like BA LLB, BCom LLB, or BBA LLB. Appearing after Class 12 saves you time, as you complete both graduation and law together in a single course. On the other hand, if you first complete graduation and then plan for law, you will not be eligible for CLAT UG but instead for CLAT PG, which is meant for admission into LLM programs. This path takes longer, because you first spend three or four years on graduation and then add another three years in an LLB program if you choose not to go for an integrated course. So, if you are already sure about pursuing law as your career, writing CLAT right after Class 12 is the smarter and time-saving option, while writing it after graduation makes sense only if you are considering higher studies in law or a shift in career later.
For CLAT, the most important topics are from Legal Reasoning, Current Affairs & GK, the Indian Constitution, English Language, Quantitative Techniques and Logical Reasoning. For a brief detail you can go through the following link: https://law.careers360.com/articles/clat-important-topics
Thank You.
Hi dear candidate,
Both the colleges Maharaja Agrasen (MAIMS) or Gitarattan (GIBS) are affiliated to IP University and allows admission either by CLAT or IPU CET Law. Without either of these exams, your admission is NOT accepted there. You can try looking for management quota seats in these colleges if you have got good marks in 12th class.
