Step 1: Get to know the Syllabus

Start by checking out the CLAT PG 2025 syllabus here. First, note the high-weightage topics—these are the areas to focus on in your limited time.

Prioritise subjects that consistently show up in previous years' question papers. Instead of trying to master every topic, narrow down to what's important by practising with previous year questions (PYQs) and mock tests

Step 2: Practice w/ PYQs, Mocks 

Mocks are your best friends on this journey! Pick challenging ones, and don't shy away from difficult questions—they'll help you build confidence. Take full-length mocks twice or thrice a week, preferably in the 2–4 PM time slot (same as the actual exam).

How to Get the Most Out of Mocks:

After each test, review your answers, analyse your mistakes, and spot areas needing improvement. This process will prevent repeat errors and help you focus where it really counts.

Step 3: Cover Imp. Judgements of 2024

Landmarks and recent judgments can heavily impact your score in CLAT PG 2025. Focus on understanding the core legal principles behind each one, as these form the basis of judgement-based questions.
