Preparing for CLAT PG 2025 with only 15 days to go might sound impossible, but believe it or not, with the right plan and dedication, it's entirely doable. Yes, the CLAT PG syllabus is huge, but don't worry- you don't need to study everything; you just need to focus on the right things and stay consistent.

In this blog, we will focus on key topics and smart tips to help you make the most of your 15 days. Let's discuss how to prepare for CLAT PG in 15 days! You've got this!


Before we begin, keep these points in mind:-

📌 CLAT PG gets more competitive every year. Last year over 10,000 students competed for 2,000 NLU seats.

📌 Acknowledge that there's no shortcut to ace CLAT PG. Success requires dedication, consistency, and smart effort.

📌 Emulate the strategy of top-ranking students who prioritise mock tests & thorough revisions.

📌 Many students waste time practising questions meant for the judiciary or other law exams, which are not helpful for CLAT PG. Stick to what's relevant for this exam to maximise your time. 

📌 Reviewing the last 5-year papers is key. It will help you understand the question patterns and types, so you know what to expect on exam day. 

These points will set a strong foundation for your 2-weeks preparation plan.


Step 1: Get to know the Syllabus

The CLAT PG 2025 paper will be based on the undergraduate program's mandatory subjects, which include- Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, Administrative Law, Law of Contract, Torts, Family Law, Criminal Law, Property Law, Company Law, Public International Law, Tax Law, Environmental Law, and Labour and industrial Law.

Now, 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's 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 2 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 judgements 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.

Pro Tip: Create brief notes for each important judgement. These quick references will be lifesavers during your final revision.


Step 4: Revision*3

Set aside time to revise what you have learned at regular intervals. As the exam approaches, stick to revising what you already know. 

Avoid picking up new topics at this stage- it can disrupt your confidence and confuse you. Just keep revisiting key concepts and notes.


In Short

  1. Start Strategically, Not Late: Yes, an early start is ideal, but a focused approach works too! 

  2. Understand Question Types: Familiarize yourself with common formats, such as judgement-based, article-based passages, case-based questions, and more.

  3. Focus on High-Weight Topics: Quality over quantity is key when time is limited.

  4. Focus on Core Legal Areas: Concentrate on Constitutional Law, Family Law, Criminal Law, International Law, and Law of Contract.

  5. Strategize: For analytical questions, read carefully, identify legal reasoning, focus on key details, consider counterarguments, and practice logical deductions.

  6. Take Effective Notes: Highlight keywords, make summaries, use abbreviations and visual aids like mind maps.

  7. Mock Tests Practice: These improve time management and help refine your approach to the questions.

  8. Consistent Revision: Regularly revisiting key material strengthens your retention and understanding of critical concepts.
