Hey hey! Just saw that you are an Indian lawblr. I'm currently preparing for CLAT and AILET 2021. Do you have some tips for the exams and the things that I shouldn't avoid doing in the last months of my preparation? How is law school treating you so far? You are so inspiring and meticulous. All the best for your internships and make sure that you take out some time for yourself.

Heyy, first off, thank you soo much for the compliments, you're too kind♥️

So for CLAT and AILET there are some common things that will help in both, but both exams need completely different prepping styles.

COMMON TIPS

Read the newspaper daily

Focus on solving as many mock tests as you can, but make sure you review each one immediately after doing them, and consistently review the past papers as you keep giving mocks. Also aim to get 5 marks more than you got last time

Read up on legal gk, it will not only help you in the gk section but will also help in the legal section

Give the mock at the same time as the exam. If CLAT is at 2pm, give the mock at 2pm every week, same with AILET

TIPS FOR CLAT

Best way to prep is to keep giving papers. You may get crappy scores and that can be disheartening, but don't stop giving papers

Read, read, read. CLAT tests your reading speed as much as your comprehension skills. Try reading the newspaper every day and actively increasing your reading speed

Do weekly and monthly gk modules. You'll find them on telegram groups made for CLAT prep

Don't panic in the exam. You'll do well, don't worry. I'm assuming the paper is offline this time, so practice with an omr sheet while wearing a mask so that you get accustomed to it.

TIPS FOR AILET

Do past years papers immediately, don't leave it off for last minute. Career launcher and clat prep have very easy AILET mocks which can give you a false sense of confidence. Do past years papers so that you know what to expect

AILET is 150 qs in just 90 minutes. AILET tests your speed. So practice as much as you can and make sure you don't waste time on questions you can't answer

Maths is one section where you can maximize your score. Even if you feel you are bad at it, maths is a learnable skill. You learn one type of questions, you maximise your chances of getting into NLUD by one mark, and believe it or not, that is a lot

AILET wants you to panic, don't. Dedicate a certain amount of time to every section. Do mocks and see how much time you need for every section and draw out a map. In the exam, one eye should be on the paper and the other one on your watch

A month before your paper, try to maximise as many concepts you can learn. The more area you cover, the more chances you have at getting the answers right. I didn't clear AILET and I was only getting a lower NLU with my CLAT score so I'm telling you to not make the same mistakes I did.

My college is five times more strenuous than any NLU. We have 9 subjects in a semester and no end-sem break as our semester started late. I'd say give SLAT too since SLS Pune is a good university if you don't get into top 7 NLUs.

All the very best for CLAT, I hope you crack it and get to your dream university. Even if you don't, it isn't the end of the world. I have relatives who passed out from universities that don't have a good reputation on the market but are now working in some of India's top tier law firms. Be gentle with yourself, times are hard and you shouldn't jeopardize your mental health for this. CLAT is an exam that can be given every year, so you have another shot at this even if you don't get this one right. But I'll hope that you get into a good NLU in the first try because I recognise that CLAT prep is very stressful, and I'm happy I am out of that phase of my life.

Good luck 🥰

I gave the AILET today. To all the people giving AILET in the next few years, this is what I'd suggest

1) Look at past years papers as early on in your prep as you can. I made the mistake of leaving it at the last moment

2) Don't neglect static gk. Since static was removed from clat, I didn't focus on static and ended up missing some pretty doable gk qs

3) Give mocks regularly, but keep in mind that the mocks Career Launcher provides are far easier than AILET test papers.

4) Use multiple resources for gk. I know people say focussing on one resource in the best, but multiple resources help revise the stuff you have done and also help you get access to more info. I use videos like those of GkToday, finology, legaledge as well as material from clat oriented telegram channels

5) Don't neglect English vocabulary. The English vocab seemed pretty tough, I am usually a high scorer in this section but I left 6-7 questions. Focus of vocabulary, it can be the gamechanger

6) AILET is lengthy. AILET wants you to panic. Don't. You will have to leave a lot of questions, don't make guesses as negative marking fucks you over

I know that barely any of my followers would be giving Indian law entrances, but if there is anyone then these tips would be of great help to them.

Hii I just came upon your blog and found out you are preparing for law exams too!! (Same here so i know what you going through lol :p ) I wanted to ask whether you have some sort of idea about the cut off/acceptable marks- for clat especially- since the exam pattern got changed?? And best of luck for your exams!! :)

Heyy, so nice to find other clat aspirants here!

I'm still in the average mark pool when it comes to clat... i was told by my teachers that a mock score of 100+ out of 150 may guarantee a good nlu

Last year, cutoff for nalsar was 128/200, which is about 64%. I feel that out of 150, that will be about 96-97.

I can estimate that a 100+ score would be a good mock score (i am getting 92-95 rn), but given the circumstances it's very hard to judge. An easy paper can mean a high cutoff and a tough paper can mean a low cutoff.

I'm following my legal teacher's advice when it comes to clat: dont aim for a cutoff, just aim to get 5 marks more than you did last time. It's one that worked for me and got me from a 70 to a 90+.

As for AILET, cutoff has always stayed in the higher 90s, but the paper is also much tougher than clat. Given the extremely limited number of seats, NLUD will be harder to get into.

Private institutes like SLS Pune have a SLAT cutoff of higher 90s to lower 100s in bba-llb, while for ba-llb it has gone up to 110-115 out of 150. Now that the pattern has changed there too and the exam is now out of 90, i believe a 65-70+ score would be good enough (i am in the 60-70 range)

I am not giving any other private entrances like mhcet, so i cant give any info about that

Best of luck for your preparation💕💕
