The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is a 2-hour, multiple choice exam testing English, Mathematics, Legal Aptitude, and General Awareness. It is used for admissions to National Law Universities and is easier to crack than exams like the IIT due to having 15,000 candidates for 1,300 seats. Preparation can be done along with other exams by studying 1 hour a day for a year or 2 hours a day for 6 months, or intensely for 7-8 hours a day in the final month. The CLAT can be prepared for through self-study using the recommended books and methodology from www.clatexam.com without coaching.
