CLAT consortium have made their syllabus public, let’s look at it section wise:-
Quantitative Techniques/ Maths – Mathematics questions are mostly the IXth and Xth standard questions. Having the hang of basic concepts can make this section a cakewalk for all of you. Please note. That the questions here also are in form of DATA Interpretation, so practicing such questions in copious amount is imperative.
Logical Reasoning – Analytical Reasoning and Quantitative ability questions are based on basic common sense and logic. Practice is the only key to this area as well. Also, working on your comprehension skill as well as reading ability can do wonders.
Legal Aptitude – For Legal Reasoning bit the students should read the principles in entirety and should be able to grasp the key points very carefully. They are expected to apply the given principle of law to the hypothetical questions. . Having a little legal knowledge helps in speedy solving of these kinds of questions. The students should evaluate what is the legal ambit of each question and should find the right answer within the principles given only in the passage. Again reading newspaper and certain basic legal proposition will be quite helpful in the preparation of this section.
Very importantly approach it as a “logical reasoning” and not be bogged down by the word “Legal”. Common sense and comprehension, and a fair awareness of the contemprory legal topics can prove to be miraculous.
