Hi I am in 10th right now and the doubt I have is that if I have is tht if I have to do BA LLB Integrated course then from when should I start preparing for CLAT is better to start in 11th or is better to prepare after BA

CLAT is one of the country's most difficult law entrance tests and if you want to get into your dream college you will need a plan to study for the examination. Ideally one should prepare for the CLAT examination for at least a year and you will get enough time to go over the syllabus several times before focusing on the mock examinations.

Every candidate's strategic planning is different so make sure you develop your strategy based on your objectives rather than comparing it to others.

You can pursue CLAT after std 12th or LLB course. The required eligibility is that candidate must have passed std 12th from a recognised board.

So, you can start preparation for the examination during std 12th as per the syllabus of the examination. You must give some time towards preparation for the examination.

If you want to pursue integrated BA LLB course then can start preparation for the examination from std 12th.

You need to give proper time for the preparation everyday from your studying hours. You can first take the syllabus and try to make a schedule for the preparation which suits you the best.

CLAT stands for Common Law Admission Test and CLAT UG are held for offering admission in BA LLB degree courses across various National Law University (NLU).

Also, to be eligible for appearing in CLAT UG, the basic education required is Class 12th in any discipline from a recognized board of education.

So, if you are interested in pursuing BA LLB degree course by qualifying CLAT UG then there is no point in waiting for completion of BA degree course as it would consume three more years for pursuing the same degree course which you can have pursued after your Class 12th.

Also, CLAT is a national level examination and hence the competition is high and earlier you start more is the edge you have over the candidates starting their preparation late. So, if you have made your mind to pursue BA LLB degree course while being in Class 10th then you can start for CLAT from right now by planning and managing your time efficiently.

Around 40- 50 mock tests would be required to be fully prepared for the examination. Hence, to answer the question, the ideal time duration of your preparation should be around one year. Start when you are at the end of your 11th standard.

CLAT is Common Law Admission Test. The examination is conducted for admission in NLUs in BA LLB and LLM course.

The best time to start preparation for the examination is after 10th along with your 11th and 12th. Time management is mandatory to prepare for the examination along with board preparation.
