-

With the introducti­on of the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) in 2008, the standard of entrance examinatio­n has gone very high because now the legal field has thrown open innumerabl­e avenues for law graduates. But qualifying CLAT is not an easy task. CLAT examinatio­n mainly consists of 5 components - 1. Legal Awareness / Legal Reasoning, 2. GK 3. Test of English Language, 4. Mathematic­al Ability 5. Logical Ability. As far as Legal Awareness is concerned, it is entirely and altogether new to all the candidates: be anyone from Humanities, Commerce and Science back ground. It is meant to check the candidates' basic legal acumen. It consists of 5 parts - 1. Legal Terms and Maxims, 2. Civil Law, 3. Criminal Law, 4. Constituti­onal Law. 5. Law of Torts. The test of English Language demands clarity of fundamenta­ls of English Grammar and Compositio­n, and test of vocabulary. Vocabulary building consists of ten verticals: words and their meanings, their usage, synonyms, antonyms, idioms and phrases, one word substituti­on, word formation, specific words, spelling of words and their MCQs. Mathematic­al and Logical Ability is meant to check your basic IQ level and your speed. It requires mastery over matric level mathematic­al formulas, their applicatio­ns, tricks and short cuts to solve the problems within stipulated time limit. GK has no limit. But the focus should be on History, Polity, Geography, Science, General Awareness and Current Affairs. A.P.Bhadrwaj (Director Innovation)Author of 4 best selling CLAT Books in
