How to Prepare for CLAT & AILET Together?

1. Build Common Concepts First

Since both exams have English, GK, and Logical Reasoning, your base preparation will be the same.

lRead the newspaper daily (prefer The Hindu)

lPractice reading comprehension and vocabulary

lLearn daily current affairs with focus on legal news

lSolve logical puzzles, assumptions, inferences

 

2. Add AILET Focus from September

From September onwards, start solving AILET-specific mocks. AILET has:

lMore direct questions in GK

lNo Legal Reasoning or Maths

So adjust your plan accordingly. Give more time to Logical and English after that.

 

3. Give Mock Tests Weekly

Alternate between CLAT and AILET mocks. For example:

Week 1 - CLAT mock

Week 2 - AILET mock
Analyze both and see how your time management and accuracy are improving.

4. Time Management is Key

Since both exams are just days apart, don't panic. Make a monthly planner and keep time for revision, mock analysis, and doubt-solving.
