There are several centers which provide law coaching in Delhi as well as well as in other cities. Study material for CLAT 2016 can also be procured via online channels.

Cracking GK for CLAT:

GK is often considered one of the trickiest sections of the examination. General knowledge for CLAT is difficult to prepare for, as one cannot chart out a specific curriculum for this section. General knowledge is worth 50 points and accounts for a quarter of your entire test score. Read the newspapers regularly. Watch the news every day. Make sure you are aware of all that is happening around in the world in terms of politics, economy, etc. Take as many mock tests as you can. These help you time yourself and rectify your mistakes. Mock tests are a great way to keep you on your toes and keep up the habit of always reading. Solve question papers from previous years. These help you get a general picture of the pattern of questions. And if you are really lucky, questions may also get repeated.

Learn the difference between studying hard and studying smart:

There is no shortcut to success. Merit is all that pays. But poorly directed perseverance can do more harm than good. Recognize your strengths and focus on them. Identify your weaknesses and try to conceal them. With a negative marking for incorrect answers, it is important to be able to gauge when to make a calculated guess and when to lay off.

The CLAT may see daunting to law aspirants, but remember that there is nothing that patience and resilience cannot achieve.
