Yes, you can prepare for CLAT in 6 months. At CLAT Coaching Delhi (Law Prep Tutorial), where 1,310+ students have entered NLUs since 2009, a 6-month plan works when you commit to 4–6 focused hours a day, start newspaper reading from Day 1, follow a month-by-month roadmap across all five CLAT sections, and take 30–50 full-length mocks with honest analysis. CLAT 2027 is on 6 December 2026 — so a true 6-month runway means starting around June 2026. This guide gives you the exact plan, a daily timetable, section-wise strategy, and realistic mock-score-to-rank benchmarks.
Career Options After Law Through CLAT: Paths, Jobs & Salary (2027 Guide)
Clearing CLAT gets you into a 5-year law degree at a National Law University — and from there the career options after CLAT are wide: corporate law, litigation, the judiciary, civil services, in-house counsel, PSU and government legal roles, public policy, academia and emerging fields like legal tech and IP. At CLAT Coaching Delhi (Law Prep Tutorial), where 1,310+ students have entered NLUs since 2009, we tell aspirants the truth: CLAT opens the door, but your 5-year journey — internships, skills and specialisation — decides the salary. This guide maps every path, what each pays, and how to choose.
Salary After CLAT: NLU Placement Packages, Per-Month Pay & ROI (2027)
There is no single "CLAT salary" — CLAT is an entrance exam, not a job. What people mean by salary after CLAT is the pay after a five-year law degree at an NLU. Indicatively, fresh graduates from the top NLUs earn ₹12–20 LPA at Tier-1 law firms (roughly ₹1–1.6 lakh a month), the judiciary pays ₹70,000–1,00,000 a month, and litigation starts far lower but scales. The honest truth we tell aspirants at CLAT Coaching Delhi (Law Prep Tutorial) — 1,310+ NLU selections since 2009 — is that your NLU, internships and skills decide the number, not the CLAT score itself.
When to Start CLAT Preparation: Best Time and Plan
You should start CLAT preparation ideally in Class 11, which gives a two-year runway to build reading, reasoning and current affairs without pressure. Starting in Class 12 works with about a year, and droppers can succeed with a focused six to twelve month plan. This guide covers the best time, timeline and study plan by starting point.
CLAT GK Preparation 2027: Best Strategy and Sources
CLAT GK preparation is best done through a daily habit of reading one newspaper, revising monthly current affairs from the last ten to twelve months, and practising passage-based questions.

CLAT Cut-Offs 2027: NLU-Wise Closing Ranks, Category-Wise Marks & Safe Score
The CLAT cutoff is the last All-India Rank at which a National Law University filled its seats in a given category. For CLAT 2027, Clat Coaching Delhi (Law Prep Tutorial Delhi NCR) notes that cutoffs are not pre-declared — they are set during counselling (expected January–March 2027) across five rounds. As a working benchmark, the top NLUs closed within roughly the top 100–400 General ranks in CLAT 2026: NLSIU Bangalore near AIR 108, NALSAR near 168, NUJS Kolkata near 343 and NLU Jodhpur near 364. A General score of about 95–105+ out of 120 targets a top-five NLU; ~85+ reaches most other NLUs.
CLAT vs AILET: Difference, Which Is Tougher & Which You Should Pick (2027)
CLAT and AILET are India's two biggest law entrances, and the difference comes down to reach. CLAT, run by the Consortium of NLUs, is a 120-question, five-section paper that admits you to 26 National Law Universities (around 3,520 UG seats). AILET, run by NLU Delhi, is a faster 150-question, three-section paper that admits you to NLU Delhi alone (around 110 seats). At CLAT Coaching Delhi we tell every aspirant the same thing: because the two syllabi overlap by roughly 80%, preparing for both is usually the smart default, not a luxury — and it is the only way to keep NLU Delhi in play.
NLU List & CLAT Cutoffs 2027: All 26 NLUs, Category-Wise Closing Ranks & Marks vs Rank
The CLAT cut off is the last rank (and the matching score) at which a National Law University closes admission for a given category. For 2027, 26 NLUs admit through CLAT — around 3,500–3,700 UG seats in total — with NLU Delhi the one exception (it uses AILET). As a working guide from CLAT Coaching Delhi: a General-category rank inside the top ~100 targets the top three NLUs (NLSIU Bangalore, NALSAR Hyderabad, NUJS Kolkata), roughly 90+ marks keeps the top five to seven NLUs in reach, and ranks into the low thousands still open strong mid-tier NLUs. Reserved-category and state-domicile closing ranks run considerably more relaxed. Exact CLAT 2027 cut-offs are confirmed only after the Consortium's counselling rounds — the ranges here are indicative, drawn from recent years.
CLAT Syllabus 2027: Section-Wise Subjects, Weightage, PDF & What Actually Gets Tested
The CLAT syllabus for 2027 has five sections — English Language (~20%), Current Affairs & General Knowledge (~25%), Legal Reasoning (~25%), Logical Reasoning (~20%) and Quantitative Techniques (~10%) — across 120 passage-based MCQs in 2 hours, with +1 for a correct answer and −0.25 for a wrong one. The key thing CLAT Coaching Delhi tells every aspirant: the CLAT syllabus is skill-based, not topic-based. It is not an NCERT-style list you "finish" — it defines the reading, reasoning and comprehension abilities the exam tests. The Consortium has confirmed the syllabus for CLAT 2027 is unchanged from 2026 (exam on 6 December 2026), so you can plan with confidence — though a proposed reform for CLAT 2028 could change this. More on that below.

Difference Between an Advocate and an Attorney (and Lawyer, Barrister & Solicitor)
A lawyer is anyone with a law degree. An advocate is a lawyer enrolled with a Bar Council under the Advocates Act, 1961 who can argue cases in court.
