Which subject should I start with for CLAT PG preparation?
Start with Constitutional Law and Jurisprudence, since together they carry the highest weightage in the exam.
Are bare acts really necessary, or are textbooks enough?
Bare acts are necessary. CLAT PG often asks direct questions based on statutory wording, and textbooks alone will not prepare you for that.
How many books should I refer to for each subject?
One or two well reviewed books per subject are enough. Reading multiple overlapping books usually causes confusion rather than helping.
Is reading recent case law more important than reading textbooks?
Both matter, but recent case law tends to carry more scoring questions since CLAT PG frequently tests awareness of judgments from the last one to two years.
Is CLAT PG tougher than CLAT UG?
It tests a different skill set. CLAT PG assumes subject knowledge from your law degree and focuses on applying legal principles to new facts, so it can feel tougher for those who relied on rote learning during their LLB.

Is coaching necessary for CLAT PG, or can self-study work?
Self-study works well for CLAT PG since the syllabus overlaps with your LLB coursework. Structured self-study with mock tests is often just as effective as coaching.
