Hi Dara

I would like to point out that, all coaching institutes offer the same material, the difficulty level is also similar except for a few chapters. As far as mocks go, you get previous years mock papers from every coaching institutes and for institute specific mocks

All centers of CL are equally good in delhi if CP is near your reach you should join in

Look for the one closest to your home in order to save time

Hoep this helps!

CLAT is one the most demanding course these days among students. Since CBSE has introduced a course named legal studies, law as a profession is in boon.

As far as we talk about best coaching, being a lawyer i see any student must prepare for at least 1 year (weekends) for better concept clarity. Though there are lot many coaching centers in the town like Success Mantra - Nirman Vihar, IMS, Career launcher, mansarovar etc etc.

But in my recommendation east delhi institues are much better as there are small batches and student recieves individual attention from the faculty like Success Mantra, Nirman Vihar has tremendous pool of faculty and consistent results.

Hope this helps!
