Hii Ajay,

Common Law Admission Test ( CLAT )  is not a degree but an entrance test conducted for admissions to premier Law Schools in India. Being a commerce student you surely can appear for the test.

CLAT has 5 sections English including Comprehension. General Knowledge and current Affairs. Elementary Mathematics (Numerical Ability) Legal Aptitude. Logical Reasoning. You'll just have to revise your maths basics from class 6-10th and you are done for the Quants section

For verbal you can read normal Lewis's Word power made easy. For legal aptitude  there is A.P bhadwaj's book.

Reading a newspaper daily will help you with the GK section and the verbal section. For static GK you can download pdfs available online. You'll have to appear for a lot of mocks too, this'll help you build a speed and boost your confidence. You can appear for mocks and then ascertain if you need a coaching or not.
