Hi Zainab,
I am not aware whether you have prepared earlier and for revision, you are searching for a crash course or you will study from the crash course directly. If you are under the 1st above-mentioned category then try contacting the coaching centres there for the crash course; it will be cheaper than the general course. You can go for second-hand or used books for practice if you are not able to afford first hand. You can refer mylaw.net for some guidance.
If you fall under the 2nd category then drop this year for CLAT; work on your boards properly score well then appear for CLAT next year because CLAT needs analytic concept and speed and both needs practice and can't be achieved in a crash course
There are many Coaching/ Institute to prepare the exam but you can go for Career Launcher, T.I.M.E which is most preferrable coachings by the students.
Here are some preparation tips you can follow for the exam preparation:
Start with previous year CLAT question papers and previous year papers.
Be updated with General awareness, current affairs updates and even legal updates.
Work on your vocabulary. Read newspapers and relevant novels. This will also help you in increasing your speed.
Areas of Law to be understood in basic form includes: Law of Torts, Law of Contract, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law and some understanding of Family law.
Attempt online and offline mocks test. There are sectional and full length mocks available as well.
If you are looking the material you can prefer:
Material you can refer to are: -Previous year question papers -Norman Lewis- Word Power Made easy -Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning- By RS Agarwal -Universal guide to LLB Exam -Pearson GK Module -Monthly magazines on GK, Current Affair, Books and Novel
Good Luck!!
For CLAT preparation all you need is one book that is Universal's Guide to CLAT & LLB Entrance examinations. It is not necessary to join any coaching, if you follow this book you would be able to clear the examination considering you work hard towards it and solve as many mock tests as possible. If not coaching, join a good mock test series on CLAT and you'd be good to go! Also, 4 months are enough for your preparation. Give in your all and you'd be able to crack the exam.
I know this sounds pretty unbelievable but trust me the abovementioned book is your only need. With more than 11000 Multiple Choice questions, it has previous years questions of CLAT as well as other law entrance examinations. Not just that, it even has mock test papers. This is your one step solution for law entrance examination preparation.
With so many questions to brush up your knowledge, it also includes the whole syllabus of CLAT and other law entrance examinations. From General Knowledge, to Legal Aptitude, to Logical Reasoning, even English! Everything is there in this book.
You wouldn't have to touch other books if you follow this one.
Other than that, you can also refer Lakshmikant's Indian Polity and NCERT textbooks of History, Geography, and Political Science for basic preparation. Make a habit of reading newspaper daily, for this purpose, "The Hindu" is highly recommended. You may also follow Yojana Magazines for current affairs.
Keep a watch on news, using social media and Television to be successfully updated with current affairs. You can also check Unacademy or various YouTube videos available for your Subject of study.
PS : Reading would increase your vocabulary. For budding lawyers, "10 judgements that changed India" by Zia Mody and "Legal Eagles" by Indu Bhan are great books. They are not specified for CLAT preparation but will help you a lot in your journey of becoming an advocate.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
