Hello Aspirant,

The CLAT is the most important exam for aspiring law school applicants. It is the primary entrance test for law schools in India, and is the most important hurdle for students who want to pursue a legal career. The CLAT consists of two parts: the first is called the Prelims and the second is the Mains. To be eligible to write the CLAT, you must have passed the JEE.
The CLAT has two major components: the Objective Structured Clinical Tripartite Examination (OSCE) and the CLT. The OSCE is a series of multiple-choice questions that test your ability to understand the basic principles behind the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The CLT is a series of complex problems that test your ability to apply the knowledge you have learned in the OSCE. Both components are necessary for the successful completion of the CLAT.

A few of the books which are helpful for the preparation for this examination are listed below:
