New Delhi [India], December 5: After the roller coaster that was CLAT 2025, it’s natural for aspirants to approach CLAT 2026 with a mix of hope, anxiety, and apprehension. CLAT 2025 was far from smooth. What should have been a routine competitive exam cycle turned into a never-ending litigation, with back-and-forth between the Supreme Court and various High Courts: countless petitions, revised results, and egregious errors by the courts. CLAT 2025 is remembered for all the wrong reasons.

So the million-dollar question is: Will CLAT 2026 be the same?

Hopefully not — though the signs haven’t been very comforting.

The admit card notification mentioned the wrong year. 

The sample paper was released 10 days before the exam.

These slip-ups have raised eyebrows, but this is also the moment for aspirants to rise above the noise. With just a few days left, the smartest thing you can do is focus on your preparation, not the chaos.

Your Mindset Will Matter More Than Anything Else

In the last 4 days, the biggest enemy is not the paper — it’s your own ‘what ifs’:

• What if I mess up?
• What if the paper is too tough?
• What if something goes wrong?
• What if I don’t clear?

Shift the narrative. Each time you think of a reason, you will not. Think of one reason why you will.

Utilize the time to revise, go through the previous year CLAT Exam Analysis and trust all the effort you have put into preparing for the D Day.

Stick to Your Sequence

Do not change your strategy or your attempt order now.

You’ve spent months getting comfortable with a specific flow — don’t disrupt it in the final lap. Stability beats experimentation at this stage.

If You Come Across Anything New…

Especially in GK — Read it, add it to your repository, and revise it once. But avoid spending too much time on anything new. Focus on all that you have already studied. Remember, revision is the Key.

Maximize Attempts on D-Day

CLAT rewards smart, high-attempt strategies. If your number of attempts drops too low, you’re likely out of the race. If the paper is similar to the last 2–3 years, aim to attempt at least 110 questions; if it is slightly tougher, target around 100. Remember, attempts matter — accuracy alone won’t be enough.

3 Mistakes You MUST Avoid at All Costs

1. Taking things to extremes

• “I’ll chill for the next 3 days”
• “I’ll study 16 hours a day for 3 days”
• Both approaches are counterproductive.
• Balance wins.

2. FOMO-driven over-prep

Avoid:

• Solving mocks from 10 different coaching institutes
• Reading every compendium that exists
• Watching endless marathon videos

This will only increase panic, not performance.

3. Trying to predict CLAT’s difficulty

Don’t waste mental energy on guessing:

Will it be tough? Will it be easy? Will it be quirky?

Nobody knows — not faculty, not toppers, not even the internet.

Go in with a clear mind and adaptability.

Final Word

CLAT is unpredictable — but your preparation doesn’t have to be.

Stay steady, revise smart, maximize attempts, and avoid last-minute chaos.
