“Past year papers are not only important, rather I believe that they are perhaps the MOST important part of the entire preparation. The most common mistake that people do is to start looking at past year papers only after the passage of a few months of preparation” mentioned by Debajyoti Das - Co-Founder at Legal Sapiens and Legal Aptitude Faculty at GradeUP

“Solving previous years’ papers and sample papers would help enhance their speed and time management skills. They will also be acquainted to the paper structure.” mentioned by Mr Rajendra Khadav, Director of Crack CLAT Tutorials

“See CLAT is an exam unlike most competitive exams in India. The kind of questions aren’t something you would find very commonly in any other exam. Neither do most major books cover something of this kind as there’s no competitive exam in India that requires you to prepare for the CLAT kind of questions. That’s where previous year papers come in. Not only do they inform you about the kind of questions, they also help you build effective time management strategies. In fact, up until recently, a lot of questions were also repeated from previous year CLAT papers which would get you bonus marks and save a lot of time which you would have spent solving the questions. I would say solving past year papers is irreplaceable.” mentioned by Gauresh Chaudhary – Academic Head at Coachmeforclat and currently studying in  NLSIU Bangalore
