Day 22 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan | CLAT Gurukul
English & Logical Strategy: The “DeepSeek” passage demands layered comprehension — focus on tone, causation, and contrast. When an author critiques policy through another country’s success, identify the implicit comparison framework.
Legal Reminder: Articles 112–113 form the fiscal backbone of Parliament — understand the Budget’s democratic accountability chain from Annual Financial Statement → Committee on Estimates → Lok Sabha scrutiny.
GK Focus: Model Youth Gram Sabha links NEP 2020 + 73rd Amendment — this is a rare cross-disciplinary area that can appear as a short CLAT passage or hybrid reasoning set.
International Context: The G7 2025 Summit (Kananaskis) reflects Western bloc fatigue and multipolar diplomacy. Track the shift from communiqués to chair statements — a subtle sign of fractured consensus.
Quantitative Tip: In data-logic sets (like today’s), avoid memorisation — draw Venns and tables immediately to visualise overlaps and prevent double-counting errors.
Day -21

Day 21 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan | CLAT Guruku
Reading Strategy: When a passage connects foreign policy with industrial policy (like critical mineral diplomacy), trace dependency patterns — which actors hold leverage and which are trying to regain it. This helps in both English and Logical Reasoning sections.
Legal Tip: Articles 109–110 reflect the fiscal control principle — the Lok Sabha’s supremacy in money matters ensures accountability to citizens. Always check if a question tests “exclusive competence” vs. “shared power.”
GK Insight: The AI for Viksit Bharat roadmap and India-AI Impact Summit show how technology, inclusion, and governance intersect. In CLAT, note three dimensions: institutional goal, private-sector role, and regulatory balance.
Quantitative Technique Reminder: Average speed and percentage problems test logical reading as much as arithmetic. Focus on identifying which variable changes (time, speed, or distance) before solving.
Day -20
Information of the Day
Day 20 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan | CLAT Gurukul
Reading Strategy: When passages blend emotion with geopolitics (like Listen to Ladakh), trace the shift from narrative to policy logic — CLAT questions reward readers who can separate empathy from argument.
Legal Reasoning Tip: Articles 77 & 80 reinforce executive coordination and bicameral balance. Read constitutional powers not as theory but as decision-making structures.
Current Affairs Focus: BRICS 2025 and Lipulekh reflect India’s dual diplomacy — South-South cooperation abroad and border sensitivity at home. Always map strategic geography with institutional frameworks.
Quantitative Precision: In data sets, the trick isn’t arithmetic — it’s language parsing. Spot comparative clues like “20% more” or “ratio between A:B” before diving into calculations
Day - 19
Information of the Day
Day 19 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan | CLAT Gurukul
CLAT English Tip: While reading editorials like Language & Division of States, focus on authorial stance, not emotional tone. Ask: What underlying idea of India’s unity is being defended or challenged?
Legal Reasoning Tip: Articles 72 & 73 test scope, discretion, and limitation. Remember: Power ≠ Absoluteness. Always check where judicial review enters the framework.
GK Integration: The Great Green Wall links geography with global governance. Note keywords like UNCCD, Sahel, PAGGW, and India’s “Green Wall” parallel — these often form CLAT-level current affairs passages.
Quantitative Focus: Rehearse Venn diagram overlaps and ratio translations— Day 19’s sets mirror the integrated, multi-layered question types expected in CLAT 2026.
Day - 18
Information of the Day
Day 18 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan | CLAT Gurukul
Connect Legal Reasoning with Real-World Policy: When analysing ICJ’s climate advisory or environmental disputes, always trace the legal principle → global precedent → Indian context. CLAT questions often hinge on that missing middle link.
Constitutional Alert: Articles 65–66 appear procedural, but watch for indirect reasoning — eligibility, vacancy, and transfer of power questions test logical application, not memory.
GK with Legal Overlap: PM-KUSUM and water-sharing (SYL) aren’t just schemes — they are federalism and sustainability case studies. Read them as law-in-action, not static facts.
QT Edge: For ratio and distribution-based questions, simplify data before computing. CLAT’s math traps lie in long tables, not tough numbers.
Day - 17
Information of the Day
Day 17 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan | CLAT Guruku
Read Beyond Law — Read for Logic: Each passage today interlinks morality, law, and structure. Don’t just read what’s said — track what’s missing (the “enforcement gap”).
Spot the Pattern in Repetition: If the author uses a phrase twice — e.g., “law and implementation” — that’s your anchor for inference questions.
In Legal Reasoning: Don’t moralise; reason constitutionally. Ask, “What upholds the spirit of the Constitution?” not “What feels right.”
GK Strategy: Identify link keywords — AI, debt relief, digital innovation, minerals — these repeat across editorials; build quick recall clusters.
QT Tip: Always map ratios before substituting numbers. Precision beats speed when data overlaps in Venn or ratio-based sets.
Day - 16
Information of the Day
Day 16 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Environmental Passages Test Legal-Logical Integration:
In passages like “For the Yamuna to Flow”, read for the chain of accountability — how law, governance, and ecology intersect. CLAT loves layered cause–effect reasoning here.Article 36 & 37 – Don’t Just Memorise, Apply:
Know why “State” is defined broadly and how Directive Principles guide public welfare. The real test lies in recognising whether private actors exercising public functions come under “State”.Current Affairs = Contemporary Law in Action:
BIMSTEC and INSV Kaundinya reflect India’s soft power. CLAT’s GK section now favours such policy-linked factual topics — diplomacy + heritage + innovation.QT Passages = Ratio + Real-World Logic:
Treat every number as a relationship, not a value. CLAT often tests interpretation under pressure more than computation.
Day - 15
Information of the Day
Day 15 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Economy Passages = Interconnection Mastery:
Don’t just memorise terms like fiscal prudence or monetary easing. Always ask — how do these interact? CLAT loves multi-variable comprehension where you must link economic policy with constitutional values.Legal Section Tip – Spot the Keyword “Reasonable”:
Articles 24 & 25 test proportionality and reasonableness.GK is Now Analytical:
Passages like ASEAN–India Summit and SpaDeX Mission test “why it matters”, not “when it happened.”QT = Pattern Recognition:
In pie charts or set problems, use proportion and logic, not brute calculation. CLAT often rewards those who identify relationships faster rather than compute them fully.
Day - 14
Information of the Day
Day 14 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
AI Passages Demand Multi-Domain Thinking:
Always link technology with policy and ethics. The “Enabler vs. Disruptor” framing tests your ability to identify cause-effect reasoning and balanced argumentation — a common LSAT-style trap.Constitutional Rights = Direct Principles Application:
Articles 22 & 23 questions check your grasp of procedure, protection, and proportionality. Think like a Magistrate, not just a student — “Is this detention justified by law?”GK with Policy Lens:
Both Brahmaputra Hydro-Diplomacy and Semicon India passages combine strategic geography + industrial policy. Note: CLAT now tests why an initiative matters, not just what it is.QT Master Trick – Ratio Visualisation:
Before calculating, visualise patterns (gender ratios, revenue breakdowns). 60% of QT errors stem from skipping basic structuring before arithmetic.Integrate Across Subjects:
The best CLAT readers connect dots — AI ethics mirrors fundamental rights, semiconductor self-reliance links to economic sovereignty.
Reading with this integrated mindset transforms information into insight.
Day - 13
Information of the Day
Day 13 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Read the Argument, Not the Example:
In analytical passages (like Ease of Doing Science), focus on the reasoning chain — cause, gap, proposed reform. Every correct answer traces that logic, not just the facts.Legal Reasoning = Application, Not Recall:
Articles 100 & 53 test constitutional function over theory. Apply the principle (voting, quorum, executive discretion) to the scenario — never memorize in isolation.Global Governance is the New GK:
BRICS’ stance on CBAM or IWT shows that CLAT GK is moving toward contextual diplomacy. Note the principles — “common but differentiated responsibility,” “sovereign equality,” etc.Data ≠ Math Alone:
In QT sets, clarity matters more than speed. Mark totals, ratios, and overlaps before solving — most errors arise from skipping visual mapping.Interdisciplinary Thinking Wins:
CLAT 2026 rewards the ability to connect science policy with constitutional ethics, economics with governance, and logic with law. Read every passage as part of a bigger framework of India’s growth story.
Day - 12
Information of the Day
Day 12 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Spot the Legal Obligation vs. Moral Duty Distinction:
In international law passages (like Climate Finance), always ask — Is it binding or aspirational? Words like “shall” vs. “should” often decide the answer.Constitutional Balance = CLAT Gold:
Article 19 and 21 questions test reasonableness and due process. Whenever “restriction” or “procedure established by law” appears — look for proportionality and fairness.Link GK to Law:
Schemes like Green Bonds, Climate Finance Taxonomy, and Net-Zero 2070 connect environmental policy with constitutional duty under Article 48A (environmental protection)UNESCO or International Heritage Topics:
Focus on criteria, categories (cultural/natural/mixed), and process (tentative → nomination → inscription)Quant Strategy – Decode, Don’t Calculate:
In DI sets, visualize before you compute. Estimation and ratio reasoning can save up to 40 seconds per question.
Day - 11
Information of the Day
Day 11 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Law vs. Legacy:
When passages invoke “tradition” (like Dhirio or Jallikattu), test every claim through constitutional morality — the idea that dignity outweighs custom. CLAT questions often hinge on identifying that conflict.Governor ≠ Political Actor:
Article 200 doesn’t grant the Governor absolute discretion. Inaction ≠ neutrality. Remember, courts have clarified that “as soon as possible” implies promptness, not delay.Environmental Policy Mindset:
Schemes like NMCG or Arth Ganga illustrate ecological federalism — shared responsibility between Centre, State, and citizen. When reading such passages, note institutional structure + mission mechanism + financial model.Science and Sovereignty:
ISRO’s 100th launch isn’t just technology — it’s strategic assertion. Recognize how each mission strengthens India’s Atmanirbhar space diplomacy.Quantitative Balance:
When solving percentage-based word problems, pause to interpret — What does the number represent? Visualization before computation reduces 70% of errors.
Day - 10
Information of the Day
Day 10 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Infer, Don’t Assume:
In passages like AI Race, focus on logical contrasts — dependence vs. self-reliance, hardware vs. software. CLAT rewards reasoning built on textual evidence, not intuitive leaps.Law of Responsibility:
Article 101(4) reflects the ethic of accountability. Remember — Parliament’s power to declare a seat vacant is discretionary but not punitive. Questions test whether you grasp this fine constitutional balance.Current Affairs with Structure:
Treat government schemes like ABSS as frameworks — note launch year, implementing ministry, and 3–4 core features. CLAT’s GK now prefers structural comprehension over rote recall.Science = Strategy:
Missions like NISAR combine technology with diplomacy. Link them to India’s “science-for-strategy” approach — sovereignty through collaboration.Quantitative Mindset:
When data sets involve ratios or distribution (like coffee shops or pie charts), visualize first, compute later. CLAT QTs are designed to trick those who calculate before organizing.
Day - 09
Information of the Day
Day 9 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Think Like a Policy-Maker:
When analysing international treaties (like the Indus Waters Treaty), identify the structural imbalance — who benefits, who complies, who controls. CLAT often tests whether you can spot inequity beneath diplomatic language.Balance Law and Liberty:
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 tests the friction between State security and individual privacy. Always evaluate such laws using the proportionality test — legality, necessity, and least-restrictive means.Science as Strategy:
Missions like Aditya-L1 and ISA–OSOWOG represent more than technology — they reflect strategic self-reliance and energy diplomacy. Frame them in terms of India’s global leadership, not just innovation.Quant Tip — Simplify the Complexity:
In Set Theory or DI problems, draw quick Venn diagrams. Translating numbers visually saves 30–40% of time and eliminates confusion.Reading Discipline:
Avoid over-inferencing. CLAT’s hardest English/Logical questions punish emotional or assumptive reading. Stick to what’s written, not what feels right.
Day - 08
Information of the Day
Day 8 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Precision Over Perception:
In reading comprehension or reasoning sets, never assume — infer only what’s textually supported. CLAT questions reward evidence, not emotion.Space & Sovereignty:
Whether it’s Gaganyaan or NavIC, understand that India’s technological missions symbolize strategic autonomy, not just science. Note how self-reliance translates into legal and policy independence.Law Through Lenses:
When studying laws like the Forest Rights Act (FRA), think in three lenses — constitutional (Articles 14, 21, 48A), ethical (justice to forest dwellers), and practical (implementation through Gram Sabhas).GK Insight:
For schemes like PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, focus on implementation mechanisms — DBT (direct transfer), eligibility conditions, and constitutional synergy with sustainable development goals.Quant Mindset:
Visualise data as stories. Patterns (like profit ratios or comparative salary changes) are often embedded in relational cues. Think of “What changes and why” — not just “What number fits.”
Day - 07
Information of the Day
Day 7 Tip – CLAT 2026 Study Plan
Read for Context, Not Emotion:
When passages discuss war, AI, or global diplomacy, focus on why the author argues a point — not on how you feel about it. CLAT rewards comprehension of reasoning, not opinion.Spot the Double Standards:
Whether it’s the “rules-free order” in geopolitics or selective morality in treaties — note patterns of hypocrisy or contrast. CLAT questions often test your ability to detect such implicit irony.Connect Policy to Constitution:
In legal reasoning, tie every statute (like the Enemy Property Act) to Article 14 (Equality) and Article 300A (Right to Property). These recurring constitutional anchors frequently decide correct answers.Quant = Concept + Calm:
In data-interpretation or speed problems, don’t rush. Simplify ratios before substitution. A clear head gives quicker accuracy than blind speed.GK Strategy:
Read summit reports and reforms like Paris AI Summit or GST 2.0 for themes, not facts — “inclusive AI,” “sustainability,” “digital compliance,” “federal harmony.” They form the heart of CLAT’s contemporary GK passages.
Day - 06
Information of the Day
Day 6 Tip – Think Like a Policy Analyst
🔹 Read the intent, not just the data. Every figure or reform mentioned hides a purpose—identify that before tackling questions.
🔹 In inference-based sets, trust textual evidence more than intuition; CLAT rewards precision over speculation.
🔹 In Legal passages, watch for the principle-fact bridge: words like “unless,” “provided that,” “notwithstanding” flip conclusions.
🔹 In GK/CA, connect schemes with institutions, objectives, and constitutional context—this linkage often repeats in exams.
🔹 For Quant, translate each line into a simple equation first; structured reading prevents traps and saves time.
Day - 05
Information of the Day
Day 5 Tip – Master the Art of Strategic Balance
🔹 Read, don’t rush. Long passages test endurance—build rhythm between comprehension and inference.
🔹 Spot the pivot. Every author or argument has a turning point; identify where tone or direction changes.
🔹 Reason, then respond. In Logical sets, evaluate assumptions before options; premature choices cost marks.
🔹 In Legal questions, base answers strictly on the given principle—not moral instinct or prior case knowledge.
🔹 In GK/QT, accuracy first—attempt what you know cold, then estimate with method, not guesswork.
Day - 04
Information of the Day
Day 4 Tip – Think, Don’t Assume
🔹 Read each passage as if it hides a structure—identify premise → evidence → conclusion before you read options.
🔹 In RC and reasoning sets, eliminate extremes; the correct answer is usually balanced, not absolute.
🔹 For Legal, anchor every answer to the principle given—never to outside knowledge or personal sense of fairness.
🔹 In GK, link concepts: defence + policy + law often reappear together across sections.
🔹 For Quant, sketch relations and ratios first; organized data saves more time than shortcuts.
Day - 03
Information of the Day
Day 3 Tip – Sharpen Your Constitutional & Analytical Edge
🔹 Approach every passage with a principle–application mindset — find the rule before judging the facts.
🔹 Don’t rush through dense editorials; instead, map the argument’s flow paragraph-wise.
🔹 When two options look similar, eliminate by asking: Which one matches the author’s reasoning, not my opinion?
🔹 Balance accuracy with time — attempt difficult sets last but never leave Legal or GK unattempted.
🔹 Revise key constitutional doctrines and current legal reforms — CLAT rewards conceptual recall + reasoning clarity.
Day - 02
Information of the Day
🌏 Day 2 Tip – Think Beyond the Passage
🔹 Focus on understanding relationships between ideas, not just words or facts.
🔹 In reasoning questions, always ask: “What is the author trying to prove?”
🔹 For legal sets, connect principles with factual triggers — don’t memorize, apply.
🔹 In GK, look for interlinkages between policies, geography, and diplomacy — CLAT rewards context.
🔹 In Quant, write down all ratios and totals clearly before calculation — clarity saves time.
Day - 01
Information of the Day
📘 Day 1 Tip – Read to Recognize Patterns
🔹 Focus on comprehension, not completion — quality of understanding matters more than speed early on.
🔹 Notice how ideas progress — each paragraph either explains, contrasts, or concludes something.
🔹 Avoid “gut feeling” answers; rely on textual evidence and reasoning.
🔹 In Legal and Logical sections, separate facts from assumptions before choosing your answer.
🔹 Keep a note of question types that trick you most — pattern recognition builds mastery.
