CLAT is organised by the Consortium of National Law Universities, comprising representative universities. Several affiliate universities and organisations also use the CLAT exam for admissions and recruitment. All admissions to the 5-year integrated Ll.B. and Ll.M. programmes that commence in the Academic Year 2025-2025 shall be through the CLAT 2025.
 
With the new pattern kicking in 2020, CLAT is now more focused on aptitude. The CLAT exam consists of 150 objective-type questions with a total time duration of 2 hours. It consists of five sections, including English, Legal Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, Current Affairs including GK and Quantitative Techniques. A thorough understanding of the CLAT Exam Pattern 2025 is a crucial milestone to clear the exam. Thus, practising only from books in these changing scenarios is not enough for students to get into their dream college. The students must be able to comprehend passages with good reading speed.

Suggestion mode: This feature is the USP of Smartkeeda. With this feature, beginners can choose which question to attempt first and which one to skip.
 
One silly mistake beginners make is taking the question on their ego and wasting a lot of time on one particular question. CLAT is not just about comprehending and scoring, you have to solve the entire paper in just 2 hours. Here is when the suggestion mode of Smartkeeda comes into play. Following this mode, students get to learn the strategy followed only by the toppers i.e. leave the difficult question for the last minutes and score solving the easy ones first. Though the technique takes time to seep in but once done can be proved useful in the long run.
 
In this mode, you can also see the time given by the topper in a particular question which will give you an idea of how much time we should put into a particular question.
 
Retake: With this feature, you can reattempt the full mock test again as a fresh one and not just once but as many times as you want.
 
Compare with friend: This helps you to compare your score with your friend by using the latter's email id.
 
Performance graph: You can track different elements of your performance, like speed, accuracy, topic strength, question selection etc, using chart analysis. You can also see the test-on-test performance graph to see your growth in mocks.

Its creators claim it to be India's first Education-Gaming-Social (EGS).
 
This app is for students who are competitive and want to test themselves at every step. Qudoo helps you validate your knowledge in a fun-filled environment.

This app is amazing for covering topics such as Current Affairs, General Knowledge and Legal Reasoning. The gaming environment keeps students engaged and makes studying a fun-filled process. Practising on this app helps you learn the art of skipping and taking wise decision. It penalizes you for hitting a wrong option and signals you to skip the question in case you are putting too much time.
 
The best thing this app offers is an improvement in problem-solving speed. The score you obtain on answering each question correctly/incorrectly directly depends on your answering speed. The sooner you hit the correct answer, the more points will be obtained.

Inshorts is a news app that provides a 60-word summary of the most recent news. Sometimes, the students don’t get enough time to read the newspaper and watch TV for news. This is what students want in this fast-paced world - to consume news on the go!
 
This app has a brilliant design, easy UI and hand-picked news. This is another app to get in touch with day-to-day news and stay updated. All the news in the app is divided into several categories. If you only want to read the news regarding politics, then choose the Politics category and then only news related to politics will appear on your screen.

This app helps you develop speed reading, attentiveness and memory skills. The app will be useful even if you rarely read. Just after 2-3 trainings, the imagination will work in a completely different way!
 
An average person perceives about 200 words per minute and assimilates only 50-60% of the information while reading. If you need to remember something, you have to go back to the same sentences. As a result, you can quickly get tired and lose interest in the process. This app helps you to master the skim reading process and will be beneficial as four out of five sections in CLAT consist of 'Paragraph Based Questions'.

Since the students are tested on their comprehension skills, reading the newspaper is the best way to improve your English reading speed and vocabulary. I prefer The Hindu as it never contains unnecessary news!
 
Apart from the reading section which can be covered using the newspaper the Grammar portion can be prepared from Wren n martin book, it is simply the best among all!!
 
Hope you all find these app amazing and will help you acing the examination.
