If you’re aiming for a career in law, the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is probably already on your radar. You’ve heard about endless reading passages, tight time limits, and fierce competition. Sounds daunting, right?

At SSB Academy, we’ve helped students from diverse backgrounds — CBSE toppers, Tamil-medium learners, and even first-generation graduates — crack CLAT through structured learning and personal guidance. Let’s break down everything you need to know.
🎓 What Is CLAT 2025?
The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is a national-level entrance exam conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs) for admission to undergraduate (LL.B) and postgraduate (LL.M) law programs across 22 NLUs in India.
CLAT isn’t just a test of knowledge; it’s a test of comprehension, reasoning, and presence of mind — the very skills that make great lawyers.
