CLAT preparation can start in Std XI or PU I. Focus on reading comprehension (English), current affairs (read newspaper daily for 1 year), and logical reasoning. Legal reasoning is passage-based — no prior law knowledge needed. KLET is less competitive than CLAT but gives access to Karnataka law colleges.
