It won't focus on specific provisions of law, rather it will give propositions which are legal in nature along with a set of facts. The candidate has to aptly apply the set of facts to the propositions by assuming the truth of the propositions as they may not always be 'true' in the real sense.

The CLAT Coaching in Nirman Vihar have great reputation around their centres and institutes.

Recently, many institutes which offer CLAT Coaching in Laxmi Nagar and Nirman Vihar have also started with CLAT crash course online whereby they provide the study material and other course books via mail after the students subscribe to that particular program on their website. This is, in my opinion, one of the most efficient ways to prep for the exam since this way the student will be able to save time spent in travelling and help root out the negatives of classroom coaching. The CLAT crash course online series is also becoming popular among students who cannot travel to Delhi and can therefore avail the benefits sitting at home. The fee for such online crash courses is also cheaper as offered by institutes of CLAT Coaching in Nirman Vihar and Laxmi Nagar.
Best way to make use of the crash course is to study on your own for a year before CLAT and then engage with a CLAT coaching institute in the last 1-2 months in a CLAT crash course to chisel out the skills. This is exactly what I did and this landed me in Gujarat National Law University. I studied on my own for a year and then did a crash course for 2 months. It helped me fill the knowledge gaps and brush up on the tricky concepts.
And that is it! Prep hard, focus on your conceptual clarity, be vigilant while taking the test and give your best! If you have put in the hard work and burned that midnight oil, results will automatically show.
