CLAT PG 2027 4 Week Study Plan (Before 6 Dec)

CLAT PG 2027 is reported for Sunday 6 December 2026, so the last four weeks run from Monday 9 November to the exam. The paper is 120 multiple choice questions for 120 marks in two hours with 0.25 deducted for each wrong answer, and the plan below spends most of each day on reading judgments and statutes under time, then revising the subjects that feed them.

What is verified and what is reported

The Consortium of NLUs notification dates (registration from 3 August to 31 October 2026) and the question paper format page on consortiumofnlus.ac.in give: 120 MCQs, 120 marks, 2 hours, 0.25 negative marking, and a syllabus of Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, Administrative Law, Law of Contract, Torts, Family Law, Criminal Law, Property Law, Company Law, Public International Law, Tax Law, Environmental Law, and Labour and Industrial Law. News and coaching sites add that the paper is passage-based, with passages of about 450 words drawn from judgments, statutes and legal writing, and an exam slot of 2 pm to 4 pm. Treat those last points as reported and check the official site. The official page does not give a subject-wise question split, so do not trust any site that quotes one as fact.

Principles for the four weeks

• Read, then answer. In a passage-based paper, the time goes to reading. Your target is roughly one minute of reading and one minute of answering per question.
• Revise subjects through cases. Instead of re-reading textbooks, revise a subject by reading two or three recent judgments in it and noting the principle.
• Keep the bare acts close. Passages often quote statutory text, and questions test whether you read the language, not whether you remember the section.
• Know the new criminal laws. The BNS, BNSS and BSA replaced the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act, so be able to move between old and new numbering.

Week 1 (9 to 15 November): diagnose and rebuild

• Day 1: a full timed mock. Mark your weakest three subjects by accuracy.
• Days 2 to 6: 60 minutes of judgment-passage practice (3 to 4 passages) plus 90 minutes on one weak subject per day: Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Contract and Torts, Property and Family Law, Jurisprudence.
• Day 7: review, error log, and a rest hour.

Week 2 (16 to 22 November): volume and spread

• Increase passage practice to 6 per day, timed at about 10 to 12 minutes per passage with five questions.
• Cover the lighter subjects in half-day blocks: Administrative Law, Company Law, Labour and Industrial Law, Tax Law, Environmental Law and Public International Law. For each, note the key statutes and two or three recent cases.
• Take a full mock on day 4 or 5, followed by a long review.

Week 3 (23 to 29 November): exam conditions

• Two full mocks, ideally in the 2 pm slot, with an OMR sheet.
• Daily: 4 timed passages and a one-page revision of the subject you got wrong most.
• Re-read your error log and write ten one-line rules, for example: “When an option uses ‘always’, check the passage for an exception.”

If you are also writing AIBE on 29 November, plan lightly for that day and use the AIBE last 7 days plan alongside this one.

Week 4 (30 November to 6 December): sharpen, rest, sit

• 30 November to 2 December: one full mock and two sectional sets of 12 passages each. Review thoroughly.
• 3 and 4 December: error log, key judgments and statutory notes, one light set of passages a day.
• 5 December: rest, check admit card and centre, pack the bag.
• 6 December: the exam. See the CLAT PG exam day and attempt strategy.

A subject checklist to tick off

• Constitutional Law: fundamental rights tests, basic structure, federalism, writ jurisdiction, recent Constitution Bench rulings.
• Criminal Law: BNS, BNSS and BSA structure, general exceptions, bail and its principles.
• Contract and Torts: formation, void and voidable, remedies; negligence, nuisance, strict and absolute liability.
• Property and Family Law: Transfer of Property Act basics, succession and personal law reforms.
• Jurisprudence: schools of thought, rights and duties, sources of law, legal concepts.
• Others: a short, accurate sheet of statutes and landmark cases.

Practice material

Practice on real judgment text, not summaries. Lexfolio’s CLAT PG 2027 judgment passages offers 25 passages of 350 to 500 words with five questions each, built on Supreme Court judgments from January to September 2026, if you want a ready set. For mocks, CLAT PG 2027 mock tests are two 120 question papers with explanations and an OMR sheet. Use whichever you choose within the plan above and read how to use judgment passages for practice for method.

What not to do

Do not try to finish another full textbook in the last month, and do not memorise case lists you cannot explain. Do not change your method in the final days. Confirm all dates and the pattern on consortiumofnlus.ac.in.

Daily time blocks for a typical day

On a four to five hour day: two hours of passage practice and review, one hour of subject revision, 45 minutes of statutes and recent judgments, and 30 minutes of error log and notes. On days with a mock, the mock replaces the first two blocks and the rest goes to review. Short breaks matter in a passage-heavy paper, because reading stamina drops quickly when you are tired.

Handling recent judgments

Because passages are taken from judgments, recent Supreme Court decisions are likely sources. Follow a reliable news source for judgments of the last year, read the summary, then read at least a few paragraphs of the actual judgment on the Supreme Court website to get used to the style. Keep a short note per case: the issue, the holding, and any statute discussed.
