LLM Entrance (CLAT PG / AILET PG) Preparation

1 Syllabus / exam pattern

• CLAT PG: comprehension of legal texts and questions from constitutional law, jurisprudence, contract, tort, criminal law, international law and related fields as notified by the Consortium.
• AILET PG: NLU Delhi’s LLM paper — confirm sections on the latest notification.
• KN’s LLM course page is the on-site programme map; this page does not invent paper-wise marks.

2 Previous year questions (PYQs)

Explained UG papers still train passage discipline. For PG, use Consortium/NLU Delhi papers when hosted; do not invent a PG dump here.

• Constitutional law extracts (basic structure, rights, federalism).
• Jurisprudence vocabulary in context.
• Contract / criminal / public international law problem questions attached to a passage.

Papers:

• Explained UG PYQ archive (reading practice)
• PDF dump

3 Resources

• LLM course.
• LLM colleges.
• CLAT Legal Reasoning for principle–fact habits.

4 Strategy

• Read one judgment extract daily; summarise the holding in three lines.
• Revise a short constitutional law skeleton (Parts III, IV, XI, amending power).
• Practise PG mocks under the year’s notified length — not UG 120-Q timing.

5 Common mistakes

• Treating CLAT PG as undergraduate Legal Reasoning with longer words.
• Memorising case lists without reading an extract.
• Ignoring AILET PG’s own pattern.

6 Worked approach

Worked approach: a constitutional extract on reasonable restrictions. Question: which Article is the passage discussing?
