The Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) is the golden ticket for students dreaming of a
career in law. It opens the doors to India’s top National Law Universities (NLUs), which are renowned for their quality education, global exposure, and career opportunities. However,
despite its growing popularity, CLAT is surrounded by a lot of misinformation and myths that
can mislead or even discourage aspirants.
If you’re preparing for CLAT or planning to start your journey, here are some common myths
about CLAT that you seriously need to stop believing — and how Stargate Education can
guide you with the right approach.

Myth #1: Only English Medium Students Can Crack CLAT

Reality: This is one of the most common myths — and completely false! While the exam is conducted in English, students from Hindi medium or regional language backgrounds can
and do crack CLAT every year. The key lies in building your English comprehension gradually.

 Tip: Start reading English newspapers daily, practice comprehension passages, and build vocabulary through consistent reading. Stargate Education provides structured English practice modules, even for students who aren’t confident in the language yet.

Myth #2: You Have to Study 10-12 Hours a Day

Reality: Studying longer hours doesn’t guarantee success — studying smart does. Overloading yourself can cause burnout. What really matters is how well you understand the
concepts and practice mock tests.

 Tip: Focus on consistency and revision. Even 3–4 hours of focused study with the right strategy can help you crack CLAT. Stargate Education helps you build a custom study plan based on your current level and goals

Myth #3: Coaching Is Compulsory to Crack CLAT

Reality: Coaching isn’t mandatory, but the right guidance can make a huge difference. Many students have cracked CLAT through self-study, but they had a proper plan, access to
resources, and mock test strategies

 Tip: If you’re looking for guidance but want flexibility, Stargate Education offers online and
offline CLAT courses that cover everything — from Legal Reasoning to Mock Tests — all under one roof. Their expert faculty and personalized mentoring give you the best of both worlds.

Myth #4: Legal Reasoning Requires Prior Law Knowledge

Reality: You don’t need to be a lawyer or study law in school to solve CLAT’s Legal Reasoning section. The exam tests your ability to read, interpret, and apply rules — all of which are explained in the question.

 Tip: Practice applying principles to real-life scenarios. Stargate Education uses a case-based teaching method to help you develop logical thinking and decision-making skills that are essential for this section

Myth #5: You Must Attempt All Questions to Get a Good Rank

Reality: CLAT has negative marking (-0.25 for each wrong answer). So guesswork can
backfire. It’s not about attempting all 120 questions — it’s about accuracy and smart selection.

 Tip: Practice with mock tests to learn time management and accuracy. Stargate Education’s test series includes sectional and full-length mocks with detailed analysis to help you improve over time.

Myth #6: Only Toppers Can Crack CLAT

Reality: CLAT is not just for the academically brilliant. Many average school students have
cracked CLAT by following the right strategy, being consistent, and practicing regularly.

 Tip: Believe in yourself. What matters is your dedication, not your school marks. Stargate Education has trained hundreds of students from all academic backgrounds and helped them get into top NLUs.

Myth #7: CLAT Is All About Rote Learning

Reality: Gone are the days when mugging up facts would help. CLAT now focuses on comprehension, logic, analysis, and reasoning. It’s about how well you understand concepts and apply them in different contexts.

 Tip: Practice reading editorials, solving case-based passages, and interpreting data. Stargate
Education provides a real-exam simulated learning environment where you train your brain to think, not just memorize.

Myth #8: If You Don’t Get NLSIU, NALSAR or NUJS, It’s Over

Reality: While these are top NLUs, there are plenty of other great law schools under CLAT like NLU Jodhpur, GNLU Gandhinagar, and RMLNLU Lucknow — all of which offer excellent
opportunities

 Tip: Stay open to options and focus on your rank instead of chasing just one college. With
Stargate Education, you’ll receive proper counseling about college selection, preferences,
and career paths post-CLAT.

Myth #9: You Can Crack CLAT Without Solving Mock Tests

Reality: CLAT is a time-bound exam. Without regular practice in a simulated environment, it’s hard to manage time or improve accuracy.

 Tip: Take at least 20-30 mock tests before your actual exam. Stargate Education offers a
comprehensive mock test series with performance analysis, ranking, and feedback for every
student

Myth #10: Law Is Just About Courtrooms and Arguments

Reality: The field of law is much broader than courtrooms. CLAT can lead to careers in corporate law, legal consulting, intellectual property, policy-making, journalism, and more.

 Tip: Explore different career paths early. Stargate Education not only helps you crack the exam but also provides career guidance, alumni interactions, and workshops so you can make
informed choices after CLAT.
