How to choose the best CLAT Coaching for you?
Students preparing for CLAT exam to enter the prestigious law schools may find themselves in a dilemma about landing the perfect coaching centre. This is a very normal thing to go through. While achieving the decision of choosing the right centre, the next dilemma that follows is if whether online mode or offline mode will suit you best.
The answer to the question of determining the best coaching centre is impossible because it doesn’t exist. The sentiments towards the most preferred/loved coaching centre depends on an individual’s experience. A coaching centre may provide the absolute best learning method to the student, but due to lack of hard work, success may fly out the window. And, this may impact the students to have disputed feelings towards the coaching institute. Hence, as mentioned, one can’t crown a particular institute as the winner.
However, while we cannot give a name for you to enroll in, we can always lay down the crucial features to look into any coaching institute while shuffling your options. Here is a list of pointers you must evaluate before deciding your place for CLAT preparation -
1. Past Results
The first and obvious pointer is the institutes’ record. The results never lie (excluding exceptions) and this should be the first on your research list. If a CLAT coaching center has had consistent success in the past, it is safe to go ahead and seek admission. But again, make sure the result claimed are authentic and audited. For example, here at Law School Tutorials (LST), the excellent results of our students enrolled in various programs are authenticated and audited by trusted third-party firms.
- CLAT 2019: 7 out of 10 Top Rankers were LSTians.
- 800 NLU Calls in the year 2019.
- AILET 2019: 7 out of top 10 Ranks.
- 44 out of 73 selections in AILET 2019 were LSTians.
2. Faculty
The quality of the faculty is a very vital part of CLAT preparation. Ignoring this pointer may result in a cold failure. Where would we be without our teachers? The sense of direction is hampered without our gurus to guide us. While looking for CLAT coaching centres, ensure that the teachers who will be teaching are graduates themselves from top law schools or CLAT experts with an abundance years of experience.
3. Mode of Study (Online vs. Offline)
This is one of the most popular struggles among the students- the decision between online and offline mode of coaching. Most CLAT coaching centers provide both online and offline mode of study. The best way to decide is to weigh the factors of both offline and online mode, and see which one best suits your need. Students who reside nearby the coaching centers normally opt for the classroom teaching because it’s more feasible in every sense. The online mode is mostly picked by working professionals or the individuals who live far away from the center. Law School Tutorials (LST) provides both online/ offline mode, morning batch/ evening batch, and more, to give the students the maximum leverage of choosing the best mode of study.
4. Fees
Money is next pointer to look into- CLAT coaching fees range somewhere between 20,000 INR to 1.5 Lakh INR (depending on the period/mode of learning). While the online mode of study is more budget-friendly as compared to classroom study, do not opt for it just because it’s less expensive. As said time and again, every student has different needs in order to succeed, and therefore, this should not be compromised.
5. Comfortable surrounding
The mention of comfort may sound ironic considering how the preaching for success is all about hard work and slipping out the comfort zone to achieve the result needed. However, the CLAT coaching program should be a program that you’re most comfortable with. Long term or short term coaching, you will be dedicating your time and health into it. And that is why it is important to pick the program that best compliments your comfort. It won’t be a bad idea to sit for a demo class or two to make sure you like what you’re being taught or how you’re being taught.
Why CLAT coaching?
CLAT (Common Law Admissions Test) is an all India entrance examination conducted by the Consortium of National Law Schools/Universities for admissions into law colleges. The exam is held for the selection of candidates to their under-graduate and post-graduate degree programs (LL.B & LL.M).
CLAT coaching is a very important step to take if securing a seat in one of the top law colleges of India is your dream. Students need to take the right steps that are crucial for building their career. The foundation of the future success begins with initiatives taken right from the start. If anything, one of the transparent benefits of taking up CLAT coaching is the success of the students. The other benefits of taking up CLAT Coaching includes-
Strong Preparation:
CLAT coaching will give a structured mode of preparation. With early preparation under the direction of experts/teachers, students are better prepared to tackle the exam. One famous thing about CLAT exam is the surprise questions. Many times, the conducting NLUs have given a massive surprise by including questions that are out of the syllabus topics. CLAT Coaching helps in thoroughly understanding the topics that are sometimes hard to penetrate on your own- this helps the students overcome any surprise challenges, and appear victorious.
Disciplined Preparation:
A pinch of dedication goes a long way, but it goes even longer when combined with discipline. The most important keystone of life is discipline. With CLAT coaching, students are taught to be disciplined. The rhythmic cycle of the coaching classes lays down the norm of dedicating a certain number of hours every day through classes and preparation time for the class. The disciplined mode of preparation pushes the students to best manage their time and to try their best.
Pressure-free learning:
CLAT syllabus may not be the vastest syllabus under the sun, but it harbors its share of vastness. This can be daunting for the students. Learning with comfort under the guidance of the teachers and mentors gives a safe and relaxed environment. Pressure due to doubts or inability to achieve a clear concept will not be a constraint. With CLAT Coaching, the doubts are nursed by the teachers, while the students get to prepare better with an eased and relaxed mind.
Self-Analysis:
Another great advantage of CLAT coaching is self-analysis. With other students learning under the same roof, it gives a good platform to know where you stand among the other CLAT aspirants. The classroom competition enables the discovery of the level of competition up to a certain extent. It also helps in revealing both the improvement areas and strong areas of the student.
Study Material/ Test Series:
Students enrolled in the CLAT Coaching program get the benefit of receiving comprehensive study materials and regular mock tests. CLAT study materials are meticulously curated to give the students the best of best. It covers the basics and the advanced topics by subject experts. The test series provided are set in accordance with the pattern and difficulty level of the real exam. This is done to train and give the students the feeling closest to the CLAT paper.
These benefits don’t only fuel the favorable odds of CLAT success, but also helps in the long term academic journey. While there are always exceptions with enrolling into coaching programs, if you think proper expert guidance is for you then CLAT coaching is the right decision/ choice.
