Due to the increasing number of applicants and cut-throat competition, the level of difficulty in Common Law Admission Test has also increased. There are many institutions offering classes to prepare for CLAT both in online and offline modes.

Firstly, students can study anytime anywhere as per their comfort and flexibility. The major benefit is the 24*7 facility with online classes which offers the students to choose a time and study whenever they want to.
Secondly, in online preparation, if a student doesn’t want to enroll to any coaching classes there will no coaching cost involved as many videos and tutorials are available online for free these days on Google, YouTube along with a variety of preparation apps for the aspirants which are completely free of cost. This also makes it affordable for everyone to study in this manner.
Another major benefit with online classes is that lot of mock tests are available for the students which helps them in understanding how well their preparation is going on and also, they are able to compare their performances with other students which aids in getting a clearer picture about the competition the students would face in the actual examination. Also, availability of online courses on smart phones, tablets and laptops is making the online medium of preparation even more popular.
