The roadmap SLA toppers follow — month by month, subject by subject. Start this strategy in Class 11 for the best outcome, or compress it to 6 months if joining late.
Months 1–3 — Foundation (Legal Aptitude + Reasoning)
Build the conceptual foundation for Legal Aptitude — torts, contracts, constitutional basics. Simultaneously start Logical Reasoning from fundamentals: syllogisms, analogies, and assumptions. Read one newspaper daily from Month 1 to build Current Affairs base.
SLA Tip: Legal Aptitude is the highest-scoring section — own it firstMonths 4–6 — Speed + GK Coverage
Shift from concept building to speed and accuracy. Start solving Legal Aptitude questions under time pressure. Cover 6 months of backward current affairs through SLA's monthly PDFs. Begin English vocabulary building — 20 words per day minimum.
SLA Tip: Cover 6 months of backward GK from Month 4 — never leave GK for the endMonths 7–9 — Mock Tests Begin
Start taking full-length PU Law-pattern mock tests every week. Track your performance section-by-section. Identify weak areas from mock analysis — not from gut feeling. Dedicate 2 hours per day to weak sections identified through mock data.
SLA Tip: 30+ mocks before exam day — students who take fewer than 20 mocks score 15% lowerMonths 10–11 — Previous Year Papers + Revision
Solve all available previous year PU Law papers under exam conditions. Identify recurring question types and patterns specific to PU Law (distinct from CLAT). Complete full revision of Legal Aptitude principles — all three major subject areas.
SLA Tip: PU Law has its own question pattern — previous years matter more here than in CLATMonth 12 — Final Sprint + Current Affairs Lock
Lock the current affairs window — stop adding new topics. Take 2 mock tests per week. Focus on accuracy over speed. Review all incorrect answers from previous 8 mocks. Sleep 8 hours. Do not start any new topic in the final 4 weeks.
SLA Tip: Revise what you know — do not learn new things in the final monthWhy SLA Is Chandigarh's Best PU Law Coaching
