There are numerous competitive exams in India like National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for medical students, Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for engineering students, Common Law Entrance Test (CLAT) for law students etc.
Hundreds of thousands of students take part in these exams but only a few of them are selected which results in a lot of competition among the students. CLAT and DU-LLB entrance exams are among the toughest exams for law entrances.
Clearing these exams are not easy and many students aim at clearing these so that they can get admission to the college they want to study in.
Students are mostly confused about how to study for their board exams as well as their entrance exams and are under a lot of burden of their studies and from where to study everything. What we study in our schools is totally unrelated to what we cover for these competitive exams.

Entrance exams like CLAT and DU-LLB entrance test have topics like current affairs, the law of contracts, the law of torts, etc., that a student may face difficulty in studying by himself/herself. These are the topics that are not taught in the school, especially legal aptitude and are very difficult to study by yourself hence coaching institutes are useful here as the teachers can teach the students about these topics from their experience and solve the doubts of the students.
