CLAT preparation is rarely a straight upward curve. For many aspirants, progress stalls, scores plateau, and self-doubt begins to creep in. Digvijay Singh’s CLAT 2026 journey captures this reality honestly-and shows how patience, structured mock analysis, and steady effort can push you past that phase.
Starting with a first mock score of just 38 and attempting nearly 200 mocks, Digvijay experienced every phase of preparation: slow improvement, stagnation, anxiety, and finally, confidence.
Instead of panicking when CLAT 2026 introduced an analytical-heavy logical reasoning section, he stayed focused on solving what he could and managing time efficiently.
In this interview, Digvijay shares how he handled score plateaus, improved weak areas like English, used mock analysis effectively, and balanced all five sections with a task-based approach.
CLAT 2026 Topper Interview: Digvijay Singh
Law Prep: Congratulations on your selection. How are you feeling right now?
Digvijay Singh:
Thank you so much. I’m feeling very good, honestly. The tension has reduced a lot now. After such a long preparation phase, this result feels very relieving.
Law Prep: Did you feel anxious after the exam, especially when the paper didn’t go as expected?
Digvijay Singh:
Not really. I didn’t expect an analytical-type logical reasoning section, but once I saw it, I just focused on solving the paper. I believe the best strategy is to keep solving without getting mentally stuck. Once you panic, you lose both time and marks.

Law Prep: Your journey from a first mock score of 38 to final selection is inspiring. Did you ever feel stuck during preparation?
Digvijay Singh:
Yes, definitely. It was a long phase where I felt stuck. My scores gradually improved and reached the 70s, but much of my CLAT preparation remained around that range.
When your scores plateau, self-doubt creeps in—especially when you hear others saying a mock was easy and you’ve made silly mistakes. That phase can be mentally challenging.
Law Prep: Did you ever feel like giving up during that phase?
Digvijay Singh:
I never felt like giving up completely, but I did worry that my mistakes would repeat in the actual exam. As your performance improves, the fear of messing up on exam day also increases. That fear is very natural.
Law Prep: How did you handle lengthy legal reasoning passages in the exam?
Digvijay Singh:
Being a classroom student helped a lot. We studied constitutional law, criminal law, and other core subjects in depth. Once your conceptual clarity is strong, even unfamiliar legal topics become manageable in the exam.
Law Prep: What role did Legal Express and CLAT Express play in your preparation?
Digvijay Singh:
Legal Express was extremely helpful, especially for current legal topics. For GK, CLAT Express was a game-changer.
This year, almost all current affairs questions—around 26 out of 28—were covered from CLAT Express. I had memorised it nearly page by page. No part of preparation is ever useless; you can’t predict what will appear in the exam.
Law Prep: How was your performance in Quantitative Techniques and Logical Reasoning?
Digvijay Singh:
My Quantitative Techniques was always decent; I mainly worked on improving speed. Ratios, percentages, and proportions were very important this year—almost all QT questions were based on these topics.
For Logical Reasoning and Analytical Reasoning, I prepared thoroughly by solving all modules and practising different passage types, so nothing felt unfamiliar in the exam.
Law Prep: English is a challenge for many aspirants. How did you improve in this section?
Digvijay Singh:
English was one of my weaker areas initially. My reading speed and comprehension were not strong at the start.
I attended classes and followed all the guidance given by Sonia Ma’am. With consistent practice, it improved significantly. Even students from Hindi-medium backgrounds can master English with patience and regular effort. Results don’t come immediately, but they do come.
Law Prep: You attempted around 200 mocks. How important was mock analysis for you?
Digvijay Singh:
Mock analysis is crucial. If you don’t analyse, your progress stops.
I maintained a detailed mock diary and noted every mistake. If you identify an error once, it usually won’t repeat. New mistakes may occur, but their frequency reduces drastically with proper analysis.
Law Prep: Did you make notes during your preparation?
Digvijay Singh:
I made limited notes. For GK, CLAT Express felt sufficient. I made some additional GK notes and followed newspapers regularly.
English didn’t require separate notes. My preparation was systematic—newspapers, modules, mocks, and analysis—and that boosted my confidence a lot.
Law Prep: Did you follow a strict timetable?
Digvijay Singh:
I followed a task-based timetable, not a time-based one. For example, completing a mock, revising an Express, or practising DI.
Once a task was completed properly, I moved on. This helped me avoid wasting time.
Law Prep: How did you manage revision, especially for GK and vocabulary?
Digvijay Singh:
Revision is extremely important. If you revise CLAT Express within three to four days, most facts stay fresh in your mind. Repetition removes the fear of forgetting.
Law Prep: What if daily targets are not fully completed?
Digvijay Singh:
That’s completely normal. If you plan ten tasks and complete eight properly, that’s good enough.
Your brain needs rest. Quality matters more than quantity.
Law Prep: Which subject did you find most challenging?
Digvijay Singh:
Initially, English felt challenging, but it improved with practice. Once comprehension develops, it supports all other sections because reading is involved everywhere.
Law Prep: Any final thoughts on the Quantitative Techniques difficulty?
Digvijay Singh:
QT was calculative but doable. If one section is tough, others are usually balanced. With consistent practice, QT becomes comfortable.
Law Prep: How did you balance all five subjects in a day?
Digvijay Singh:
I aimed to touch all five subjects daily—GK, Maths, English, Logical Reasoning, and Legal Reasoning.
In the initial phase, beginners can focus on two or three subjects per day. Later, once the basics are covered, handling all five daily becomes manageable. My journey had two phases—Class 12 and a drop year—and I adjusted my strategy accordingly.
Law Prep: Who would you like to credit for your success?
Digvijay Singh:
My Law Prep Tutorial friends, faculty, and peers played a huge role. I also interacted with friends from NLUs, which was very motivating.
This year, many of my friends got selected. It truly felt like a group achievement.
Law Prep: What message would you like to give to future CLAT aspirants? Is CLAT easy?
Digvijay Singh:
I won’t say CLAT is easy. Hard work is required in every phase of life.
But if you work hard consistently, results will come. Taking breaks is also important—even a full day’s break is okay. Consistency matters more than perfection.
