CLAT 2024 Exam Day Advisory Guidelines 

Students must learn a few tips and tricks on the day of the exam. These can be applied a few hours before the exam to have a successful attempt. 

1. Sufficient sleep: It is very important that the candidates have a good 7-8 hours of sleep in order to keep their minds focused and the process of thinking functional. 
2. Checklist of documents: Although the candidates will keep all the required documents handy for the day of the examination, it is recommended that they check them again to avoid the least chance of missing any document. Do not miss to take your admit card of CLAT 2024 along with a proof of identity such as an Aadhaar card / driving license / PAN card to the exam centre. 
3. Do not start a new concept on the day: Candidates sometimes assume that they can utilize extra time to read a new topic when their course is finished and revision is done. We recommend that you do not start a new topic on the exam day. This would just take up your memory and overwhelm you with additional knowledge that will lead to confusion during the test. Students usually panic when they begin mugging additional details, rather than revising the course prepared and relaxing.
4. Remember the location of the exam centre: Candidates must have detailed knowledge about the exam center such as its location, distance from home to the centre, travel time, common nearby landmarks, and so on to prevent any kind of trouble when approaching the examination center. 
5. Do not take unwanted items: Candidates should not carry unnecessary items like electronic gadgets including mobile phones, digital watches, calculators and so on inside the examination room. Only your admit card, ID proof, and basic supplies such as pencils, pens, and erasers are required. Anyone found not obeying laws will get debarred from the test.
6. Reporting time: It is crucial for candidates to report on time to the exam centre. In order to prevent inconveniences such as traffic congestion or car breakdown, it is strongly recommended to arrive on time at the exam centre at least 45 minutes to 1 hour before the test. 
7. Review seating arrangement: Candidates must verify the seating arrangement as soon as they enter the examination centre. The seating arrangement must be checked in addition to other details including name, roll number, and date of birth to ensure that the listed seat is correct and to avoid wasting time after reporting time in finding the seat.
