# Do we read everything in the newspaper or some specific sections/news?

You do not need to read the newspaper cover to cover. Prioritise major national and international developments, government and policy decisions, Supreme Court/legal developments, the economy, international affairs, science and technology, and significant awards, appointments and reports. This aligns well with the areas listed in the official CLAT Current Affairs and General Knowledge syllabus.
