It will be starting March 2017, till then, you can take the last five years' papers (there's eight, as of 2015; take all if you can), with highest importance to the latest paper, and least to the oldest. The latest will help you gauge the trend, and the rest four will show you how it - the types of questions, the framing, the difficulty - has varied over the years.
- Usually, they stick to a basic framework and just shuffle around that, so that way the exam itself as it is, is not too difficult, and it continues to remain that way. There's little chance that they'll follow the pattern from 5 years back, but again, it's important in order to ID the variation.
- This is especially important for CLAT, because contrary to what I said earlier, changes can be drastic, as seen last year. In 2015, the GC cut-off marks for NUJS was just a 100 or so, but for the previous year it was 148-ish (the top scorer in 2015 got a little over 140, which is therefore less than what the 250th ranker got in 2014). The questions were actually much, much tougher than usual.
- Why I specifically mentioned this is because most institutes may or may not ask you to look at it by yourselves/not stress enough/do it for you themselves. It's important that you see it for yourself. This exercise takes no time at all, and only makes you the smarter person.
With the Strengths and Weaknesses Analysis, you'll be much ahead of the rest if you take your time and do it properly, in an unprejudiced way, without exaggerating your abilities. Ensure that you do.
- Once done, the task is simple - practice and stay updated in your strong areas, much like going to the gym to stay fit; at the same time, do put in some extra hours in your weak areas. Remember, every mark counts, so do not even consider leaving out Maths (you'd be like 1/10 people if you say you wouldn't have that thought) or any other section.
- In a gist, maintain your strengths while improving your weaknesses.
Figure out the major things you have over the course of the year - school/college exams, vacations, getaways, big wedding parties, etc. The time that remains is the time you can dedicate to preparing for the exam.
- However, don't misinterpret my words such that you need to study every minute for a whole year to crack this exam. On the other hand, this is important for you to figure out when you need to finish certain things by.

You should not get too fascinated with ethical hacker as they show in movies. Most of the institutes provide just a basic fancy course under the name of ethical hacking, just to attract students and earn more. I would rather recommend you to go for security specialist professionals. These jobs are highly payable and in high demand as most companies need them to protect their own data. These jobs work on the same logic that the best thief can protect the data in the best way. For the same, you can go to some reputed computer training institutes like NIIT, etc. You can go for Java courses followed by networking courses and CCNA/CCNB (CISCO) courses. After this, you can also opt for CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) certification courses, if you wish to. Ensure you do these courses alongside a degree course for better outcome. I hope I have been able to answer your queries to your satisfaction.

Hello Manan,
Commerce and science are the two broad categories. In commerce, you can go for arts/ design, business, finance and banking.
In science, you have engineering and medical. Some new streams are also in demand nowadays like bio- tech, nano technology, agriculture and genetic. Students are also moving in fashion designing and interior designing. The research oriented students can go for KVPY and get into institutes like IISC or IISERs.
There are courses like mechanical/ electrical and computer science in engineering to newer ones like hotel management and fashion designing. You can opt for any of these as per your interest.
I hope it helps. If so, kindly upvote this answer. If you have any further questions, kindly revert.
