If you are sure that you are going to opt for CLAT, then the best subjects to take will be in Commerce Streams and then go for B.Com and do LLB or after completing your class 12th grade, you can go for CLAT directly. If you decide on Arts, it will be beneficial for you as law course is based on theory and many of the subjects, which you learn in the arts are also taught in law. As per the eligibility criteria, there is no specific subjects to be selected for class 11th and class 12th, you can opt for any subjects, but you should score more than 50% marks.
