Aashayein 2.0 Launch: Expanding Beyond Judiciary with CLAT PG Preparation

This expansion reflects Aashayein's commitment to helping law aspirants excel in every stage of their legal career.

Key Details at a Glance

Introduction

If you follow Aashayein Judiciary, you already know Nitesh Sir for his judiciary and APO content. In a recent live session, he announced something new. It is called Aashayein After LLB, a separate platform for law graduates who want to explore options beyond judiciary and APO exams. This blog covers everything that was shared in that launch, from what the platform is, to the first course it will offer, to the free booklet that came with it.

What Is Aashayein After LLB?

Aashayein After LLB is a new platform from the Aashayein Judiciary team. It is separate from the main Aashayein Judiciary platform, with its own YouTube channel and social media handles. The idea is simple. Judiciary and APO exams are not the only path after an LLB. Many law graduates want to try other exams, but they do not always know where to start or who to trust for guidance. Aashayein After LLB is meant to fill that gap.

Nitesh Sir was clear that the same quality standard used on the Aashayein Judiciary channel will be carried into this new platform. He also said the team is under an obligation to maintain that same quality on everything they do, given how much support the original channel has received.

Why a Separate Platform for Post-LLB Exams

Many students had been asking for help with exams like CLAT PG and IBPS Law Officer. Nitesh Sir felt that judiciary and APO preparation is very different from these exams in approach. Judiciary and APO exams have Prelims, Mains and Interview stages, with subjective papers in Mains. CLAT PG, on the other hand, is a single objective paper based on reading and interpreting passages. Because the preparation style is so different, a dedicated platform made more sense than adding these courses inside Aashayein Judiciary.

He also mentioned that when the three year practice rule came in, many coaching institutes started offering combined courses for judiciary and CLAT PG together. He was never in favour of that approach, since the destination and the route for both exams are different.

Aashayein After LLB — Official Launch Event 

The First Course: CLAT PG

Aashayein After LLB will not launch with every course at once. To maintain quality, the platform is starting with just one course, CLAT PG. Other courses planned for the future include:

•      CUET PG, the entrance exam for LLM admission in universities other than the NLUs

•      AILET PG, the separate entrance exam for LLM admission at NLU Delhi, since NLU Delhi is not covered under CLAT

•      UGC NET JRF, for students who want to pursue an academic career

•      IBPS Law Officer and other law officer recruitment exams conducted across the country

These will be added gradually rather than all together, so the team can maintain the same content quality across each one.

Understanding the CLAT PG Exam

Since many judiciary aspirants may not be familiar with CLAT PG, Nitesh Sir walked through its pattern in the session. Here is what he shared:

•      CLAT PG is held once a year, in the month of December

•      It is a single paper of 120 objective type questions

•      There is no Prelims, Mains or Interview stage, unlike judiciary and APO exams

•      The total duration of the exam is 2 hours

•      Each correct answer gets 1 mark

•      There is negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer

•      Unlike CLAT UG, which has separate sections such as legal reasoning and quantitative aptitude, CLAT PG has only law based questions

•      There is no English, Hindi or General Knowledge section in this exam

Why Students Take CLAT PG

Nitesh Sir explained that students appear for CLAT PG for two main reasons:

•      To get admission into the LLM program at one of the National Law Universities, based on their CLAT PG score

•      To be considered for Law Officer positions at various PSUs, many of which use CLAT PG scores for recruitment

Format of the CLAT PG Paper

The questions in CLAT PG are based on passages, and these passages are mostly extracts from actual court judgments. The subjects these judgment extracts are drawn from include Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, Criminal Law, Contract Law, Torts, International Law, IPR, and a few other minor subjects. Candidates read a passage and then answer a set of MCQs based on it.

NLUs You Can Access Through CLAT PG

There are around 24 National Law Universities in India. Some of the top ones where you can pursue an LLM through CLAT PG include:

•      NLSIU Bangalore

•      NALSAR Hyderabad

•      NUJS Kolkata

•      GNLU Gandhinagar

•      NLIU Bhopal

•      DNLU Jabalpur

•      RGNUL Patiala

•      HNLU Raipur

•      RMLNLU Lucknow

It is worth noting that NLU Delhi is not part of CLAT. It conducts its own separate entrance exam, AILET PG, for LLM admissions.

Why CLAT PG Preparation Needs a Different Approach

If you have prepared for judiciary or APO exams, you may wonder how much of that preparation carries over to CLAT PG. Nitesh Sir addressed this directly in the session.

In judiciary and APO preparation, a large part of your time goes into gathering and retaining information before the exam. CLAT PG tests a different skill. It checks how well you can read a passage, comprehend it, and interpret it under a two hour time limit. If you already have strong conceptual clarity in your law subjects, that can act as a good starting point and give you an edge in understanding the judgments faster. But conceptual clarity from judiciary preparation alone may not be enough to clear CLAT PG. The approach to studying, reading and practicing has to be built specifically around this exam.

What You Will Get on the Aashayein After LLB Channel

The new YouTube channel will carry the same kind of academic and strategic content that the judiciary channel is known for. Here is what was announced:

•      Roadmap and orientation videos on how to approach CLAT PG, including scheduling and subject wise structuring

•      Subject wise deep dive videos aimed at building conceptual clarity

•      Dissection of previous year CLAT PG papers to help you understand the exam pattern and the examiner's thinking

•      A weekly series discussing multiple judgments, since CLAT PG questions are built around judgments

•      Career focused content, guidance videos, podcasts and live sessions on what comes after CLAT PG

The CLAT PG PYQ Booklet

Along with the channel, a printed booklet was also launched on the same day. It contains solved papers of CLAT PG from the last seven years, with full passages, questions, answers and explanations. A form link was shared in the session for anyone who wants to order a hard copy.

The booklet includes:

•      Seven years of CLAT PG papers with detailed solutions

•      A trend analysis showing how the weightage of questions has shifted from older landmark judgments to more recent judgments from the last two to three years

•      A topic wise breakdown showing which topics and subjects carry more weightage in the exam

•      A practice focused format, where each passage is followed by its MCQs first, with the answers and explanations placed only at the end, so you can practice properly instead of just reading through solved questions

Aashayein Judiciary's Approach to This Launch

Nitesh Sir was direct about why this platform is separate and not just an add on to the judiciary channel. He said the same commitment to concept clarity that has defined Aashayein Judiciary will carry over to Aashayein After LLB. The channel will not try to cover every post-LLB exam at once. It will start with CLAT PG, build it properly, and only then move to the next course.
