Use the overview well
Planning your revision
Use a legal-material reading log: source, issue, principle and how it applies to a changed fact situation. This makes revision more useful than collecting case names alone. Keep the official subject headings as a coverage index and put your detailed notes behind them. When reading an extract, distinguish what the source decides from your own broader understanding of the topic.

Is this the complete official CLAT PG syllabus?
No. It is an editorial overview for the labelled cycle. Open the official documents above for every subtopic, paper instruction and exception.
Can I use this for a different exam cycle?
Use it as a starting point, then compare it with the notification for your own attempt. A reviewed older reference does not establish that a later syllabus is unchanged.
Does ticking every topic mean I am exam-ready?
The checks track your review of broad areas on this device. They do not measure mastery, completion of official subtopics or eligibility.
