Following in the footsteps of his brother, Gnanankith J.A., a student from Mysuru, set out with a goal to secure a seat in the National Law School of India University (NLSIU) this year. With his grit and hard work, he ended up securing the first rank in the country under the Scheduled Caste category in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), conducted by the Consortium of National Law Universities.
“I had not expected to get a rank as high as this. I truly have no words to express how I am feeling. I am very thankful to my mother who supported me in every step of the way and my brother (who studies at NLU Jodhpur) for his guidance. Although I had not started preparing for the exam in a serious manner until December, after that, my teachers at the coaching institute helped me greatly,” Gnanankith said.
He added that he has chosen to pursue law as it will help him contribute to society in an informed manner. “I will be more aware of rights and laws. Besides, if I decide to write UPSC exams, studying law would be very helpful.”
