AIBE 2020 qualifier: Rinki Gupta wants to work for the underprivileged

A: I have completed my Bachelor in Art (Hons) and LLB (3 years) from Llyod Law College, Greater Noida. 

Q: What is your score in AIBE exam?  

A: I am still awaiting my AIBE score. It is expected to be released by April-end. 

Q: Could you tell us about your preparation strategy that helped you crack AIBE exam? 

A: I did not prepare much for this exam. I just studied previous year AIBE question papers, Bare Acts and most importantly, Criminal Manual, Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), Constitution of India that cover most of the questions. I also read newspapers and studied some landmark cases while preparing for the exam.  

Q: Did you take any coaching for the exam? 

A: No, I do not think coaching is required. I think self-study is better than relying on coaching institutes. 

Q: What study plan did you follow for the exam? 

A: Everyone thinks that one has to study a lot to qualify for this exam. That’s not true and my case was totally different. I was never stuck to any schedule and followed any study plan. Rather I used to study only in my leisure time.  

Q: Which books did you read to prepare for the exam? 

A: To qualify for the AIBE, the candidate is required to have a general understanding of the topic and conceptual clarity. Since I am a law graduate, my basic concepts were clear. The books, which I referred to include: 

• CPC by CKTakwani
• Company Law and Practice by AK Majumdar/Dr GK Kapoor
• Constitution of India by Durga DasBasu
• Sarkar’s Civil Practice and Procedure Manual
• Universal’s Criminal Manual
• Other Bare Acts of Universal Law Publishing Co Pvt Ltd.

Q: How did you deal with your strengths and weaknesses while preparing for the exam? 

A: I am a good planner. I can understand the situation well and make better strategy, but at the same time, I am not very good at writing stories. Since AIBE was an objective-type exam, so I did not face much difficulty in dealing with my strengths or weaknesses. 

Q: Was law always your first preference? 

A: Law was never my first preference. Studying law was an impossible thing for me. I was neither stuck to any schedule nor followed any study plan. Rather, I used to study only in my leisure time. 

Q: Any tips for students who are planning to take the exam.  

A: In order to qualify for the exam, one should be a fast reader and know how to read Bare Acts. He/she should be confident and clear about the basic concepts. 

Q: What are your future plans? 

A: I would like to work for the underprivileged and get justice for them. I want to give voice to those who are deprived of justice and are treated unfairly by the system.
