Q. Congratulations! Did you expect to be the topper of AILET 2019?
No, I never imagined such a good rank in AILET 2019 because of the unpredictable nature of the paper. I was pleasantly surprised to see my rank.
Q. Is NLU Delhi your first preference?
Yes I would definitely prefer NLU Delhi over other law colleges.
Q. Can you tell us your preparation strategy that helped you crack AILET exam?
AILET exam always has a new element every year. So I tried to cover as much course as I could so that I was ready for all the surprises that may come in the paper. I gave special attention to mock tests and regular revision. Writing mocks helps you realise your strengths and weaknesses which is very beneficial during AILET preparation.
I made it a point to read and make notes of daily current affairs from newspapers and websites because AILET exam requires deep knowledge of current events. I focused a lot on English as well and practised RCs (Reading Comprehensions) almost every day, along with revising vocabulary. I was good in Maths and Reasoning so I practised them through mocks only.
Overall, I made it a habit to study for 8-10 hours daily to crack this exam. While giving the exam I tried solving the easy questions first and then came to the difficult ones so that I don’t lose marks while unnecessarily attempting the difficult questions.
Q. Did you taking any coaching for this exam?
Yes, I was a student of ClatPrep Education, Jaipur.
Q. What study plan did you follow for this exam?
I always planned a day ahead so that I could finish my AILET syllabus in time. Before going to bed every night, I planned what I was going to study the next day so that I don’t waste any time wondering what to study.
Time Management is really the key to crack these types of competitive exams so I focused on that. I gave more time to my weak subjects and just practised my strong subjects with mocks. I analysed mocks with great diligence because the questions from mocks are a great way of understanding new concepts and brush up the old ones.
Q. Which books did you study for the exam?
Static GK: Lucent’ GK, General Knowledge by Arihant, and GKToday questions
Current Affairs: AffairsCloud, GKToday, Insights on India, JagranJosh, and Competition in Focus magazine
Legal Aptitude: Universal Guide to CLAT & LLB and coaching material
English: Objective General English by SP Bakshi, Descriptive General English by SP Bakshi, English Grammar & Composition by Wren and Martin, Objective General English by RS Aggarwal, Barron’s Word List, and Word Power Made Easy
Maths: Quantitative Aptitude by RS Aggarwal
Logical Reasoning: A Modern Approach to Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning by RS Aggarwal
Q. What other law entrance exams did you take or are planning to take?
Apart from AILET, I also gave Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) and Symbiosis Law Test (SLAT) this year.
Q. Was law always your first preference?
I developed my liking for the field of law since the past two-three years only but am excited to start learning more about it.
Q. Any tips for students who are planning to take the exam next year?
Self-confidence and positivity go a long way in helping you achieve a good score. Preparing for this exam might seem difficult at times but remember that it will all be worth in the end. Don’t try to force yourself into studies, ease into it. Success would come eventually if you keep striving honestly and diligently. I would like to wish all those who are planning to take this exam next year a very good luck.
Q. What are your future plans?
I would like to finish my studies from a reputed National Law University and make my name in the field of corporate law after that.
