AILET Topper Interview 2018: AIR 11, Livie Jain wants to become a Judge

A Commerce stream student from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), Livie Jain scored 79/150 in AILET 2018 to secure Rank 11 in what is considered to be the toughest law entrance exam conducted in the country. She was a topper even at school level and secured 94.4% in her CBSE Class 12 result.

When asked how she was feeling, Livie shared that she was not even hopeful about clearing the exam and securing such a good rank was totally not expected. Talking about her law school preference, Livie said that National Law University, Delhi is not her first choice. With respect to her preferences she would rank NLSIU Bangalore above NLU Delhi.

Livie Jain spoke to Shiksha and shared how she prepared for AILET 2018 and offered prep tips to aspirants. Read the detailed interview for more information on how Livie cracked All India Law Entrance Test.

Thank you! No, I never expected such a good rank. I was not even hopeful of clearing the exam. The exam was difficult, but I guess the choices I made in attempting the questions made all the difference.

The credit goes to LegalEdge! We were treated as a family and got all the help necessary for the preparation. Harsh Sir and Karan Sir are great mentors. It will not be exaggeration to say that, ‘Yes, LE over delivers!’

Of course, my parents acted as the foundation of my success. They supported me in every phase of the preparation and acted as the energy drink! And my brother who is the joy in my life!

I want to thank my mentor Virendra Sir, a teacher and a guide for life, who helped me during the toughest phases of my life.

Also, I would like to thank my friends who never allowed me to lose hope and encouraged me to give my best.

I didn’t have a preparation strategy specific to AILET. But the LegalEdge mock tests helped me to understand the difficulty level and pattern of the exam. I focused on improving the reading speed and vocabulary which, no doubt, helped me score in the exam. I had to work harder with English owing to my background. My weakest section was general knowledge. The best part was, I knew where I needed to put my labour. Maths was never a nightmare, and I had a way with it. I had an acclivity towards logical reasoning but I never left these sections untouched. Polishing is what one needs!

Yes. I joined Legal Edge which was indeed one of the best decisions I made.

I never planned for long periods. I had a new plan for each day which I was determined to achieve. I studied 3 subjects each day which always included general knowledge. I focused more on solving questions. I always monitored the time taken to solve the questions across all the sections.

I worked harder on the weaknesses and polished the strengths.

My grandfather, Mr Nirmal Kumar Jain, worked as an employment officer before retirement. My father’s name is Mr Rajesh Kumar Jain. He is a civil engineer by profession. My mother, Mrs Bhawana Jain, is a home-maker. My brother is waiting CBSE Class 10 results and is wishing to pursue IIT JEE.

To name a few; I like sketching and writing poems. I also love reading novels.

I appeared for CLAT and SLAT, besides AILET. SLAT was the easiest of all and AILET the hardest. The introduction of negative marking made it tougher besides the length of questions.

Yes. The day I started thinking about my career, I always pictured myself as a judge.

Stick to revision. Revise as many times as you can. Study using your full potential, from the start. Don’t wait to start studying a month before the D-Day.
