At a time when students after completing their intermediate are trying hard to secure a rank in IIT-JEE, there are some who are opting for a course in law and working equally hard to crack Common Law Aptitude Test, popularly known as CLAT in the country.
Chennai Engineering Colleges
CLAT is conducted by 14 national law universities for admission to undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes (LLB & LLM). Every year, thousands of students from all over the country take this examination. The result of CLAT announced recently witnessed science students passing with very good ranks. Of them, Gargi Rohi a resident of Sector-IV/C hogged the limelight as she bagged All India Rank 56 in CLAT-2012. Gargi a science student also secured a chance to study in three universities of Singapore, including National University Singapore. But she decided to take up law in the premier National Law University (NLU) in India.
Engineering Graduation
Gargi is the elder daughter of Saroj Kumar Tiwari, Public Health (BSL) and Manisha Tiwari, teacher in Delhi Public School (DPS). She is among the few students who were provided scholarship for studying in a top school of Singapore in 2008. She left India in 2008 and cleared her intermediate from St Andrew's School, Singapore this year. "Earlier I wanted to become an engineer, but studying in Singapore I found that law and medicines have more opportunity and scope of growth when compared to engineering. So I decided to become a lawyer," said Gargi.
Shaswat Shekhar, son of DGM, BSL, C S Sinha and resident of Sector-IV/C had cracked CLAT last year and secured 281 ranking in the exam. He is now studying in NLU, Bhopal. Shekhar took up law after giving up a course in engineering from IIT-Roorkee. Shekhar an ex-student of DPS is now happy and says that he has taken a wise step as studying law is more beneficial than engineering. Sinha said he was surprised when Shekhar told him about his interest in law while pursuing engineering in IIT-Roorkee. Normally in India, students are more inclined to take up engineering and medical courses. But seeing his interest in CLAT he decided to support his son in his endeavour.
