1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

At worst he would be one year behind comparatively, assuming he graduated from school at 18.
Only 1 guy I'm aware of joined college at 17.
Consider me, took CLAT'20 without much prep - didn't get anything. Took CLAT'21, will probably get into a Lower NLU and I'm going to take it again, primarily, because I had a retarded invigilator and center for which I made quite a mess.
Honestly, CLAT doesn't require a full-time prep; people manage CAT, GMAT, and LSAT (US) while working!
So, do take it again! Even if you get into a good Law School at 20 it would be worth it. But, as I said earlier, do NOT drop, get into decent law school, or perhaps get any other degree, and prepare in parallel - at least that is what I'm going to do.
Also, even if you and I - unfortunately - didn't manage to crack it again for some reason, then at least we would have something to fall back upon!
However, if you plan to get into litigation then DON'T because ultimately you'll be trading your 'practice' years for CLAT preparation - a year 'wasted' at another school which, I believe, isn't a wise decision.
Godspeed!
