well, that really depends on you anon. for me personally I think it was worth it, especially because in the realm of competitive exams, CLAT is probably one of the easiest exams in India and it doesn't take a lot of hard work to get into top 5 NLUs. I am in one of them, and have so far enjoyed the journey, the studies, the learnings. There have been some difficult times, there are often times of uncertainty and doubt regarding my future, my choices and my own "passion", but I absolutely do not regret being here.
