I know tons of folks sudhir has mentored who didnt even go to NLUs and were certainly not toppers.
folks are so consistently wrong about him its wild.
All I did was - I worked my butt off for him, proved to him that my grades did not determine my potential, and showed him how honest I was about the work. Build an authentic connection and he might appreciate you. If you try to suck up to him and try and game some system- he might still write you a letter- but he wont actually admire you. Man is all about the work.
Topper? Yeah maybe - but you have to realise that you also should be curios to be trained under him. The rebel silent kind is partially true
I loved the sacracstic take here btw
Be a high achieving dropper (he loves to mentor people who reattempt and become champs -for instance he feels droppers especially for clat have a lot to offer and if they shine academically in college - boom , you have it)
Be like a stone , don’t question his decisions , just follow them. Be against the protests the students organise even if they have legitimate demands
Be more inclined towards Oxford/Yale. In any way possible.
Have an aspiration to become a Rhodes scholar - even if you don’t become one , he won’t care.
Be a snob intellectually and top exams - sudhir loves this category even though it doesn’t add any value
Last but not the least - if you are that rebel silent kind of a topper detached from batch , sudhir will Mentor you for sure.
Whatever I said above is correct because sudhir doesn’t love to train people with flaws , he loves to train merciless , unnecessarily determined robots. I am up for a genuine discussion on this. I hope this passes moderation.
It’s not so much about being “bright” as it is about being hardworking and earnest with him.
