Needless to say I turned my preference towards law. My parents suggested CLAT to get into an NLU and enrolled me in online coaching. I was not serious in it and deservingly flunked it spectacularly with around a 10000 rank (it certainly didn't help that they changed the pattern during 2021 itself).
Next year in second sem, my parents insisted me to try getting into an NLU. I reluctantly did self study and got around 2500. Got called for counseling but rejected it because I was sure that I will get only a remote NLU at maximum. They seemed to be frustrated at my indifference to the exam and stopped pushing me.
However recently after I realized my priorities in life and decided that I wanted to enter corporate world in future, I came to know that Tier 1 NLUs are the only way. Regret hits hard like a truck.
Currently I am living in a Tier 2(or 3) city, with few peanut law firms, studying in a well reputed state university with minimal fees and minimal placements(barely 5). I badly want to get into a law firm which pays well. I am willing to go anywhere. Should I write CLAT again this December( will turn 21 on first week)? If not what should I do? Publications in UGC approved journals and Tier 1 Internships?
