So is CA better or Law if I would have gotten into my state NLU i.e. CNLU.
So should there be a regret for not choosing CNLU or I would be happy to drop the idea of not getting into it.
I am 18 btw
Thanks for your suggestion.
CA is merit
Difficult to fail law.
Law is a far tougher nut to crack than any other profession, you can try if it's something you really need to achieve
While there is no right answer to this question, let me tell you a few nuggets of experience that may help you with your decision.
Law completed from any college/university other than from top one or two national law universities is basically run in the mill course. Completing CA with internship, college, etc. can be really tough. But once you have done the hard work and completed your CA (which has few law/tax papers), you can anytime complete a 3 years law course from any morning law college along with your work. I have seen may CAs who have done law later and are now established (first-generation) lawyers/ tax experts and they have all echoed that while their preliminary practice is now legal, it was their CA course which gave them the strong foundation on which they have built their practice.
However, there is always more to life than Law/CA and trust me when I say that you will have to take tougher decisions in life than choosing CA or Law. So, take your time (not too much though!) and do whatever you think will help you excel in life as a person.
