I recently got into the 5-year LLB program at USLLS, but today during the document verification and offline counselling, I felt quite shattered about my dreams and expectations. The crowd didn’t feel right to me, and maybe it’s just me, but since the cut-offs were lower this year, I couldn’t help but notice that the peer group wasn’t as competitive as I had imagined. I felt a bit out of place.
I haven’t even started preparing for CLAT 2026 yet (my CLAT 2025 rank was around 2.5k – Delhi quota, which honestly I consider sheer luck). I don’t know how I’ll do it, and I feel scared and lost. In fact, I didn’t even feel this lost after the CLAT 2025 results. Part of me feels I should’ve gone with HPNLU or another option.
I don’t mean to shame anyone or the crowd, it’s just my personal thoughts and feelings. I’m 17 right now, and I feel that I could handle taking a partial drop year, but of course, I don’t want to take a huge risk either.
If anyone here could share some wisdom, guidance, or even personal experiences, I’d be really grateful. At this point, I just want to figure out whether I should stick it out at USLLS or give CLAT another shot.
