He started preparing for the CLAT in Class XI, where he spent the first year studying important legal concepts and the second-year practicing while continuing his academic work. He also received a perfect score of 99 percent on his high school board tests during this time.
“I made an effort to maintain a regular study schedule of three to four hours every day rather than cramming myself with hours.
“My biggest challenge was dealing with low mock scores and distractions such as social media,” Saksham told the media. He has been admitted to the National Law University (NLU) Bengaluru, one of the top legal education institutions in the nation, as a result of his exceptional performance.
