Interview With Rujhan Firoda
Law Prep: How did your interest in law begin?

Rujhan: Completely. Law is about clarity, confidence, and interpretation. Being expressive has always helped me.
Law Prep: What exactly happened on the night of December 7th when CLAT results came?
Rujhan: It was heartbreaking. I expected above 95 marks and went to bed early because of AILET the next day. Suddenly, my phone started buzzing. When I checked, my score had fallen to 87, rank above 1000. I was shocked.
Law Prep: You were living alone. How did you handle the emotional crash?
Rujhan: It was one of the longest, toughest nights of my life. I felt alone, devastated, confused. But early morning, my best friend Dushyant Singh (CLAT 2025 Rajasthan Topper) told me:
“CLAT is done. The rank won’t change. Focus on AILET.”
That conversation changed everything. I picked up my books and told myself:
“One last time. I will not lose tomorrow.”

Rujhan:
- Accepting that CLAT wouldn’t change
- Trusting my strengths (English + reasoning)

Rujhan: A lot. I gave around 200 CLAT mocks from Class 11 onward. LPT taught me elimination, patterns, how to think, and how to stay mentally stable. The faculty — Anupama Ma’am, Mukul Sir, Sonia Ma’am, Megha Ma’am — shaped my preparation.
Law Prep: Any thoughts on your future career path?
Rujhan: I’m open-minded. Litigation attracts me, but I want to explore corporate, research, and all opportunities before deciding.
