Interview With AILET 2025 AIR 33 \u2013 Shreshthi Bhandari<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Law Prep:<\/strong> Congratulations, Shreshthi! What rank did you secure in AILET 2025?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shreshthi<\/strong>: Thank you! I secured AIR 33 in the AILET 2025 exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law Prep: Was AILET always part of your plan, or were you mainly focused on CLAT?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shreshthi<\/strong>: My entire preparation was for CLAT. AILET always felt unrealistic because there are very low seats. I did study for it, but without expectations. But destiny works in surprising ways!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law Prep: <\/strong>CLAT results impacted many students mentally. How did you manage the shock and still give your best in AILET?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shreshthi<\/strong>: It wasn\u2019t confidence \u2014 it was determination. My CLAT rank wasn\u2019t bad, but it wasn\u2019t what I wanted. I was heartbroken. But AILET was my last chance for NLU Delhi, so I forced myself to stay focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law Prep: <\/strong>Were you panicking during AILET, considering your CLAT experience?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shreshthi<\/strong>: Not at all. AILET was the opposite of CLAT for me. On CLAT day, I hardly slept, was extremely nervous, overthought everything, and got stuck in GK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On AILET day, I was calm, had zero expectations, and read every question properly. That made all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law Prep: <\/strong>GK was crucial in AILET this year. How did you prepare?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shreshthi<\/strong>: A day before AILET, I revised major topics \u2014 CLAT Express<\/a><\/strong> notes, newspaper notes, and important topics. I couldn’t revise the last few notes because CLAT results came out. But earlier consistency saved me. GK ended up being my strongest section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law Prep: <\/strong>Students often skip AILET. Is that a mistake?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shreshthi<\/strong>: Yes, a huge mistake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CLAT didn\u2019t go as I hoped, but AILET worked out beautifully. Your mindset on exam day can change everything. You should never skip AILET \u2014 you never know which exam will favour you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shreshthi<\/strong>: Monday\u2013Wednesday: I did nothing. I cried a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday\u2013Saturday: Intense revision. AILET was my only path to NLU Delhi<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That goal kept me going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Law Prep: <\/strong>What message would you give to students who didn\u2019t do well in CLAT?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Shreshthi<\/strong>: Your hard work never goes to waste. One exam doesn\u2019t define how smart you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
