AILET 2017 Topper, Vedangini Bisht, AIR 4
A student of General BC Joshi Army Public School, Pithoragarh (Uttarakhand), Vedangini Bisht has secured Rank 4 in AILET 2017 with a score of 96/150 marks.
An avid debater and quizzer, Vedangini and her family feel that law is the best suited career for her. Her father is a senior officer in the Border Security Force. Due to the nature of her father’s job they had to keep moving from one place to another. But that did not stop Vedangini from working hard and following her passion for law.
Her hobby is to read books, ranging from Dan Brown to Rashmi Bansal. Apart from that, she also enjoys listening to music and dancing. She further shared that a game of badminton is always on the top of her refreshers list.
In a candid interview with Shiksha, Vedangini shares her success mantras, preparation strategy for AILET, future plans, and more. Go through the complete interview below:
Q. Congratulations on being an AILET topper! Did you expect to be the topper of AILET 2017?
Ans. Somewhere at the back of my mind, I definitely wanted to be the topper. But in an exam with just 52 seats, my expectations were a bit low. I was expecting that I would get selected but I could not believe that I am one of the toppers.
Q. Was NLU Delhi your first preference?
Ans. NLU Delhi is one of the premier law institutes in the country so it was definitely very high on my preference list.
Q. Could you tell us your preparation strategy for AILET exam?
Ans. My preparation strategy was topic-wise conceptual clarity. English and GK were very vast subjects so I began my preparation for these subjects as well as Logical Reasoning from Class 11th. Maths and Legal Reasoning have comparatively less syllabus, so I took up these subjects in Class 12th along with Current Affairs. My strategy was to be prepared for the worst. I prepared English and Logical Reasoning from CAT books to get an edge in these subjects.
Q. Did you take any coaching for this exam?
Ans. I currently live in the small town of Pithoragarh, the biggest disadvantage of which is lack of peer groups and coaching facilities. I mostly relied on self-study and took the test series and correspondent course of LegalEdge.
Q. What study plan did you follow for this exam?
Ans. The most crucial thing for me was to manage law preparation along with Class XII board exams preparation. I believe in following a rigid time table and allotted time to different subjects based on my SWOT analysis. I am not on social media, so distractions were a far cry.
Q. How did you deal with your strengths and your weaknesses while preparing for the exam?
Ans. I tried to make my strengths even stronger and worked on my weaknesses so I could make them irrelevant during the exam. I gave more time to my weak subjects such as Maths.
Q. What other law entrance exams did you take or are planning to take?
Ans. I took only AILET and CLAT.
Q. Was law always your first preference?
Ans. Considering my interest in debating, law was always my first preference. Also, after a clear assessment of my strengths and interest, my family was in unison that law suited me the best. It’s a career that I am really looking forward to joining and the entire journey through the law college is overwhelming in itself.
Q. Any tips for students who are planning to take the exam next year?
Ans. Prepare early. That can save you from a lot of pressure at the last moment. There is a lot of study material out there but learn to be selective. Whatever you study, give it your best. Also, during the exam, instead of being pumped up with motivation, being cool and calm will be more beneficial.
Q. What are your future plans?
Ans. I have not really decided the field I want to specialise in. First of all, I am looking forward to joining the college, interact with various professors and luminaries, get to know the subjects in detail and then decide on the field that suits me best.
