BENGALURU: Reading newspapers, analysing mock tests with friends, and sifting through pages of general knowledge was a routine for most of the last two years for 17-year-old Sanchith Sudhir Rau.
Son of Sudhir Rao, a software engineer, and Anuradha Rau, a yoga teacher, Sanchith has secured all-India rank 10 and Karnataka rank 1 in the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) UG 2025, whose results were declared Sunday. The Sadashivanagar resident secured 99.98 percentile.
A student of Sindhi High School in Hebbal, Sanchith told TOI his preparation began in May 2023 and intensified this year. "I would dedicate five to six hours on average beyond classroom studies. Whenever I felt a burnout, I would play tennis. My teachers were my biggest support — clearing doubts and providing clarity on the foundational aspects. Today I wrote the All India Law Entrance Test too," he said, having been coached at Career Launcher. He looks forward to joining the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru.
"I heard stories about my grandfather and his practice and was inspired to choose law as a profession," said the CBSE student.
