The Pink City is fast developing into a coaching hub for Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) because of superb result by candidates. This has attracted many students from different parts of the country to make the city a gateway to their success.

Like Kota city which is synonymous for IIT coaching, Jaipur will become the magnet for CLAT preparation.

Gunjan Modi, a student from Bengaluru who secured 23 rank in India, said despite belonging to the city where first National Law University was established, there are no good coaching institutes.

“I couldn’t get good marks in my first attempt due to lack of guidance. Good rankers from Jaipur motivated my family members to send me to Jaipur for preparation. The teachers are good and students are able to learn basics and clear their doubts here,” said Gunjan.

Navneet Singh Rajpurohit, director of Law Prep tutorial, said that in last three years this trend has increased. “Jaipur city got AIR 1two times in 2017 and 2018 that helped us show our potential to others. Students from Odisha, Karnataka, UP, Bihar are flocking to the city and we can expect this number to rise further,” said Rajpurohit.

The number of applications has also risen in CLAT from Rajasthan. Last year, around 4,500 applicants were from Rajasthan which has now increased to more than 5,600. Students from Humanities and Commerce background are preferring to study for CLAT.

Earlier, litigation in courts was the only option for lawyers which requires lot of patience. But now, lawyer can earn well by doing work other than litigation – drafting, research or in mergers or acquisitions in corporations. In litigation as well, a law graduate does not have to work for a decade in courts to establish himself/herself in the profession with meagre payment as new law firms are coming up for that.

Abhishek Chaturvedi, director of CLAT Prep coaching institute, said that it’s not just chartered accountancy for Commerce students anymore. “Students from different background are studying for law exams looking at the lucrative career opportunities. Even, science students are opting it as a career option. For CLAT preparation many students have started to shift their base to Jaipur. They take admission in some school here to prepare for CLAT. We can say that in coming times, Jaipur will become a hub for CLAT preparation,” said Chaturvedi.
