Shantanu is also preparing for his Class 12 board exams this academic session. Scoring an exceptional 99.987 percentile, Shantanu achieved 100.5 marks out of a revised total of 116, after objections led to the removal of four incorrect questions from the original 120 marks. His performance places him among the top legal aspirants nationwide. In an interview, Shantanu expressed his delight and shared his aspiration to join the prestigious National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru. He credited his success to his dedication, strategic preparation, and the support of his legal studies teacher, Shwetank Sharma, whose guidance was pivotal throughout his journey. Shantanu began preparing for the CLAT last year alongside his Class 11 studies, balancing schoolwork and coaching. His disciplined approach and commitment have made him a source of inspiration for aspiring law students. The CLAT 2025 results were announced on Saturday night, and candidates can check their scores on the official website of the Consortium of National Law Universities (consortiumofnlus.ac.in). Shantanu’s achievement not only highlights his personal determination but also sets an example of excellence for students aiming for success in competitive exams.
