Meet Badeti Sai Samir who secured 4th rank in the recently concluded TS LAWCET 2024 exam for 5-year LLB with a score of 82 marks. Coming from a family of lawyers, he too chose to pursue law. An aspiring civil servant, Sai Samir has decided to take up law amidst his civil services preparations. Read the full interview here as Samir shares his success story with Careers360.
Q. How did you feel when you saw your rank? Did you expect this rank?
I was extremely happy and delighted to see this rank. I knew I did well but I did not expect to get a rank 4. I am truly humbled and extremely grateful for this rank.
Q. Can you tell us about your educational and family background?
I have done my Engineering from Vasavi College of Engineering and later started preparing for Civil Services. Right now I am still pursuing my preparation for the civil services exam. So at the same time, I thought I’d pursue law. My father is the retired Dean and Principal of Gandhi Medical College and my mother is an Advocate who used to pursue cases in the Labour Courts for Singareni Collaries.
Q. What made you choose to pursue law?
My inspiration came from my grandfather who was a Public Prosecutor for the CBI and also specialised in ACB Cases. Even my mother was a practicing advocate so I was in the company of good lawyers which made me choose this field.
Q. Can you shed light on your section-wise preparation strategy for the TS LAWCET 2024 exam?
For current affairs, it is important to read the newspaper every day and also it would be useful to pick up a monthly current affairs magazine available in the market. For law-related questions, it would be very useful to pick up the past 10-20 years' questions and study each question in detail and at the same time make important notes of that. For aptitude, it would be useful to keep practising questions daily to get used to the exam pattern and pressure.
Q. Which colleges are you targeting for admission?
I am looking at Osmania University only for now.
Q. Did you appear for any other law entrance exams? If yes, how was your performance and which colleges are you targeting?
I appeared for CLAT in December, and I got a rank of 1,500 in that. I was not happy with my performance in CLAT.
Q. What are your future plans?
I plan to pursue law and at the same time continue my preparation for the Civil Services Examination and State Services Exam.
Q. What advice would you like to give to law aspirants preparing for TS LAWCET?
Read the paper every day and take as many mock tests as possible. Get used to taking exams in a pressure situation.
