Meet twin brothers, Parv and Argh Jain, who cracked the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) 2026 to secure places in the top 10. While Parv achieved AIR 2, Argh grabbed the 8th spot.
Reflecting on their experience,
the students emphasised consistency and academic structure as crucial factors. Starting preparations for the law early, from class 11, helped them build strong fundamentals, they stated. With the discipline of classroom learning, regular mock analysis, and close mentor interaction playing a decisive role, it helped them secure places in the top 10.
The 18-year-olds, who hail from Greater Noida, are currently studying in class 12 at Delhi Public School, all set to appear for the board exams in March this year. Their father is a Chief Engineer with the Border Roads Organisation (BRO) who is currently posted in Shillong, while their mother is a homemaker. Their parents noted that a clear academic roadmap contributed to their growth in performance, confidence, and emotional maturity.

Both Parv and Argh share fascination with the legal world, coupled with his interest in humanities and debating, that naturally led them to pursue law. Their preparation commenced in 11th grade, establishing a consistent newspaper-reading habit, and taking weekly mock tests apart from taking coaching at LegalEdge Delhi.
“I began my preparation in the 11th grade, initially focusing on building a consistent newspaper-reading habit. I followed this by taking one mock test per week. In the 12th grade, I increased my intensity, dedicating 6–8 hours daily to self-study in addition to reading the news. Throughout my preparation, I prioritised organic knowledge growth and ensured I never accumulated a General Knowledge (GK) backlog,” Parv said.
Initially, the brothers attended school regularly, completing their schoolwork on campus to focus on CLAT preparation after school hours. As the exam approached, they reduced school attendance while staying updated with the curriculum, effectively managing both school and CLAT without neglecting either, Parv told News18.
Parv advises future CLAT aspirants to focus heavily on newspapers and reading, stay curious about world events, and explore the legal field beyond the competitive exam syllabus. He believes it is crucial to recognise that CLAT is just an exam—albeit significant—and managed stress by taking occasional breaks and maintaining a balanced life outside of preparation.
Argh shares that CLAT requires candidates to train themselves to read, comprehend, stay observant, and remain calm under pressure. “Personally, I think CLAT is an exam of aptitude and finesse. One simply needs to train themselves to read, comprehend, keep their eyes and ears open, and keep calm under pressure. My focus was on figuring these things out before doing anything else. Most importantly, the one thing that helped me the most was the realisation that, at the end of the day, it’s just another exam and it’s just another college. If one learns to think like that, he/she can perform at optimum levels,” he stated.
