Speaking with HT, his father said, “Saksham wanted to be a lawyer since he was in Class six and he has worked hard to achieve his dream. We are a family of engineers and were surprised by his decision to pursue liberal arts. Even his school insisted on Saksham pursuing pure sciences but he insisted on taking arts and legal education. For the last one year, he is spending six to seven hours daily on preparing for the CLAT entrance.”
