Honest, concrete actions — what to actually do this week and this month.
Decide your priority — UG admission (CUET), law (CLAT/AILET), or CA — and prep for one as primary, others as backups.
CUET UG: pick 3-4 strong domain subjects + General Test if your target college requires it (e.g., DU SRCC).
If aiming at NLSIU / NALSAR / NUJS via CLAT, write AILET as well — separate exam, NLU Delhi seat parallel.
CA Foundation is cleared by ~20-25% of attempters per cycle. Use ICAI's own study material; private coaching is supplementary.
IPMAT at IIM Indore is open to 17-20 year olds — most candidates don't realise this until too late.
