During her period of an internship, she felt that there is a need to improve the society. After seeing the huge lines of patients & the delays in services motivated her to take a step for this. She started her preparation while she was working. She gets less time compared to other students but she utilized her time very well.

And she also joined Nirvana for coaching as well as she utilized all the online sources available for the preparation like IAS baba or Insights etc. She makes notes of important topics from Law Ambition Institute & she also joined Lawxpert MV an online initiative for the law preparation. Her family members gave her an overview of what law is about & then she joined institutes for the deep preparation strategy.

Regarding the optional subject choice, she said: “I just want to say to everyone that taking up an optional should be based on your own liking and interest but along with the availability of guidance too.”
