Rahini, who scored 29.75 in CLAT, ranked 3,724 in the Scheduled Caste category and 185 in the Persons with Disabilities category in the test. Her All India Rank was 47292. She secured admission to the Dharmashastra National Law University at Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh in the second round of JoSAA counselling.

Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Monday posted a congratulatory message on X. The CM, en route to Tiruchi from Thanjavur, met and congratulated Ms. Rahini. He said that he gifted her his pen, which he used to sign Dravidian Model schemes, wishing her many more achievements.
'I always wanted to study Law and prepared with an aim to crack the entrance exam. My family and teachers were supportive. Mock tests and revisions, which were conducted regularly, helped me,' said Rahini, who lost her mother and is raised by her grandmother. Her father, S. Dayalan, works in a hotel. Rahini is his only child.
V. Paneerselvam, headmaster of the school, said that her education and hostel expenses will be fully covered under the Naan Mudhalvan scheme. Rahini's success, he said, would inspire other children from the community to pursue studies in institutions of eminence.
