Common Law Entrance Test
(CLAT) changed after the Consortium of National Law announced a revised merit list Saturday.
Shivaani Joshi jumped to state rank 1 from 3 when the new merit list was announced.
Her rank improved from national rank 21 to 19. A student of Vydehi School of Excellence, Shivaani secured 87.2% in commerce with legal studies combination.
"Based on changes in the question paper, I expected a jump as I avoided some of the questions that the Supreme Court had removed," she said. "Law always interested me. I find how different people interact interesting and how words can make a difference in their conversation.
I have been into debating, I'm good with words and enjoy English and social studies," she said.
State rank 2, Kushal Kabra, is a student of Sri Kumaran Children's Home, Mallasandra. A regular at Model United Nations, Kushal says his interest in problem-solving and logical thinking helped him crack CLAT and choose law.
Sindhi High School student Sanchit Sudhir Rau, who was earlier state rank 1, is rank 3 in the new list.

State rank 7, Anikethan YS, is from Shivamogga. With no offline coaching available, Anikethan attended online classes of Career Launcher. "The results prove it doesn't matter where you are from. All that matters is hard work," he said. Son of a journalist and school teacher, Anikethan wants to join the public space and serve society, and law will lay a good platform for that.
CLAT, held on December 1, 2024, ran into controversy when some of the questions were challenged.
On May 7, the Supreme Court directed to rectify some of the mistakes and announce a fresh merit list.
"The ranks have gone up and down by a few numbers for all students. Those who are at the top and have only minor changes, are not worried as they will continue to get their preferred colleges. The tension is with those on the borderline. Candidates who would have got a seat in their preferred college earlier will face uncertainty now," said Rahul Reddy, city head, Career Launcher.
