In a first, Pachamalai boy cracks CLAT, secures National Law University seat
'This is a meaningful moment for our school and community,' said P. Arjuselvam, the school headmaster. A state-level Adi Dravidar official confirmed that Bharath is the top CLAT performer this year among students from the 28 Government Tribal Residential Schools in the state. He completed Class 12 in the commerce stream with a score of 356/600 and Class 10 with 353/500, both in the Tamil medium. Despite CLAT being conducted in English, Bharath bridged the language gap with consistent coaching and a short-term orientation programme at TNNLU. Bharath lost his mother a decade ago. His father, a daily-wage mason, raised three children with the support of his parents. 'He (Bharath) has inspired the rest of my kids,' his father said. After rewatching Jai Bhim, Bharath said, 'This time, I saw it differently. I want to be a lawyer who stands up for people like us.'
