My daughter has scored 85.6% in commerce stream in class 12th and is wanting to drop the year to pursue CLAT preparation. Is it a wise decision please and how can I otherwise ensure that in the event of she being unsucessful, she atleaset does not waste one year of college...Regards
Ans: First of all, one year of gap after high school, in the grand scheme of things does not matter at all. And in fact, it is the most fruitful time in adolescence. I would suggest you support her for CLAT so that she cracks the best college. In any case, if she does not get a high rank in CLAT, she can always come back to other top universities for commerce. In the mean time, I would strongly recommend that she upskills herself in accounting tools, reading and other co- curricular areas. These will help her crack interviews in the top universities in India and abroad.
