Avilokita began her NLSAT preparation in December 2024, shortly after her UPSC mains results were declared.
Rather than wasting time or delaying her decision, she pivoted to law with focus and determination.
That early clarity helped her design a study plan tailored to her strengths and academic experience.
She enrolled in NLTI’s NLSAT 2025 program that same month, committing to a rigorous and well-structured daily routine.
Her preparation window was approximately 4–5 months; tight, but effective due to her consistency, strategic allocation of time, and access to high-quality mentorship and mock resources.
Topper Insight: Starting 4–5 months before the exam is sufficient if you maintain daily momentum and use every week efficiently.
Avilokita’s daily routine during her NLSAT preparation was segmented into focused blocks of time, each dedicated to a specific component of the exam:
Despite her academic strengths, English comprehension and articulation were areas that needed attention.
To overcome this, Avilokita immersed herself in daily reading and writing exercises.
Her gradual improvement in writing clarity and structured argumentation made a significant impact, especially in Part B of the paper.
An interesting dimension of her strategy was the use of AI tools for note-making and revision.
These tools helped her manage the vast volume of current affairs efficiently, turning unstructured information into concise, review-friendly formats.
From organizing news to summarizing editorials, technology played a quiet but crucial role in her NLSAT 2025 preparation.
Takeaway: Identify your weak areas early. Use every tool at your disposal, digital or otherwise, to bridge those gaps.

A standout element of Avilokita’s NLSAT preparation was her clarity about time allocation. Going into the exam, she had a specific plan:
Part A MCQs: 65–70 minutes
Part B Descriptive: 80–85 minutes split between legal reasoning and essay writing
This split allowed her to optimize the sections according to her strengths.
However, she wisely noted that exam-day stress can alter your execution.
For instance, even with practice, OMR filling consumed more time than expected during the actual exam.
To mitigate such risks, she practiced full-length mocks using physical OMR sheets, emulating the real test environment.
This small but critical exercise helped her handle logistics with confidence and speed on exam day.
Mock tests weren’t just a part of Avilokita’s schedule; they were central to her entire preparation strategy.
She took full-length mocks regularly, used the results to recalibrate her approach, and tracked her performance across sections.
What amplified the impact of these mocks was NLTI’s prompt feedback system.
Unlike platforms where students wait days for evaluations, NLTI ensured that mocks were evaluated quickly, with specific, actionable feedback.
This allowed her to:
Identify conceptual blind spots
Adjust her essay structure and depth of legal reasoning
Fix time management issues
Monitor improvement patterns across weeks
Topper Tip: Don’t just give mock tests. Study them. Dissect them. Learn from them.
