CLAT 2026 Delhi Toppers: AIR 2 & AIR 8 — Parv Jain and Argh Jain’s LegalEdge Journey to NLSIU Bangalore

CLAT 2026 results are out, and this year brought a story that feels rare even in a high-achiever ecosystem—two twins, one shared dream, the same coaching institute, and single-digit ranks. Meet Parv Jain (CLAT 2026 AIR 2) and Argh Jain (CLAT 2026 AIR 8)—students of LegalEdge (South Extension, Delhi), now headed to NLSIU Bangalore.

In an exclusive conversation at the LegalEdge centre, the twins opened up about when they chose law, how they prepared over two years, what they did when mock scores dipped, and how they used their “twin advantage” in the healthiest way possible—collaboration without distraction.

Same Home, Same Goal, Different Personalities — One Shared Outcome

When asked about their relationship, the answer was simple: “We are twins.” But what followed was more interesting. This wasn’t a perfectly “planned” twin strategy where both decided, in a single meeting, to do the same thing. It was more organic.

They admitted there’s always a natural influence when you grow up together—if one twin explores something, the other automatically ends up observing, discussing, and evaluating it too. Over time, their interest in humanities, reading, and legal news shaped into a solid decision: law as a career and CLAT as the gateway.

When Did They Decide on Law and Start Preparing for CLAT?

Both Parv and Argh trace their “law clarity” back to Class 9–10. That’s when the research started—reading, exploring options, and realising they genuinely enjoyed legal content. CLAT also felt like the right exam fit because it rewards reading, comprehension, and logical thinking.

Their formal, structured preparation began in Class 11. After Class 10 boards, they enrolled at LegalEdge’s South Extension (Delhi) centre and stayed consistent for two full years (Class 11 and Class 12).

Fun Twist: They Initially Wanted Different Colleges

Here’s the part that made everyone smile in the room—both twins actually wanted to go to different colleges. Not because of disagreement, but because after spending 18 years together, they thought a “change of scene” would be healthy. They joked that if they end up in the same college, they’ll end up knowing each other’s stories too well—school stories, then college stories—everything.

But destiny (and preference lists) had their own plan. The story now is bigger than “different colleges”—it’s two single-digit ranks, and both heading to NLSIU Bangalore.

How Did They Study: Together or Separately?

This is where their approach becomes a learning template for many aspirants. They didn’t study like a “pair” sitting together with the same book open at the same time. Most of their preparation happened individually. What they did together was smarter and more scalable.

They quizzed each other. They cross-checked GK. They discussed mock outcomes. They compared thought processes. They studied the same areas but often at different times and in different ways—so their learning styles didn’t clash, they complemented.

One of the strongest habits they shared: post-mock analysis together. After attempting a mock, both would sit down, check scores, and decode the “why” behind right and wrong answers. When you discuss the same mock with someone who took it seriously, you learn how you should have thought during those two hours. That became a massive advantage.

Weak Sections: What Was Tough and How Did They Fix It?

Even AIR 2 and AIR 8 have weak points. The difference is—they treat weak areas like projects: identify, isolate, and fix with deliberate practice.

Parv’s weak areas: Quant and Analytical Reasoning (AR). His solution was straightforward: practice separately, repeatedly, until the “how to do it” became automatic.

Argh’s weak area: Critical Reasoning (CR). His issue wasn’t lack of ability, it was overthinking—especially when attempting CR at the end. His correction was a mindset shift: trust your first instinct, don’t overcomplicate. He also credited mentor guidance for reinforcing the habit of committing to an option and moving forward.

The LegalEdge Mentors Who Shaped the Journey

Preparation becomes smoother when mentorship is consistent. The twins acknowledged the role of the faculty team at the South Extension centre and the importance of being connected to mentors beyond just classroom teaching.

• Abhishek Sir – Mentor support and decision-making clarity during mocks
• Saurabh Sir – Mentorship and Quant guidance
• Shubham Sir – Legal section guidance and mentoring
• Harnish Sir – Quant + AR support
• Vikas Sir – Centre leadership and overall system support

Mocks, Dips, and the Habit That Kept Them Stable

Both students openly admitted that there were dips around July. And that’s normal—most long-prep journeys include phases of low scores, fatigue, or confusion.

The key difference was their response: they didn’t panic. They treated dips as feedback—checked where they were going wrong, refined method, and got back on track through practice and analysis.

Then came the most valuable takeaway for serious aspirants.

They tracked percentiles more than scores. Not obsessively monitoring raw scores helped them stay calm because percentile shows your relative standing more accurately across varied papers. Their mindset was: as long as percentile is stable, you’re progressing. If percentile drops, diagnose, fix, move ahead.

CLAT 2026 Exam Day Reaction: “AR? Great. Let’s Deal With It.”

CLAT throws surprises. This year, the paper pattern created its own pressure moments—especially with Analytical Reasoning and shuffled sections. Instead of reacting emotionally, both twins reacted strategically.

Parv said he was actually happy the paper was different. If a paper becomes too predictable, cut-offs go higher, and a few silly mistakes start costing a lot. For him, the mindset was: “Now let’s deal with this.” He adjusted his sequence slightly and moved on.

Argh’s reaction was even more personal—when he saw the paper’s composition, he felt relieved because CR (his pain point) wasn’t dominating his experience the same way. He felt it suited him and believed he could power through.

“Stay Involved Till the End” — The System Advantage

A point repeatedly emphasised during the interaction: they were regular centre students. The routine mattered—showing up, staying engaged, discussing mocks with teachers, attending classes even when confidence rises.

Many students hit a phase mid-prep where they think they can do everything alone. Some hesitate to ask doubts due to introversion. But sustained involvement—classes, mentorship, discussions—ensures you don’t drift away from the right track.

A Mother’s Perspective: “I Believed in Them, and They Proved Me Right.”

The most grounding part of this story came when their mother joined the conversation. Her view was simple and powerful: the twins were consistent from childhood. Not “book-buried” 24/7, but disciplined—finishing work on time, self-driven, and determined.

She shared that she rarely had to push them. The effort was self-managed. And on result day, her emotions were beyond words—pure pride for the entire family.

What’s Next After NLSIU Bangalore?

When asked about long-term plans, the twins gave the most honest answer possible: “We’ll see. We have time to figure it out.” At 18, pretending certainty about being a judge or “top lawyer” can be forced. Their clarity was refreshing—focus on the next phase, explore deeply, and build direction with real exposure.

Final Words: A CLAT 2026 Story That Will Stay for Years

Parv Jain (AIR 2) and Argh Jain (AIR 8) didn’t win CLAT 2026 through shortcuts or sudden motivation spikes. They won it through a calm system: early clarity, two-year consistency, regular centre involvement, mentorship-backed mock analysis, and a mature way of dealing with dips.

And yes—being twins gave them a unique edge, but the real advantage was how they used it: collaboration without distraction.
