Taking a tier-3/affiliated college for 3-year LLB just to break the drop loop—am I making a huge mistake?
​
Hey everyone, needed some honest perspective because my head is all over the place right now.
Long story short: I’ve been stuck at home for 4 years because I did my B.Com via distance education. Sitting at home this long has been brutal for my mental health, so I gave multiple 3-year LLB entrance exams this year. But because I barely got time to prep properly for any of them, I scored poorly across the board and didn't clear the top law schools.
The only option I currently have in hand is an affiliated college under Lucknow University. I know it’s not a great college, but I genuinely cannot stay cooped up at home for another year. I somehow convinced my parents to let me join this college just to get out of the house and get moving.
Deep down, I’m treating this as an escape plan. My internal plan is to re-prep for entrances (like DU, NLSAT, etc.) while attending this college, and hopefully transfer/leave as soon as I clear a solid national university or DU.
Am I being realistic here, or am I making a mess of things? Has anyone here managed to re-prepare for law entrances while being enrolled in a tier-3 state college? Would really appreciate some practical advice or reality checks.
