Delhi & Gurugram dominate Law Entrance
New Delhi / Gurugram, 26th December, 2025: The CLAT 2026 results have once again highlighted the growing role of the Delhi–Gurugram region in shaping India’s next generation of legal professionals. As competition intensifies nationwide and law increasingly emerges as a first-choice career, students trained in Delhi and Gurugram have delivered one of the strongest city-wise performances in this year’s Common Law Admission Test.
According to officially declared results, students from LegalEdge’s Delhi and Gurugram centres together secured four All India Ranks in the Top 10 — AIR 2 and AIR 8 from Delhi, and AIR 7 and AIR 9 from Gurugram.
Significantly, the Gurugram centre also produced Haryana Topper 1 and Haryana Topper 2, corresponding to AIR 7 and AIR 9, underscoring the depth of preparation emerging from the NCR belt. LegalEdge centres in these two cities accounted for 14 ranks in the Top 100. With counselling currently underway, over 300 selections into National Law Universities (NLUs) are expected from Delhi and Gurugram alone.
Top CLAT 2026 Performers from Delhi & Gurugram
● AIR 2 – Parv Jain (Delhi | Delhi Topper 1)
● AIR 7 – Gauransh Vats (Gurugram | Haryana Topper 1)
● AIR 8 – Argh Jain (Delhi | Delhi Topper 2 )
● AIR 9 – Manvi Yadav (Gurugram | Haryana Topper 2)
Among the top achievers are Parv Jain (AIR 2) and Argh Jain (AIR 8), both mentored at the LegalEdge Delhi centre. Students of DPS School, the two opted for a long-term preparation route, enrolling in a structured two-year classroom programme immediately after Class 10. Their preparation journey reflects a growing trend among serious law aspirants who are choosing early academic planning over last-minute preparation cycles.
Reflecting on their experience, the students pointed to consistency and academic structure as decisive factors. “Starting early helped us build strong fundamentals. The discipline of classroom learning, regular mock analysis, and close mentor interaction played a decisive role,” they shared. Their parents echoed the importance of process-led preparation, noting that a clear academic roadmap helped the students grow not only in performance but also in confidence and emotional maturity.
Commenting on the results, Vikaas Wahi, Director, LegalEdge Delhi & Gurugram, said:
“At LegalEdge Delhi & Gurugram, our focus has never been only on ranks, but on the journey of every student and the trust every parent places in us. We consciously work towards creating the right academic environment — one that combines structure, mentorship, emotional support, and consistency. When students feel guided and confident, outcomes follow naturally. Our student-to-selection ratio of nearly 4:1 reflects this sustained, student-first approach rather than a numbers-driven mindset.”
Other top performers from the region also highlighted sustained mentorship as a key differentiator. AIR 7 Gauransh Vats, Haryana Topper 1, credited focused one-to-one mentoring and mock strategy discussions for his steady progress, while AIR 9 Manvi Yadav, Haryana Topper 2, emphasised the role of a supportive academic environment and regular guidance in maintaining exam readiness throughout the preparation cycle.
The performance from Delhi and Gurugram aligns with broader national trends. Over 92,000 candidates registered for CLAT 2026, with nearly 75,000 appearing for the undergraduate examination alone, reflecting a 17% rise in participation over previous years. With limited NLU seats available, the
data points to law consolidating its position as a high-stakes, aspirational career choice among Indian students.
At a national level, LegalEdge’s CLAT 2026 outcomes reflect consistent performance across centres, with AIR 1, 2, 3 and 7 AIRs in the Top 10, 9 State Toppers, 51 ranks in the Top 100, reinforcing the role of structured, classroom-led preparation in an increasingly competitive landscape.
