21-year-old Mayank Pratap Singh had been pursuing a five-year LLB course from the Rajasthan University. A resident of Mansarovar in Jaipur, Mayank completed his LLB from Rajasthan University in April this year.
Jaipur: Mayank Pratap Singh has made history by cracking the Rajasthan judicial services 2018 exam at just 21 years of age. This has placed him on the path of becoming the youngest judge in the country.
"I was always drawn towards the judicial services going by the importance and respect reserved for the judges in the society. I took admission in 2014 in the five-year LLB course from the Rajasthan University, which ended this year," Singh said on Thursday(November 21).
"I am elated with my success and I thank my family, teachers and all well-wishers for their contribution which helped me crack the exam in the first attempt," he added.
Rajasthan high court reduced the age to attend the judicial services into 21 in 2019. Earlier, the original age requirement for appearing in the judicial services exam was 23. Singh said that it was a good move as it would help fill vacancies of the posts lying vacant and said it would also help him help more people throughout his career.
"I could appear in the exam only because the minimum age was reduced. Had it not been so then I would not have been eligible. I think it will benefit me because now I will get more time to learn and do more work and serve more people in my career because I joined at such a young age," he added.
