Haramrit is currently pursuing LLM (Family Law) from the GNDU campus, while Chahat is 2021 pass-out from the same college.

Haramrit said: “My focus throughout the preparation had been on attempting a good paper in the mains. I still remember how I worked on writing good essays in English and Punjabi. My essay in English was related to women empowerment and that in Punjabi was ‘Punjab in 2050’. Once I had appeared for the mains in June this year, my focus was on preparing for the interview for which I appeared on October 1”.

Asked how she planned to celebrate her success, she said: “Since I hail from a religious family, all celebrations are planned accordingly. My father and paternal uncle are planning to hold a ‘shukrana samagam’, which will be a thanksgiving to the Almighty”.

Chahat shared how all her elder cousins in the family, all of whom had pursued LLB, guided her at every step. “I have been the luckiest of them all in having cracked the exam,” she said.

Chahat’s mother Sangeeta Chhabra said: “My daughter used to study till late night and would resume self-study again in the early hours.”

She gave all credit to her maternal uncle Krishan Kochhar for motivating her all the time. Chahat has been a gold medallist of the GNDU twice. She had scored 94 per cent marks in plus two humanities, passing out from Sanskriti KMV School. Her father Rajesh Chhabra runs a general store.
