21-Year-Old Boy From Jaipur Becomes The Youngest Judge In The Country

At 21, Mayank Pratap Singh has created history. The boy from Jaipur has become the youngest-ever to clear the Rajasthan Judicial Services (RJS) exam.

Mayank had been pursuing a five-year LLB course from the Rajasthan University. He is a resident of Jaipur. He had completed his LLB from Rajasthan University in April this year.

"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 told ANI.

"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.

Earlier, the minimum age for the exam was 23 years. This was changed to 21 years in January by the Rajasthan High Court. This made Mayank eligible for the exam.

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.

He cleared the Rajasthan Judicial Services Exam at the age of 21 and is now all set to become the youngest Judge of the country.
