Jaipur: 21-year-old to become youngest judge in India

A 21-year-old boy from Jaipur has created history by cracking the Rajasthan judicial services 2018 exam at his age. With this, the Rajasthani boy is set to become the youngest judge in the country.

Speaking on his achievement, Mayank Pratap Singh said,”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,” Mayank said.

“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.

The original age requirement for appearing in the judicial services exam was 23 years, which was reduced to 21 years by the Rajasthan High Court this year.

“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.
