I was mentored by Shantanu Kanade for my law entrance exams back in 2013-15, and his exceptional guidance was instrumental in securing my admission to Jindal Global Law School (JGLS). His expertise and encouragement kept me focused and motivated throughout the preparation process. However, my association with him didn’t end there. Even after graduating from JGLS in 2020 and earning an Advanced LLM in Air and Space Law from Leiden University, I have continued to seek his advice at various stages of my career. Today, as an early-career lawyer working at an airline company in India, I can confidently say that Shantanu has been more than a mentor: he has been a friend, guide, and constant source of support. In Shantanu, you don’t just get a test prep mentor—you gain a mentor for life. I highly recommend BlackRobe Education to anyone preparing for CLAT and other law entrance tests!

Advocate, Bombay High Court My journey in law began in 2013 under the invaluable mentorship of Mr. Shantanu Kanade. His lectures always went above and beyond the syllabus for law entrance tests, offering me insights into the legal profession. Most importantly, he always had a pleasant smile on his face, making him incredibly approachable and creating a positive learning environment. His legal reasoning classes were excellent, and I never left a session feeling overwhelmed or worried. What makes my relationship with Shantanu Sir truly special is that it didn’t end in 2015. He has been a guiding force through my undergraduate years at NMIMS School of Law, my internships, my judicial clerkship at the Supreme Court of India, my postgraduate study at King’s College London, and now, as I navigate my journey as a counsel practice aspirant at the Bombay High Court. For the past 12 years, Shantanu Sir has been one of my greatest mentors, and his influence on my career is immeasurable. I wholeheartedly recommend BlackRobe Education to every law aspirant. With Shantanu Sir’s guidance, you are not just preparing for an entrance test, but setting yourself up for a successful career in law!

Advocate, Bombay High Court

I am Rajat Dedhia, an Advocate practicing for the past seven years in Litigation, Arbitration, and Document Drafting. I primarily practice in the Bombay High Court and have offices in Mumbai and Thane. Reflecting on my academic journey, I can confidently say that Mr. Shantanu Kanade was the best teacher I had. After my Class 12 board exams, I prepared for various entrance tests for undergraduate law and business administration programs. Mr. Kanade was my professor for legal aptitude and reasoning, and his ability to simplify complex legal concepts made learning effortless, even for high school students. His introduction to law as a discipline gave me valuable insights into the profession I would later become a part of. With his vast experience in teaching and academics, he is an outstanding mentor. If you're looking for the best guidance in law and legal reasoning, look no further than Shantanu Kanade!
