Excellence is never an accident. It is the result of consistent effort, discipline, curiosity, and the courage to rise above self-doubt. Standing as a shining example of these qualities is Manik Dev, who has been awarded the Gold Medal for the BBA LLB (Hons.) 2023 Batch during the 3rd Convocation Ceremony of SRM University Delhi NCR, Sonepat, Haryana. His achievement at the university level celebrates not only his academic brilliance but also his inspiring personal journey.
Manik’s academic story is remarkable because it is built on determination rather than certainty. Coming from a science background, the world of law was unfamiliar territory at the start of his journey. Many would hesitate to shift streams so drastically, yet Manik embraced the challenge with an open mind and unbreakable focus. The result of that courage is evident today as he stands at the top of his batch, graduating with distinction and earning recognition as a university topper.
His outstanding academic performance, reflected in a stellar CGPA of 8.95, embodies the spirit of the Faculty of Law at SRM University. The Gold Medal is more than a symbol of academic merit. It represents years of resilience, late-night study sessions, moments of self-doubt, and the small wins that built his confidence along the way.
In his personal reflection, Manik shares a profound guiding thought that shaped his journey. He recalls the Fundamental Principle of Tort Law: “It is not the hindsight of a fool but the foresight of a reasonable man which alone can determine responsibility.” What began as a legal maxim eventually became a philosophy that helped him move forward even on days when motivation was low. For him, the reasonable man principle is not just a lesson from textbooks but a reminder to act with clarity, purpose, and responsibility.
This achievement is an inspiration for every law student who may feel unsure about their abilities or uncertain about their path. Manik’s transformation from a science student to a law graduate who excelled at the highest level proves that success depends less on one’s starting point and more on one’s commitment to the journey ahead. His story encourages young legal aspirants to trust their potential and remain dedicated to their goals, no matter how challenging the road may seem.
Manik’s accomplishment also reflects the supportive academic environment at SRM University Delhi NCR. The institution’s guidance, combined with his hard work, has shaped him into a well-rounded young legal mind poised to make meaningful contributions to the profession. As he steps into the next phase of his journey, Manik carries with him a powerful message for aspiring students: with dedication, one can achieve anything.
Today, LawFoyer proudly celebrates Manik Dev not only for securing the Gold Medal but for embodying the spirit of perseverance and excellence. His journey reminds us that achievements are born from a blend of courage, hard work, and the will to keep moving forward, even when the path is uncertain.
