It was girls who came out with flying colours at the 24th convocation of the premier National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, here on Sunday. As many as 16 of the 22 gold medallists were girls. L. Gopika Murthy, whose family is based in Thiruvanthapuram, bagged 11 gold medals as well as the first rank. Incidentally, she was pursing her engineering course before dropping out to pursue law. “The shift from science to social science was a challenge and I spent most of my time at law school studying that helped me clinch so many gold medals," she said.
