A father-daughter duo from Kangra district has secured the first and third ranks in the Himachal Pradesh University (HPU) three-year Bachelor of Laws (LLB) examination, results of which were declared recently for the sixth and final semester. Anshika Rana, 23, topped the exam while her father Praveen Rana, a police inspector, secured the third position.
Both studied at the HPU Regional Centre in Dharamsala from 2023 to June 2026. Anshika was a regular student, while Praveen completed the course through correspondence. Praveen, who serves at the Himachal Pradesh Police Training Centre in Daroh, resumed his studies after turning 50 and balanced his duties with academics. The duo attended classes together and motivated each other throughout the course.
The achievement underscores how distance and correspondence education in India can help working professionals earn degrees that enhance career prospects without leaving their jobs. The Himachal Pradesh Police has provisions for in-service personnel to pursue higher studies, and Praveen’s rank may improve his promotion chances. The story also reflects a broader trend of older students re-entering formal education, especially in law, where age limits for enrollment have been removed by the Bar Council of India. Watch for similar family-duo success stories as more state universities adopt flexible study modes.
