Nitin earned his BA from Johns Hopkins University and his MSc from the University of Oxford. He graduated cum laude with a JD from Cornell Law School, where he was the senior online editor for the Cornell Law Review, Volume 108. His insights into the competitive legal field are enriched by his role on the recent alumni board, where he advises the Cornell Law admissions committee.

Nitin has held numerous prestigious positions within the legal field, including associate at Mayer Brown, legal extern at the US Department of State, and legislative intern at the U.S. House of Representatives. Currently, he serves as a judicial law clerk for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, bringing insight from a wide range of professional experiences in both the private and public sectors.

Nitin also has extensive research experience, having collaborated with professors at both Cornell and Johns Hopkins and interning at the American Enterprise Institute. His professional interests include international law, white-collar practice, global and internal investigations, and transnational litigation. 

Nitin is enthusiastic about making opportunities that have become available to him more accessible for others. As an immigrant and first-generation law student, he understands that the law school admissions process can be overwhelming and opaque, and he values being accessible and proactive in clearing up any confusion or uncertainty for applicants. Given that his own admissions process was neither streamlined nor straightforward, Nitin offers an informed perspective on dealing with and overcoming challenges and setbacks. 

Nitin’s greatest strength as a coach lies in his personable and proactive approach. He is committed to resolving any questions or concerns students may have, offering a reliable and accessible source of support throughout their journey. He prides himself on his adaptability, tailoring his approach to fit each student’s individual needs and goals. By effectively assessing students’ strengths and vulnerabilities, Nitin ensures they submit the best applications possible to get into their dream schools. Students Nitin has recently coached have gotten accepted at top institutions such as NYU, Berkeley, Duke, and Cornell.

In his free time, Nitin enjoys learning about history, electoral politics, and foreign affairs. He also enjoys sports, foreign films, and international cuisine.
