How to Start Judiciary Exam Preparation?

The most recommended way to kick start your preparation for judiciary exams is the Reverse Method. What I mean by it is that you must take the reverse approach and start preparing for the Mains exam first and then move on to the preliminary stage.

So, even before your targeted judiciary exam is notified, you should invest time in preparing for the Mains exam.

By analyzing your targeted state judiciary pattern and previous year's question papers, prepare a Question bank of around 50 questions of the Mains exam each from all the major subjects and around 25 questions each from all the minor subjects.

Based on these question banks, you should develop your conceptual clarity of the laws. This approach will help you understand how to write good answers in the Mains exam and hence prove to be a score-oriented approach.

  • While studying concepts of law for Mains, do not forget to prepare brief notes on all subjects of the syllabus.
  • The notes should be crisp but must also holistically cover all the important points of the topic.
  • Any good judiciary notes have content from three spheres: Bareact provisions, Commentary on the concept, and leading case laws that can be either recent or landmark judgments.
