Most Important strategies for preparation of Judicial Services Examinations

As per RJS Exam Preparation Tips by Judiciary Gold your first focus should be on the primary laws i.e. Constitution, IPC, CrPC, Evidence and CPC as the majority of questions are asked from these subjects, and after getting thoroughly familiar with these then focus on minor subjects i.e. Indian Contract Act, Specific Relief Act and Transfer of Property Act.

• While preparing notes in your own language focus on Bare Acts, Commentaries and Leading Case Laws.
• After studying all the subjects, start preparing from previous year exams and do as many mock tests as possible. Make sure you do not answer the questions subject-wise and do it in whole.
• You should develop a habit of studying law primarily from Bare Acts. Take help of text/reference books to note down the essentials of legal provision and the leading cases, if any, for each essential. Read carefully the explanation and proviso attached to the main provision.
• Illustrations appended to the Sections are very important for clearly understanding the provision and exceptions, so never miss them. Simultaneously, try to memorize ‘which Section deals with what’, this is very important for cracking prelims. However, it may be a difficult task but it must be done at least for all the important provisions.
• Prepare short notes on each important topic, outlining the relevant legal provisions, their content, main cases and exceptions. Try to keep it as concise as possible. These notes will prove to be the most useful tool for a quick revision during the entrance and main exams because as you browse through these short notes you will recall almost all the relevant information you have studied before. Failure to review the material before the exam seriously reduces your chances of making a choice.
• Keep your syllabus and previous year question papers with you, and do research to understand how questions are asked. This will give you an idea of which area of study you need to focus more on. But at the same time, do not waste time guessing from your previous work what topics are most likely to be asked in the upcoming exam. The questions may or may not be repeated at the next exam.
