Focus on syllabus and not on vacancies."

6. Are Preliminary papers based on Bare Acts?

Meena Sir said, "for the maximum states, you would find the preliminary exam to be Bare Act based; but for the recent 2 to 3 years, the trend has changed. It is better to follow a few websites which update about recent updates and case laws. In a few states, you found that GS and GK questions in your mind should not be Bare Act based if you prepare like this, it would be easier for your to crack other state questions and not streamline. Also, update yourself with the new and old case laws and make a list of the main topics while preparing the Case Laws."

7. What were your strategies for the Mains Examination [Chhattisgarh]?

Meena Sir said talks about Chhatisgarh Mains, "which has 1 paper, Judgement Writing and Translation. Prepare old Judgement papers and analyse them where you are making mistakes, and you will be able to clear the exam. Also, keep in mind the time, which is 3 hours in 120 minutes. You have to write 2 questions on Judgement Writing [40 marks each] and 2 questions on Translations[10 marks each]. While translating, pick up difficult words and build your vocab; give 2 hours each day for translation and rest to Judgement Writing. The focus should be given to previous year questions and how to answer them prepare, practise and analyse."

8. How to prepare for the Final Interview?

Meena Sir said, "don't stop your preparation; even after passing, Mains boost confidence as you prepare yourself for a mock interview. Both legal and personal questions will be asked. Don't leave an impact if you are unable to answer a question focus on the next question. Understand the questions and then answer them. Also, prepare to answer and don't hesitate to ask the question if you haven't understood the question."
