Judiciary is a great career option if:

  • You have an inclination towards Public Service.
  • You intend to contribute directly to a fair, just system and the greater good of society. 
  • You want to stay in an intellectually stimulating profession, simultaneously being in touch with the laws.
  • You want to remain in a profession that is dignified and commands the respect of people.

Myth: Focus on syllabus and pattern of a Single State 

Reality: Multiple State attempts (if language permits ) increase the practical possibility of success within a year.

Dependence of securing a rank must not rely on a single day. Failure of delivering on one day for any reason costs a whole year in a single state attempt. Also, Law remains consistent throughout the country. Only pattern and syllabus must be kept in mind.
