How the BJS track is organised

The judicial service examination rewards two skills at once: precise command of the procedural codes, and the ability to write clear, structured answers under time pressure. The track treats them separately so each can be practised on its own.

  1. Foundation — the Code of Civil Procedure, the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Evidence Act, the Penal Code and the Constitution, studied section by section.
  2. Preliminary preparation — subject-wise revision for the objective paper, with the habits described in our guide to negative marking.
  3. Written preparation — problem-question technique, with model answers showing how an issue–rule–application–conclusion answer is built.
  4. Revision — study notes, bare-act pointers and the legal dictionary for quick recall.

Where to start

If you are close to graduation, begin with the foundation subjects and read the six-month plan in the learning guides. If you have already cleared a preliminary round, concentrate on written technique. Check every stage, mark and eligibility rule against the latest BJSC circular.
