Please note that due to limited time, it is best to systematically plan your preparation and aim to comfortably pass the exam – for this purpose, it does not make sense to prepare for 100 per cent of the paper. Instead, you can focus on the subjects which carry the most weightage and can be studied in relatively less time. For this purpose, we have made a plan which enables you to prepare for 75 per cent of the question paper.

Note that exact marks are no longer declared by the Bar Council, and scoring 40 per cent is sufficient to pass the bar exam (there is still a 30 percent failure rate). If you prepare well for this, we expect that you should comfortably be able to pass. 

An hour-wise allocation for the study plan is provided below. This does not include time for printing out hacksheets.

Few pointers to make it easy to locate answers during the exam:

  1. Please skim through all the materials that you carry to the exam hall at least once. Use a marker or post its to highlight the headings. It will save a lot of time. 
  2. Prepare an index of all the materials you have so that you can be aware of what you have and what you don’t at a quick glance. 
  3. Use the technique of elimination of wrong answers to solve MCQs if you can’t locate the answer through the Acts, especially for general knowledge questions. Once you our able to eliminate the incorrect options, the chances of marking the correct answers increases.
