A proper study plan must be adopted to ace the exam:

The subjects should be revised first.
Read the Bare Act thoroughly and make your notes concurrently.
Keep your focus entirely on Bare Acts right from the beginning, including the index.
After that, solve multiple choice questions from books such as Singhal’s, Universal’s, and previous year papers.
Revisit the errors you made and mark them for future revision.
At the end, try an objective test on that subject with 100-200 questions.
Make sure you improve every time you solve questions, this will help you keep a check on your preparation.
If not, go back and revise once again by reading the Bare Act.

If the score is more than 80%, then proceed with other subjects in the same manner.

The Preliminary Exam marks the beginning of your success, and if approached in a strategic manner, it’s not so difficult to crack.

Strategy for the Haryana Judicial Services Mains Exam

A specific strategy is to be followed to prepare for the Mains Exam. There is no straightjacket strategy; it differs from person to person. So whatever suits you, must be your preparation plan. For convenience, a general strategy is explained below:

Start with two subjects – one minor (such as Limitation Act, Registration Act, etc.) and one major (such as CPC, CrPC, IPC, etc.).
Make a time table to ensure completion of each subject within a certain number of days.
With regards to the subject you have taken up, analyse the previous year’s question papers of the State you are preparing for and make a list of topics that you find recurring and important.
Make another list of topics that are not that important but can be asked about.
Now start revising your notes in light of the list you made.
Keep in mind the weightage a topic could carry and its probability of being asked in the exam. Remember, revise everything, but give more time to the topics on the list.
Make your own handwritten notes, and if any of the previously asked topics are not in your notes, read from a standard textbook and make notes on it.

Important: Do not leave any topics!

Once you are done with a subject, take a timed subjective test on it.
Evaluate and correct your mistakes. It could be lack of content, not so good writing skills, insufficient time management, etc., whatever it is, work on it.
Similarly, proceed with another subject and follow the same strategy.

Gradually, you will observe that you will gain confidence as you develop command over subjects, and this is exactly what is needed to ace the exam.

Viva Voce/Interview

Candidates who pass the written exam are qualified to appear in a viva voce/interview.

The interviewer’s main concern is to judge candidates’ alertness, knowledge of the subject and application of the same to real life situations, general outlook on law and order, interpersonal skills, and intelligence.

The viva voce/ interview will be of 200 marks.

How to make notes for the Haryana Judicial Services exam

This is the most crucial task, which one needs to know and learn before beginning with the preparation. You need your notes throughout the preparation, starting from the preliminary stage until the interview. So make sure they are worth it, and here are a few tips on preparing the notes for your exams:

First reading

Complete the first reading of the subject to get a brief understanding of it without worrying about making notes. Just give a normal reading initially.

When to make notes

Once you become familiar with the subject after initial reading, you can fairly distinguish the relevant matter from the irrelevant. Now, you can begin your notes.

How much is enough to begin

Your comprehension after the initial reading does not need to be perfect. If you understand 70%-80% of the concept, then you begin writing your notes. Eventually, you will understand everything on the subject.

Content of notes

If you are unclear about how to make your notes, you will end up writing all the content down, and sooner or later, you will realise that it was a waste of time.
So you must start with the section numbers and the inter-related sections.
Object and purpose of the section/topic.
Ingredients of each section and their meaning or interpretation.
You can even make flowcharts for quick revision later on.
Any additional points in regard to a particular must also be written; you can use a different colour pen or a highlighter.
Similarly, you can proceed with all the other sections.

And, voila, you have the notes for the Haryana Judicial Services Exam!

How to start preparing for Haryana Judicial Services exam : plan of action

Basics of law

The basic requirement for the post of judicial services preparation is to have a degree of law from a recognised university/ college by the Bar Council of India, which indicates that one should be well versed with the basics of law and have a deep understanding of the Bare Acts and the topics or subjects. This can be achieved by keeping your graduation level notes, the post graduation notes in proper condition and handy.

Whichever State judicial services exam you are preparing for, once you become a judge, you must have a strong grasp of Constitutional law because every judgement has some reference to the Constitutional law. Thus, even before preparing for the Haryana Judicial Services Exam, the aspirants must learn Constitutional law by heart. This will help you to write the subjective exam, i.e., the Mains Exam, well and will boost your confidence during the viva voce/ interview as well.

Which State to prepare for

Whenever you decide to opt for becoming a judge, the very first question that arises, besides the preparation and all, is the State. In such a situation, you must always go for those states that have similar exam patterns. There are some states that allow a limited number of attempts, whereas there are a few that offer an unlimited number of attempts. There are some states that are considered tough to crack (for example, the Delhi Judicial Services Exam is considered one of the toughest and most competitive judicial services exams), whereas a few states are considered comparatively easy to ace (for example, Madhya Pradesh).

Therefore, one must decide upon this point very carefully, as this will impact your preparation strategy.

Now that we are discussing the details of the Haryana Judicial Services Exam, the candidates might become curious about the states that have a similar syllabus to Haryana Judicial Services. This way, they can appear for those state exams as well while preparing for the Haryana Judicial Services Exam.

States with a similar syllabus as that of Haryana Judicial Services Exam

If we look at the Judicial Services exam syllabus of the state of Punjab, it seems to be similar to the syllabus of the Judicial Services exam of the state of Haryana. Also, Himachal Pradesh Judicial Services Preliminary Exam has similar syllabus as that of the state of Haryana (provided the Mains Exam for HP Judicial Services Exam has many additional acts to study).

Current affairs

To prepare yourself for national and international current affairs, the major source is to make a habit of reading at least two national newspapers and one regional newspaper daily. This will not only help you in the first stage of the exam but in the language paper as well, where you will be asked to write an essay on any current event happening around you. Also, this will give you an edge over the civil and criminal law questions.

Reference material

There is a plethora of material available in the market. So which one is good or understandable may vary from person to person, and for that, you have to refer to as many textbooks and sources as you can before you find that perfect book for yourself. You may contact your local library or check for online archives to find a soft copy of the books.

Revision

Once the preparation is over, to get hold of the concepts and factual data, you must do revision. For revision, you must attempt as many questions as you can because:

Firstly, it will help you memorise the facts.
Secondly, you will know your mistakes and learn from them.
Thirdly, your fear of appearing for such a prestigious and competitive post will be lowered by the confidence that you will gain from such practice.

Thus, the more mock tests you give, the more confidence you develop for the exam.

Tips and tricks to prepare for Haryana Judicial Services exam 2023

It is important to follow a certain strategy in order to prepare well for the Haryana Judicial Services exam 2023. To perform well, you should follow some of the following tips:

Start your preparation early

A competitive exam for which thousands of aspirants are preparing already carries with it a lot of stress and anxiety. So in order to ace such an exam, it is important to keep calm throughout the preparation journey. The most important part of strategy is to start your preparation as soon as you can.

It is suggested to start preparing for the Mains Examination before even planning to prepare for the Preliminary Examination as it will help you cover all the topics exhaustively. Moreover, you will get immense time for revision at the end. Even before your targeted judiciary exam is notified, you should invest time in preparing for the Mains Exam. This strategy will help you clear the exam in the first attempt.

Once you make yourself familiar with all the concepts thoroughly, then you can start your Preliminary Examination preparation at least three to four months prior to the state of the exam. Practise as many mock tests as you can, for this is the only key to clear the Preliminary Exam in the first attempt.

So in totality, if we make an estimate, a whole year is an appropriate period to keep your preparation strong. This takes us to the second important point, i.e., time management.

Time management

The management of time is very crucial for this exam. Every subject’s study approach is different. For example, procedural laws such as CrPC, CPC take around three months each to understand and learn completely. Similarly, lighter subjects such as the law of registration and the law of limitation need much less time in comparison to the major subjects. Thus, it is mandatory to assign appropriate time to each subject and try to complete it within the time frame.

Also, the candidate must practise mock tests and practise in a way as if they are real tests. Keep a timer with you so that you would know how much time you are supposed to give to each answer and complete the paper because even if one question is left unattempted, consider yourself to be out of the race already.

This way the candidate will know where and how to improve. Always remember, ‘Practice makes a man perfect’. So solve as many mock tests as you can.

Note down the syllabus

Make sure that you are thoroughly familiar with the syllabus for both the preliminary and Mains Exams. You can write it down clearly and pin it to your study table.

Language

Language papers, i.e., Papers IV and V, should never be ignored or kept for the end. This is the most scoring paper that can keep you on par as compared to others. You should read English as well as Hindi newspapers daily to get a hold of good vocabulary.

While reading the newspaper, prioritise sections relevant to the judiciary exam preparation. Pay special attention to national news, international affairs, legal updates and editorial. Do not waste your time in reading unnecessary topics such as sports and entertainment, as they are less likely to appear in the exam questions.

Always try to keep your focus on the relevant topics as one can easily get carried away while reading politics or entertainment or other such news.

Make sure you practise the syllabus of the language papers regularly, such as essays, precis, translations, and so on. The books recommended for the same are mentioned earlier in the table.

Past year papers

“Practice makes a man perfect” is the perfect idiom that fits here. Unless you practise as many past year papers as possible, you will not know your mistakes, and hence you will not work on improving. To do revision, solving thousands of papers is the only key.

You must solve each subject’s past years once you are done with its syllabus. This will not only ensure that you know your mistakes but will also help with time management per question and ultimately boost your confidence.

Stay updated

Keep yourself informed about the latest news and updates related to the exam to stay ahead of the competition.

Final selection

The final selection will be based on your performance in the Mains Exam and viva voce/personal interview. The marks obtained in the Preliminary Exam are just qualifying marks for the Mains. They will not be considered for the final selection. The final merit list will be based upon the marks secured in Mains as well as viva voce/personal interview.

Appointment

After you have successfully completed your training, you will be appointed as a Civil Judge (Junior Division) in the Haryana Civil Service (Judicial Branch). You will be posted in one of the districts of Haryana and will be responsible for adjudicating civil and criminal matters.

Therefore, it is advised that the candidate go through the notification available on the official website issued by the high courts of those states.

Do all the states conduct Preliminary Exams as the first stage of Judicial Services selection?

Yes, the Preliminary Exam is the initial stage, like a gateway to entering the judicial services exam race. All the state’s judicial services exams take place in three stages: prelims, mains, and viva voce/personal interview.

How to prepare for the preliminary Haryana Judicial Services exam?

The key elements for the preliminary preparation are:

Bare acts: To clear any Judicial Services Exam, Bare acts are the key ingredients. The candidate must know the object of the Act, the sections, the index, the purpose of bringing this law into action by the Parliament, etc. If you are not well versed in these topics, your chances of clearing the first stage, i.e., the Preliminary Exam, are slim to none.
Mock Tests: Without practise, it is much more likely that you will tend to forget the facts. Therefore, practice is a must, and that can only be done by solving thousands of questions via mock tests.
General knowledge and Current affairs: To secure your seat in the Mains Exam, you must prepare the current affairs and general knowledge sections well, as one wrong answer will deduct 0.80 marks. Any kind of deduction makes a lot of difference, so you must be careful and take it easy, specifically when there is negative marking in the paper, unlike in the Rajasthan Judicial Services Exam, where there is no negative marking. In such exams, you can attempt all the questions, but in the former situation, making a wrong guess will result in losing the seat.

Which subjects of law are mostly asked in the Haryana Judicial Services Mains Exam?

There are majorly five subjects that will take most of your time, regardless of the state. These are CPC, IPC, CrPC, Evidence, and customary laws. Not only are these four subjects scoring, but most questions are asked from them. Especially in the Haryana Judicial Service Examination, Hindu Law plays a vital role. While preparing for the customary laws, know the leading case laws on essential topics. The reason is that the questions based on customary laws require the aspirants to illustrate the answer with the support of leading case laws.

Important tip: Try to co- relate the answers to Constitutional law, as it is the primary source of these laws. Study the bare acts with at least one textbook by any author that you find easy to understand. This will clarify your concepts more, and you will have good content to write about in the Mains Exam.

How much time should be given to each question in the Mains Exam?

Generally speaking, three to four minutes is the ideal time to finish one question in order to complete the Mains Exam without any hassle.

For this, you must practise writing answers on a regular basis. For example:

Solve one mock test every weekend or twice a week;
Keep a stopwatch handy when you attempt an answer.
Note down the timing once you finish.
If it takes ten to fifteen minutes, that means you need to write a lot faster and bring the time down to three to four minutes.

Time management is the key to completing the Mains Exam. In case you miss even one answer, consider yourself out of the race already. So make sure you get that speed before the exam and maintain it throughout the exam.

FAQs on Haryana Judicial Services viva voce/personal interview

What are the tips to prepare for viva voce/personal interview?

You must score a minimum of 45% in the written exam if you belong to the SC/ST/PwD/Backward Class/Ex-Servicemen category.

Mentioned below are some of the best tips that will help you ace the viva voce round:

Keep yourself updated with current affairs, legal issues, amendments, and bills, if any.
Apart from the core law subjects, you must also have a good command over the local laws, as they will help you not only from the exam perspective but also when dealing with the cases as a judge.
The panel never misses out on testing your knowledge of the local laws.
Usually, you can claim any subject as your favourite, so make sure you have a good grip on that subject, as there is a possibility that the experts will ask you questions based on the subject.
Body language plays a key role too. Your body posture and your expressions while you are delivering the answers matter a lot. So practise on the postures is also a must.
If you are a practising lawyer, the interviewer might show interest in the details of your practice, such as your practice area, any details about that area, etc., so your knowledge might be tested this way too.

Work on grooming yourself and your etiquette, conduct, and appearance. Dress smartly and neatly!
Make eye contact throughout and keep a smile on your face at all times. Don’t let the stress show on your face. Remain calm and confident.
If you are not sure about an answer, don’t try to answer it wrong; instead, you can apologise politely that you don’t know the answer. This will prevent negative marking, as one man cannot know everything.
