Hlw sir, I'm B.A. final year student. In the future, i want to prepare for the rajasthan judicial service exam with LLB. Sgo
Hello Mahendra,
I hope you are talking about B.A.LLB and not regular B.A. because they aren't the same. In case, you're referring to B.A as in regular Bachelor of Arts programme then that makes you uneligible for RJS exam. But seeing your following words, I'm suspecting you mean B.A.LLB only, which is a dual degree course, which of course makes you eligible.
Rajasthan Judicial Services exam is conducted by Rajasthan High Court which invites application for posts in district and subordinate courts. The selected candidates would become eligible for High court judge appointment after 10 years of service.
Eligiblity Criteria for appearing in the exam is as follows:
- Degree of Bachelor of Laws (professional, even if dual degree) from any University established by Law in India and recognised as such under the Advocates Act, 1961.
- Knowledge of Hindi with Devanagari script, Rajasthani Dialects and Social Customs of Rajasthan. (not mandatory but useful to learn local acts)
Selection Process for recruitment to the cadre of Civil Judge consist of:
- Preliminary Examination (Objective Type) : 70% Law+30% Language(Hindi and English), total marks 100. It is the screening test to appear for Main and its marks will not be added to the total marks for final selection. The language- hindi and english- papers will test your grammar and vocabulary.
- Written Main Examination (Subjective Type) : 70% Law+30% Language(H/E), total marks 100. The exam will have two law papers- Law 1 and Law 2, covering different subjects. Aside from this, english and hindi language which will test your general knowledge through your writing.
- Interview : Depending on your marks in Main, you'll be called for interview.
Since you're in your final year, once you've appeared for the final semester exams, you'll be eligible to apply, but you'd need to provide proof of passing the course before the main written exam.
I'm guessing from your vague question that you are needing help for your preparation for the exam.
Judicial Service Exams generally is a complilation of every little topic you have covered throughout your law course. The exam topics are different in different region, for examply Delhi Judicial Service Exam and Rajasthan Judicial Services Examw wouldn't be same. The additional topics, like local acts, would differ.
It is for the above reason that you should KNOW YOUR SUBJECTS WELL . Going through syllabus (which you can access in the link mentioned below) is very important part in RJS Preparation, or any govt exam for that matter. There's so much in LAW and it is hectic to know each and every law in the country and to cover over 50 legal subjects. To accomplish this feat, you'd require good memory which you can develop through various methods that are availiable in the form of applications and tricks.
For the preliminary exam, you need a horizontal preparation i.e. general but the good knowledge of all. There are 40 laws which u have to study, and you can group them among several categories like Major laws, Minor laws and local acts. Make a schedule to cover the entire thing ASAP, and make sure you take time out on sundays so that you can take quick revision by looking through your handwritten notes, just to brush up your memory.

- It's not updated version but this will definitely help you have a clear idea about what you should study throughly. THIS IS THE MOST USEFUL RESOURCE I'VE COME ACROSS ON INTERNET REGARDING RJS.
Along with syllabus, make sure to evaluate previous question papers too. This will help you know which topic is more frequently asked and then to decide how you can cover the topic.
- Previous years question papers for analysis :

And in case you're wondering if you should take coaching, I'd suggest against it if you have good discipline. One doesn't need any coaching for the preparations . With proper planning and management, you can easily crack it.
Just going through syllabus and covering each and every topic in detailed manner by writing personal notes (they help you retain the information longer), alongside practising question papers is enough to crack the exam.
I hope it helps.
