Hey Poonam.
To become a Judge you first need to pass a Law degree from a recognised institute by the Bar council of India. You can either go for a 5 year integrated law course which combines an Undergraduate degree with law like BA LLB, BCOM LLB etc or you can go for a 3 year law degree if you have already competed a graduation degree separately.
There are separate Judicial Services exam for each state. You will be eligible to take these exams after your final year of Law school. Various aspiranta start preparing for Judicial exams during their law school and take the exams as soon as they pass out.
If you clear the exam and the interview you will be directly appointed to the Lower Judiciary as a Magistrate.
Process-
Judiciary Exams are usually conducted in two successive stages like Judicial Service Preliminary Examination and Judicial Service Main Examination. The Preliminary Exam is conducted in order to shortlist the candidates for the Mains Exams. The score is prelim exams is not considered at a later stage while deciding the merit.
The Final merit list for selection of the judges is prepared on the basis of your total marks scored oin the Main Exam and the Interview.
ELIGIBILITY-
The eligibility criteria for Judiciary exams varies from state to state. Generally the aggregate marks required to qualify for the preliminary exam is around 60% for general category and around 55% for reserved categories. The minimum marks required in the Preliminary round to qualify for the Mains exam also varies each year for each of the state.
Syllabus-
The syllabus also differs from state to state, though the basic is mostly similar. The syllabus for the Prelims can include- The main subjects of Law, Current affairs of National as well as International knowledge, Indian Constitution,Analytical Skills and Aptitude.
The Syllabus for the Mains exam will include English and another Language as well along with Law subjects.
An interview is also conducted.
Other than this if you practice in any court of Law for a minimum period of 7 years and are more than 35 years of age you can attempt the papers to become An Additional District and Session Judge directly skipping the Lower posts.To become a judge in the High court, or the Supreme court, you need a minimum practice of 10 years or holding a relevant judicial office for a minimum period of 10 years and expertise in an area of Law. You can't become a high court/ supreme court judge directly after law.
