PCS-J overview
Judiciary Exam Resources
State judiciary exams are not CLAT. Read your state’s notification. We do not host a fake all-India PCS-J PDF.
Last updated: 18 August 2026
In short: Judiciary exams (Civil Judge / PCS-J and similar) are state-level recruitment after an LL.B., usually in three stages: objective Prelims, written Mains, interview. There is no single national paper. The only syllabus that counts is the latest notification from that state’s High Court or Public Service Commission.
What almost every notification still asks you to confirm
- Eligibility (LL.B. / enrolment / age) for that year
- Prelims subjects and negative marking
- Mains papers (often including language, local laws, and judgment writing)
- Interview / viva voce marks
Do not prepare “Delhi pattern” for another state without reading that state’s PDF.
How this differs from CLAT
CLAT UG is an entrance to a five-year B.A. LL.B. Judiciary is a job exam for graduates in law. Bare Acts, procedure, and local amendments matter. Use CLAT PYQs only as general reading practice, not as judiciary mocks.
What we do not host
We do not upload copyrighted judiciary commentaries or a pretend all-India PYQ dump. When we add a state paper, it will be labelled with the official body. Until then, download from the High Court or PSC site named in the advertisement.
FAQs
Can I sit judiciary exams after Class 12?
No. These recruitments require a law degree (and sometimes enrolment) as notified. Class 12 candidates should look at CLAT / AILET, not PCS-J.
Is there one judiciary syllabus for India?
No. Each state notifies its own. Core papers often include Constitution, CPC, CrPC, Evidence, Contract and local laws, but the list is official only in that PDF.
Do you have judiciary previous papers as PDFs?
Not in this release. Use the recruiting body’s site. This page is a method and eligibility explainer.
Should CLAT aspirants start judiciary prep?
Not instead of CLAT. Finish the entrance in front of you. Judiciary is a later career track after LL.B.
