RJS Exam Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master the new criminal codes first: study BNS, BNSS and BSA alongside an IPC/CrPC/Evidence Act mapping so you can answer both the new section numbers and the old ones.
2Practise bare-act based MCQs for high-yield civil statutes: CPC, Contract Act, Transfer of Property Act, Specific Relief Act and the Limitation Act periods.
3Memorise the Rajasthan local laws (Rent Control Act 2001, Tenancy Act 1955, Land Revenue Act 1956) since they are frequently the difference-makers in prelims.
4Do not neglect the 30% language component: drill Hindi vyakaran, vartani and paryayvachi and English grammar, prepositions and legal vocabulary regularly.
5Solve previous-year Rajasthan judiciary papers and timed full-length mock tests on OMR sheets to build speed and accuracy for the 100-question, 2-hour format.
6Track landmark Supreme Court judgments (Kesavananda Bharati, Maneka Gandhi, Vineeta Sharma, Shayara Bano) as they frequently appear in constitutional and personal-law questions.
