📣 Ready to Study Smarter?
Get structured notes, updated case-law, and guided test series crafted by experienced faculty.
Start with official notifications and syllabus PDFs, then add standard books, authentic Bare Acts, previous year papers, and a structured mock test series. Curated notes (with case-law updates) save time and give exam focus.
Attempt PYQs in timed conditions, then analyze topic-wise patterns, difficulty, and common traps. Create an error log and revise those concepts weekly. For Mains, convert PYQs into practice answers with issue–rule–analysis–conclusion structure.
Books give depth; notes provide exam orientation—concise provisions, landmark cases, and likely questions. Using both accelerates revision and helps with Mains answer structuring and citations.
Target 10–15 full-length Prelims mocks with negative-marking simulation, and 6–8 evaluated Mains tests. Review each test thoroughly—spend more time on analysis than on taking another test.
Adopt a 60–40 split: concept reading + Bare Acts (40%), active recall & revision (20%), Prelims MCQs (20%), and Mains writing (20%). As Prelims nears, shift to 70–30 in favor of MCQ practice and rapid revisions.
Use authentic government portals and reputable legal databases for Bare Acts and judgments. Supplement with monthly case-law digests and coaching updates to keep your citations current for Mains.
