Cracking the Judicial Services Examination (PCS-J) is the dream of thousands of law students across India. Becoming a civil judge is not just a career goal — it’s a commitment to justice, dignity, and public service.
But preparing for PCS-J is a long journey that needs:
- Early start
- Right coaching
- Proper guidance
- Regular writing and mock tests
Most law students begin late, lose confidence, or waste years in confusion.
But at AMB Law College, Patna, PCS-J preparation starts from Day One — along with your BA LLB or LLB degree.
In this blog, we’ll explain how AMB provides a fully integrated judiciary preparation ecosystem to help you clear PCS-J exams with confidence.
⚖️ What is PCS-J?
PCS-J stands for Provincial Civil Services – Judicial Branch.
This is the state-level exam to recruit Civil Judges (Junior Division). It is conducted by the Public Service Commission of each state (like BPSC, UPPSC, JPSC, etc.)
📚 Exam Pattern:
- Prelims – Objective (MCQs)
- Mains – Subjective (Essay, Bare Act, Judgment Writing)
- Interview – Legal awareness, personality
🎓 Eligibility:
- BA LLB / LLB from BCI-approved college
- Age: 21–35 years (varies by state)
💡 Competition is tough: Only 2–3% aspirants clear the exam each year.
That’s why early and structured preparation is key — something AMB provides from your first semester.
