Hii,

As a law graduate from Amity University Gwalior, here are key government exams you can pursue, focusing on your strength in law and minimizing reasoning:

  1. Judicial Services (PCS-J) :
    • Eligibility : LLB, 21–35 years (varies by state).
    • Exam : Prelims (mostly law, minimal reasoning), Mains (law-focused), Interview.
    • Why : Law-heavy; reasoning is basic (10–15% in prelims).
    • Tip : Study IPC, CrPC, Constitution (e.g., Ratanlal for IPC). Practice basic reasoning MCQs (1 hr/week). Check MPPSC for MP Judiciary.
  2. All India Bar Examination (AIBE) :
    • Eligibility : LLB, no age limit.
    • Exam : 100 MCQs (open-book, law only, no reasoning).
    • Why : Purely legal; qualifies you for practice and prosecutor roles.
    • Tip : Use BCI material, bare acts. Check allindiabarexamination.com.
  3. Public Prosecutor/Assistant Public Prosecutor :
    • Eligibility : LLB, advocate enrollment (some states), 21–40 years.
    • Exam : Law-focused (criminal law), minimal/no reasoning, interview.
    • Why : Suits your criminal law strength.
    • Tip : Master CrPC, IPC, Evidence Act. Check state PSCs (e.g., MPPSC) or UPSC.
  4. SEBI Grade A (Legal) :
    • Eligibility : LLB, up to 30 years.
    • Exam : Phase 1 (basic reasoning, law), Phase 2 (law-heavy), Interview.
    • Why : Law is key; reasoning manageable.
    • Tip : Study Company Law, SEBI rules. Skim RS Aggarwal for reasoning.

General Tips :

  • Prioritize PCS-J and AIBE for least reasoning.
  • Use bare acts, Universal Guides for law prep.
  • Check notifications on mppsc.mp.gov.in, upsc.gov.in, or sebi.gov.in.

  7. Department of Legal Affairs : Various legal positions in central government organizations.

  8. Legal Researcher/Advisor : Work as a researcher or advisor for government bodies.

Hello Shivangi,

Since you've completed law graduation, you have several good government exam options where legal knowledge is your strength. Here are some exams you can consider:

  • Judiciary Exams (PCS-J): State-level judicial services exams like UPPCS-J, MPJS, RJS, etc. are ideal for law graduates. You must have an LLB and meet the age criteria (usually up to 35 years). These exams focus more on law than reasoning.

  • Public Prosecutor/Assistant Prosecution Officer Exams: States conduct these for law graduates. They focus mainly on criminal law and procedure.

  • Legal Advisor/Law Officer Roles in PSUs and Banks: Organizations like SEBI, SBI, IBPS, and IOCL recruit law officers. Exams usually test legal knowledge, some reasoning, and English.

  • UGC NET in Law: If you're interested in teaching or research, this exam is useful. You can later apply for Assistant Professor or pursue a Ph.D.

  • CLAT-PG: If you're considering higher studies like LLM in national law universities or applying for PSU legal jobs via CLAT PG score.

Since reasoning is not your strong area, focus more on law-intensive roles and start preparing for Judiciary or legal-specific posts. Build reasoning gradually alongside.
