Pro Tip: Delhi Higher Judicial Service is one of the most prestigious judicial appointments in India — District & Sessions Judges appointed directly from the Bar. With only 27 vacancies and the pre-exam on 26 July 2026, time is extremely short for preparation. Focus on Civil Law (CPC, CrPC), Constitutional Law, Evidence Act, and current Supreme Court judgments. The pre-exam is typically objective-type (MCQ), while the main exam is descriptive. A good track record of high-profile litigation experience strengthens your viva voce performance significantly.
