WHY DO SEVERAL ASPIRING CANDIDATES FAIL TO CLEAR THE EXAM?
Annually, several candidates fail to clear the exam on account of facing the following difficulties and challenges:
Common Challenges:
- Confusion as regards the selection of correct study material
- Lack of right mentorship
- Fear of vast syllabus
- Lack of guidance regarding selective studies and exam strategy
- Lack of understanding of the Bare Acts of both central as well as local laws
- Monopolisation of a few coaching institutions in big cities, creating a limited access and uneven advantage of a selected few.
- Lack of expertise as regards language and general knowledge preparation (the two topics that make or break a candidate’s score).
- Ever-increasing competition, especially with the proposal of the All India Judicial Services being seriously deliberated upon.
- Zero emphases on state-wise strategies based on past year papers.
- Not practising answer writing within a limited time
- Not getting personal feedback on written answers from their coaches
- Falling off the bandwagon due to stress while preparing
- Not getting personalised advice and coaching
Individual Challenges:
- Apart from the above there are also complexities that one has to face at an individual level, which often become a hurdle towards achieving success, these are:
- Peer Pressure
- Issues with time management
- Not being able to adopt a particular style of studying
- Not adopting scientific techniques of strategizing and retention
- Personal difficulties and mental blocks
- Location disadvantage i.e the candidate is residing in a region from where access to quality content becomes difficult
- It is hard to leave paid work or a job to prepare full time for judicial exams
Other Factors
- Additionally, the unfortunate truth that needs to be addressed is as regards the current trend of Judiciary Coaching institutes whereby:
- Coaching is offered only in limited big cities.
- The entire process of enrollment along with external costs of accommodation, transportation etc. creates an unreasonably huge monetary burden on the judiciary aspirant as well as his/her family, with little guarantee of a positive final outcome.
- All brick and mortar based coaching institutes provide very rigid timings, suitable only to a select few of even their own students.
- Not self-paced in terms of the subjects taught.
- Only a selected few good faculties to teach a couple of subjects well, thus not holistically providing quality content. No judiciary coaching provides high-quality comprehensive study material.
- Extremely large batches, severely hampering individual attention.
- Mechanical motivation and guidance without considering individual requirements.
- Lack of transparency and accountability.
