About the Delhi Judicial Service exam

Selects Civil Judges for the Delhi Judicial Service — the entry level of the subordinate judiciary in the National Capital Territory of Delhi.

About the Delhi Judicial Service exam

The High Court of Delhi recruits Civil Judges through the Delhi Judicial Service Examination. The preliminary examination screens candidates on general knowledge, English and a wide range of civil, criminal and constitutional law; those who score 60% (55% for reserved categories) take the four-paper main examination and then a viva-voce.

The previous DJS cycle ended with the final result on 4 February 2026, and the notification for the next cycle is awaited. In 2026 the High Court is also running the Delhi Higher Judicial Service examination for 27 District Judge posts — its prelims was held on 26 July 2026 and the mains is on 10–11 October 2026.

How these mocks help

Law carries most of the prelims, so 150 of each mock's 200 questions test bare-act provisions, landmark cases and maxims — with both the new criminal laws (BNS, BNSS, BSA) and the corresponding IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act sections, since questions often map one to the other.

The 25 mocks never share a question. Some law facts are asked in more than one form — for example, the subject of a provision and the provision for a subject — which is how the real paper tests them too.

The preliminary examination is a screening test of 200 objective questions on general knowledge, aptitude, English and law, with 0.25 mark deducted for each wrong answer; its marks do not count towards final merit. The mains has four descriptive papers — General Knowledge & Language (250), Civil Law I (200), Civil Law II (200) and Criminal Law (200) — followed by a 150-mark viva-voce. These mocks model the prelims with 150 law questions out of 200, timed at two hours, and never repeat a question across the 25 mocks.

Duration: 120 minutes (mock timing).

How to prepare for Delhi Judicial Service

A proven, focused Delhi Judicial Service preparation method — from building strong fundamentals to peaking with full-length mocks.

  1. 1

    Master the Constitution

    It is the largest single area. Know key Articles, Schedules, amendments and landmark judgments.

  2. 2

    Learn both old and new criminal laws

    BNS, BNSS and BSA replaced the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act from 1 July 2024 — learn the corresponding section numbers.

  3. 3

    Read bare acts

    CPC orders, Contract, Specific Relief, Limitation, TPA and Registration are tested provision by provision.

  4. 4

    Don't skip personal laws and minor acts

    Hindu and Muslim law, Sale of Goods, Partnership, Arbitration and the NI Act are steady sources of questions.

  5. 5

    Practise answer writing for the mains

    Start early on the GK & Language paper — essay, précis and translation — and judgment-style answers for the law papers.

  6. 6

    Respect the negative marking

    With 0.25 deducted per wrong answer and a 60% bar, attempt only what you can narrow down.
