The formation of an all India Services is the need of the time. Instead of All India Judicial Services, we have the Provincial Civil Services for the state and exams are conducted by the state judicial agencies on the basis of the syllabus prepared by them.

There are two ways for getting entry as a judge:
Students can apply for the post of Civil Judge (Junior Division) when they are in the last year of LLB. But if they get appointed, they will have to produce the graduation certificate.
There are three levels for the judicial services examination. The preliminary, main and the interview. There are a total 100 questions. Each question carries 2 marks. As it is a vetting examination, there is negative marking system. One mark will be deducted for every wrong answer.
