As you can see that this new syllabus is consists many different subjects. Lahore High Court introduced this vast syllabus on the pattern of CSS exam. But the quality of education in law sector is not up to the mark and surely there will be few candidates who will pass this tough exam. In our view, such lengthy syllabus should be more appropriate for the posts of ASJ but for the post of Civil Judge it is too much.
I need to know the pattern of general knowledge paper… either obj or subj… m v confuse abt its pattern n prep
They have given the outline for general knowledge paper
This is so much difficult .i think we become judge in punjab not on the whole world.
All is subjective.
AOA
Topics of general knowldge must be mention there just like for CSS aspirants.
As generally mentioning everyday sci.,current affairs etc includes almost every thing.. which is making it too much tough.. only law subjects are very wide to prepare and now this……..strange
This is too much, one have to do for CSS is not so far different than this strange syllabus for civil judge. High court should necessarily revert the syllabus to its original. ..
This is v v tough syllabus. I can’t be able to understand why they make it as much as difficult like CSS.
recent result shows not the un intelligence of these candidates but the unwillingness of our system behind becoming them a judge according to their illegibility
No doubt this is too much lenthy slybusss as compared to old slybusss .High court should change it and old slybusss should be carry on.
