Chhattisgarh Judiciary · Prelims

What the Chhattisgarh prelims actually tests

One objective paper — 100 questions / 100 marks, 2 hours, bilingual Hindi + English — and a pure 1:10 screen whose marks never reach the merit list. It is almost entirely statute law: no general-studies, reasoning or computer section. Built on 500 questions across 5 papers (2014–2020); bars show share of the whole paper and the line tracks each subject over those years.

Constitution of India 12.4%

The heaviest head — but only just. Spiked to 17 in 2016 and 14 in 2017 on landmark-case/current-affairs items (NJAC, Kesavananda, GST amendment), settling at 12. Highest single priority; revise recent constitutional developments.

Code of Civil Procedure 10.6%

Marginally the largest of the procedural codes and rock-steady in an 8–12 band. Jurisdiction, res judicata, execution, orders & decrees. Backbone of the paper.

Code of Criminal Procedure 10.4%

A near-twin of CPC — 8–12 every year. Arrest & bail, cognizance, summons vs warrant trial, security for good behaviour. Non-negotiable core.

Indian Evidence Act 10%

The steadiest subject anywhere — 9–11 every single paper. Confessions, presumptions, admissions, primary/secondary evidence, burden of proof. Dependable, high-yield.

Indian Penal Code 9.8%

The fourth code in the ~10 cluster. General exceptions, offences against body & property, definitional sections. Predictable bank of marks.

Transfer of Property Act 7.6%

Strongest second-tier subject — 7–10 in 2014–17, then dipped to 5 in 2020. Sale, mortgage, lease, s.53A part-performance, lis pendens. Full coverage still pays.

Contract Act 7.4%

Tracks TPA almost exactly — steady ~7–9, then 5 in 2020. Free consent, consideration, void vs voidable, breach & remedies. Solid second-tier marks.

Chhattisgarh state Acts · Rent Control + Land Revenue + Excisestate law 10.4%

A guaranteed home-state bloc — 8–12 marks every paper. CG Rent Control 2011 (~3–4), Land Revenue Code 1959 (~2–5), Excise Act 1915 (~3–6, heaviest in 2014). Fact/section based — where local candidates win easy marks outsiders skip.

Allied civil Acts · Limitation, SRA, Registration, NI, Court Fees 21.4%

Five small statutes, each 3–6/yr, jointly the largest block on the paper (~21%). Narrow, section-number pools — high return on light effort. (Court Fees is fading, 6→2; one stray GK item lives here too.)

This is the flattest paper on the board — breadth beats selectivity. There is no runaway subject to game: the leader, Constitution, is just 12.4%, and the four procedure/penal codes sit in a tight ~10% cluster — five subjects within about 2½ points of each other. And it is almost pure law: all 15 syllabus heads are statutes, with no GS/reasoning/English paper to fall back on (one stray GK item in 500 questions). Even, disciplined coverage of every Act — not a deep bet on a few — clears this gate.

Don't skip the home-state Acts, and study the new codes. The three Chhattisgarh statutes — Rent Control 2011, Land Revenue Code 1959 and Excise Act 1915 — deliver a guaranteed ~10 marks every paper, fact- and section-based, and are where local candidates gain their edge. On substance, all five papers test the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act; since 1 July 2024 these are replaced by the BNS, BNSS and BSA, so re-map each old-code section onto its new equivalent — the concepts recur, the numbers don't.
