  • Changes in three laws (2023) made some sections slightly tricky, especially the Indian Evidence Act (Bhartiya Sakshaya Adhiniyam, 2023).
  • Questions included Income Tax, Intellectual Property Law, the MC Mehta judgement, the Indian Constitution, and BNSS.
  • Most candidates were able to complete the paper within time, though 1–2 questions were considered doubtful.
  • Several candidates suggested the exam should be open-book, but not all questions are from textbooks.

SC/ST 33–36
