Your Guide to Clearing DU LLB Entrance-2018 Without Coaching - 1


If you have decided to take the DU LLB Entrance Examination -2018, you may have doubts regarding preparation, strategy and so forth. In a series of posts, I will attempt to clear the haze.

The entrance examination is likely to be held in June or July 2018. If the question paper is to be on the same lines as the 2017 pattern, then one can expect 100 mutiple choice questions on the following subjects :

-English Language Comprehension
-General Knowledge and Current Affairs
-Reasoning and Analytical Abilities
-Legal Awareness

The examination is highly competitive because of the sheer number of candidates appearing in it. At the same time, the difficulty level is moderate. In my experience, a candidate can easily score very good marks and gain admission to the Faculty of Law with 3-4 months of dedicated preparation.

Coaching is not required, but discipline is. If you find that attending coaching classes is the only way to bring discipline to your preparations, then by all means attend classes.

For those relying on self study, the following resources would be helpful :

1.Daily reading of one national newspaper - preferably The Indian Express or the Hindu - for general knowledge and current affairs.

2.A good guide book (I used Universal) for all the other sections.

3. Regular practice of questions from the guide book.

Starting your preparations is only the first step. There are other aspects such as strategy for studies, exam-day strategies as well as mental conditioning which will be talked about in the coming posts in this series.

I will also be blogging about choice of Centres -CLC/LC-1/LC-2 etc, in the coming days. If there is any specific issue you want me to blog about, please comment.

All the best!

Three Strikes and Not Out- Lt. Col. Achuthan Sahadeva Panicker (1924-2017)

Lt. Panicker (from the personal collection of Lt.Col A.S.Panicker (Retd.)) Most men have one life. And one death. Lieutenant Colonel A.S. Panicker had three.   Strike 1 Achutan Sahadeva Panicker was given up for dead even before he opened his eyes for the first time. It was on Onam day, in 1924 that he was born in an Ezhava household near Kundara in Kollam, Travancore. He was the 8th of 9 children, born to Achutan Vaidyan and Parvathy Amma. The little baby was thought to be still born as he was not breathing. Just as his last rites were to be performed, he began to cry. A stunned family thanked their lucky stars that he cried out when he did. This was the dramatic way in which young Sahadevan entered this world.   Life begins Sahadevan attended his village school where he, like other children of his time, learnt to read and write first by drawing on mud and later on a slate. As he grew, he became a star football player. This love for football stayed with

Your Guide to Clearing DU LLB Entrance 2018 without Coaching-3 -How to read the newspaper

How to read the newspaper. My favoured newspaper was The Hindu . It is advised that the candidates read the front page thoroughly. After this, it would make sense to read the paper in the following order - 1. Glance through the business page , focus on news related to Indian Economy and International        organiztaions, such as World Trade Organization etc. 2. Then read the International Page 3. The glance through the national pages , focussing on news related to constitution and polity. 4. On the editorial page , read the two editorials on the left hand side. If the Lead editorial looks relevant, read it. If not, just read the title and any highlighted portion. On the comment page or op-ed page, read any article that naturally interests you. If not, just read the title and move on. 5. Then glance through the sports pages . 6. News given on the City Specific page - E.g Delhi/Hyderabad/Lucknow etc, can be safely ignored as far the exam is concerned. What is most imp
