LPJ: Did you clear RJS exam on the first attempt?
Radhika: Yes, ma’am, this was my first attempt.
LPJ: When did you decide to pursue a career in the judiciary after completing your graduation?
Radhika: I decided to pursue the judiciary career when I was in the 9th or 10th grade. In the 10th class, I was a CBSE topper. However, in 11th, I opted for the Humanities stream and completed my 11th and 12th.
After finishing my 3-year B.A. in 2019, I took admission in a 3-year LLB program in Hanumangarh and later began preparing for the judiciary.
LPJ: Do you have anyone at home from a legal background who inspired you, or did you decide independently to pursue this career?
Radhika: I don’t anyone in my family who belongs to law field. I made this decision on my own.
LPJ: As a CBSE topper, did you face any pressure regarding your choice of law over other fields like science or B.Tech?
Radhika: No, ma’am. My family has always been supportive. They never pressured me to choose a specific course and respected all my decisions regarding my studies. There was no pressure.
LPJ: During your preparation, did you feel any pressure? Did you expect to secure Rank 1 in RJS 2024?
Radhika: During my prelims and mains, I was consistently motivated by my family and supportive teachers, especially during the judiciary coaching.
LPJ: Was your support system instrumental in keeping you motivated?
Radhika: Yes, they were. Their constant support and encouragement gave me the confidence to clear the exam.
LPJ: This year’s mains exam had some unexpected questions. How did you handle them, particularly in the English subject?
Radhika: Although my primary mode of study was English, my Hindi has always been strong. I had prepared for English, focusing on a few selected topics, but unfortunately, they weren’t asked in the exam. I managed to handle it somehow.
LPJ: How did you plan your judiciary preparation?
Radhika: My approach was straightforward. From the first day, I was determined to clear the mains, confident that I would get through the prelims. I prepared with the mains in mind.

Radhika: I started my preparation in 2019 and joined RJS Coaching in Jaipur in 2022. I knew it would take time, as I wasn’t someone who could clear the exam in 6 months or a year. I started early to have enough time for revision.
LPJ: How did you structure your daily study routine?
Radhika: I didn’t follow a specific schedule but studied as much as possible each day. I set daily targets, such as completing 20, 30, or 50 sections, followed by revision.
LPJ: What message would you like to give other students about staying patient and mentally strong during their RJS preparation?
