You’ve just finished your LLB, and one question keeps coming back: do you start preparing right away, or wait until you’ve spent time in court? Until recently, the three-year practice rule made that choice for you. It doesn’t anymore. Here’s how RJS coaching for fresh law graduates fits into the new picture, and how to decide what suits you.
What changed in August 2026?
On 21 August 2026 the Supreme Court passed its judgment in Bhumika Trust v. Union of India (2026 INSC 904). This decision changed the ruling from 2025. That 2025 order had said that three years of Bar practice were required for recruitment, as a Judge (Junior Division). The Supreme Court now modified that rule. It said the three-year Bar practice requirement would not apply to all applicants anymore. This change affected how people could apply for the Judge (Junior Division) posts.
When to join RJS coaching: two scenarios
There’s no single right answer to when to join RJS coaching. It depends on which notification you’re aiming for.
RJS coaching for fresh law graduates: the two routes
Route A: aim for the next notification. If you want to sit the exam under the no-practice rule, start a full course now. A proper RJS course takes 12 to 14 months, covering the syllabus, answer writing and several rounds of revision. Every month you delay eats into that.
Route B: practise for a year, then appear. If you’d rather build courtroom experience first, enrol with the Bar Council and join an online or weekend batch alongside. You get the practice credit and the preparation together, instead of treating them as separate phases.
Whichever you pick, don’t sit around waiting for the notification to drop. By the time it’s announced, the people who started early are already revising.
RJS coaching for working advocates
Practising and preparing at the same time is hard, so the format of the course matters more than the brand name. Look for:
- Recorded lectures you can watch after a day in court
- Weekend Mains tests, so your writing gets checked every week
- Doubt sessions that don’t require you to be in the classroom
- Notes available on an app, for travel time and gaps between hearings
If a course can’t offer these, it probably wasn’t built for people who work. RJS online coaching can work well here, provided it includes real test series and feedback and isn’t just a library of videos.
What to look for in RJS coaching in Jaipur
Jaipur has plenty of options, so it helps to know what separates a good institute from a crowded one.
Start with the basics. Good teaching begins with bare acts and core concepts, not shortcuts. Then check how much writing you’ll actually do: answer writing and judgment writing should be a regular habit, not an add-on. Hindi and English essay practice matters too, since the language papers trip up many strong candidates. Smaller batches mean your answers get read properly. And ask for results you can verify. Names, roll numbers and selection lists beat vague claims.
