The BCI may be after money and unfit to run the exam, or they may be doing their best to take on the task. We'll see. But the fundamental unfairness, the lack of notice, of these last-minute changes is manifest. It's almost as if they're baiting someone into a PIL to stop the exam on the 9th so they can have another chance to organize it properly down the road.
That may be far-fetched, but at least it would be rational. What they have done so far is not rational.
-Students are ill- informed
-Format has been changed
-Last minute declaration that study material will not be issued, dispite a hike in the examination fee.
-Bringing in additional Topics such as GK and History in the syllabus a week before the examination.
It is but a stance taken up by the BCI which needs to be probed.
Under no circumstance can a national Examination for law students, which are perceived to be the future of the judiciary and make up various parts of this nation, be amended and organized in such a manner so to say "Haphazardly".
Hopefully students will protest remedy such demeanor of the BCI authorities.
[Thanks, have amended the headline slightly. -Ed]
kudos bci!!!
the sample paper is so poorly drafted and lacks any logic and does not even stick to the lame syllabus and no. of questions per topic designed by BCI itself.
==========
Q. Which Explanation to Sec 11 refers to cases in which a decision in a suit may operate as res judicata against persons not expressly named as parties to the suits
A) Explanation II to Sec. 11.
B) Explanation III to Sec. 11.
C) Explanation IV to Sec. 11.
D) Explanation VI to Sec. 11.
==========
Is one expected to memorize Sections and explanation numbers of all acts?!! or is the question construed as an easy answer as this is a open book exam?!! Are we expected to carry bare acts of all subjects?! nothing but ridiculous and i repeat lackadaisical :(
What or which of the advocacy skills or whatever is being tested in the said question?
OR
How is the question related to the objectives of the AIBE?
Section 11 of which Act?
Elsewhere the short title "Criminal Procedure Code, 1973" is incorrect. It is "the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973".
The list continues . . .
we desperately need some saviours
