However, don't leave your job. All competitive exams are uncertain and unemployment is on the rise. So if you leave a job and decide to come back it will be tougher & more frustrating. So best is to prepare with job and leave only when you have to start training at the Judicial academy.
So if the idea is prepare only for UK or HP judiciary then I'll recommend you, don't.
The chances are really slim, if you aren't from state even if you qualify the pre and mains there will be some bias against you at the time of interview.
No matter where you go, the chances will always be slim irrespective of the number of vacancies since the population, especially in current times with a younger population, will outweigh vacancies.
Despite having large vacancies, a lot of states are just not worth it. I have friends in UP, Bihar & MP who absolutely hate their work due to the audience they have to cater to. OP be careful, if you don't like that state you will not be able to work there despite clearing it. And that would be worse feeling to not enjoy your career that you worked so hard for to clear.
Also, whether the candidates are 2 or 200. It's still gonna be tough. That's why it's a "competitive" exam.
It all depends on how much toh want it.
Or you can take a gamble and leave job for a year. But make sure to get a job immediately if you fail any stage of the exam. Because once you're in this competitive stage you will not realise how one year become five. It's a vicious circle.
Preparing with a job is possible only if you are doing 9-5 . Litigation and law firm is 9-9 atleast ! That will leave you physically exhausted .
Word of Wisdom - You cant have bird in both hands. Kuch na kuch ssacrifice karna hi padega and then be courageous to bear the outcome.
