SC maintains that entry-level judicial service examinations demand three years of legal experience
...

The Supreme Court said on Thursday that it would open a "box of a pendora", if it changed its decision to practice the need to practice law graduates for at least three years, before they could sit for the admission level judicial service examination. A judge of Madhya Pradesh was pleading with the Supreme Court to be ruling with the Supreme Court so that the current judicial officers could sit for testing, keeping in mind their former judicial experience.

On 20 May, a court led by Chief Justice BR Gavai established a minimum three-year-old law practice requirement and stopped recent law graduates from taking admission-level judicial service exams. According to the ruling, lawyers should practice the law for three years before they are eligible to sit for the Judicial Service Examination. It was also decided to take into account the three -year experience of the graduation of law as an intern of law.
The three -year experience of the judicial officer allowed him to sit for the judicial service examination, yet he was not paid attention. A bench of CJI and Justice's Vinod Chandran refused to re -evaluate his former judicial officer's experience on Thursday, allowing them to sit for new trials in other states.
