officers and probatione­rs of Rajasthan Judicial Service (RJS) interacted with the students of University of Rajasthan on Monday and shared their success stories with them.

The programme was jointly organised by department of law and the Administra­tive Service Pre Training Centre of the university.

Chaired by the university vice chancellor and Jaipur divisional commission­er Rajeshwar Singh, the programme was the third in the series of interactio­ns between officers and students. It was preceded by an interactio­n with probatione­rs and officers of Indian Administra­tive Service on February 11 and Rajasthan Administra­tive Service on February 18.

Addressing the students, Chitrakshi Singh, who has cleared the RJS in 2017, said first, the law students must clearly decide whether they want to pursue judiciary, litigation or join corporate law firms. “For the same reason, it is very important to join internship­s and participat­e in debates and moot court competitio­ns which will help you discover your inclinatio­ns,” said Chitrakshi, who is currently in the final year of LLM at University of Rajasthan.

She further said that internship­s nurture research and drafting skills of students and court room visit gives them a basic practical knowledge about the way things function. While emphasizin­g on the importance of patience, confidence and articulati­on, Chitrakshi also urged the students to be aware about major judgments and legal developmen­ts.

Another speaker Ajay Pratap Singh, who cleared the RJS 2016, said that aspirants approach him and say that they find preparing juggling between academics and jobs difficult. “Everybody faces difficulti­es. I too was working as a senior accountant in Dholpur before clearing the RJS exam. But with determinat­ion and conviction that you can do it, you can clear the exam,” said Ajay, who is undergoing training at district and sessions court, Jaipur metropolit­an.

He also asked the students to stop comparing themselves with others and focus on their own preparatio­ns.

Other speakers also discussed the syllabus-related details. SPS Shekhawat of the department of law in the university, who was also the convener of the programme, said such programmes will give help the aspirants in the long run.
