Candidates can refer to these general tips for AIBE 22 preparation:
Solving previous year question papers is the best way to prepare for the AIBE 22 exam. The AIBE previous year question papers help candidates understand the syllabus and pattern in a much better way.
Another preparation habit candidates must inculcate is to start preparing using Bare Acts. When candidates solve PYQs using bare acts, they get a good feel of the actual exam.
Time management is the key to ace the AIBE 22 exam. Candidates must practice as many sample papers as they can to improve their time management. This would ensure they finish the paper well in time.
Give extra time to the new additions in AIBE syllabus - Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam as these are relatively new subjects and not included in the previous year question papers except AIBE 20 and 21.
While preparing for the AIBE 22 exam, candidates must give first preference to high weightage topics. Candidates must prioritise high-weightage topics like Constitutional Law, I. P. C. (Indian Penal Code) & (New) Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Cr. P. C. (Criminal Procedure Code) & (New) Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, C. P. C. (Code of Civil Procedure), Evidence Act & (New) Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam.
