No, you don’t need 3 years of legal practice to appear for PCS-J (Provincial Civil Services – Judicial) exams in most states. Most state judicial service exams require only that you have an LLB degree and be enrolled with a Bar Council, with eligibility typically starting immediately or within 1-2 years after obtaining your degree depending on the state. However, requirements vary slightly across different states, so check the specific eligibility criteria for the state’s PCS-J exam you’re targeting, as some states may have minimum age requirements or prefer candidates with some experience.
