Structure of the Examination Paper

The computer-based entrance test, administered across two split sessions, featured 120 multiple-choice objective questions distributed across three core academic modules:

• Part A (General Knowledge & Mental Ability): 30 Questions
• Part B (Current Affairs): 30 Questions
• Part C (Aptitude for the Study of Law): 60 Questions

Official Tie-Breaking Architecture

In instances where multiple candidates finish with identical aggregate scores, APSCHE utilizes an automated hierarchical tie-breaking protocol to ensure clean merit ranking:

1. Law Aptitude Dominance: Candidates securing a higher standalone score in Part C (Aptitude for the Study of Law) are automatically granted the higher state rank.
2. Current Affairs Assessment: If scores remain tied, the candidate displaying a higher score in Part B (Current Affairs) receives preference.
3. Age Seniority: If a tie persists after checking both sections, seniority in age is used, with the older candidate placed higher on the merit list.
