    The Uttar Pradesh (UP) Judiciary Exam is a prestigious examination conducted by the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) to recruit candidates for the position of Civil Judge (Junior Division) in the state’s judicial services. The exam aims to select qualified and competent individuals who can serve as judicial officers and administer justice effectively.

    The UP Judiciary Exam follows a three-stage selection process:

    1. Preliminary Examination: The UP PCS J prelims exam is the first stage of the UPPCS Judiciary recruitment process.

Previously, before 2022, there used to be 5 papers, including a single language paper. All the papers in the mains exam are of descriptive nature, requiring candidates to provide written answers.
