Judicial Entrance Test

The topper of the Joint Entrance Exam (Mains) in Assam, his father and three others arrested for allegedly using a proxy to write the country's premier engineering entrance test have been sent to five days' police custody by the Guwahati Chief Judicial Megistrate Court on Thursday. They were arrested on Wednesday night.

The government is in the process of finalising a bill to establish an all-India judicial service to recruit officers for subordinate courts through an entrance test. Those who clear the pan-India test would be appointed by high courts and the state governments.

The government has proposed to the Supreme Court a NEET-like examination to recruit judges to the lower judiciary. The proposal comes close on the heels of several states, including some ruled by the BJP, opposing the formation of an all-India judicial service, a 60-year-old idea.
