Faculty of Law: How To Write Answers in LL.B. Exams
(University of Delhi)
*****
1. First of all read, all the instructions, direction and malpractices rules
of the examination carefully. The examinee must ensure full
adherence of the said instructions.
2. Students must fill all information in the main answer sheet and also
fill all information in supplementary sheet (loose sheets) too.
6. Student must refrain from writing answer with giving extra gaps in
the answer sheet, leaving blank pages, leaving extra space from the
top and bottom of the answer sheet to show maximum written
pages. The examiner is not impressed by these kinds of dirty tactics
to impress or by showing the bogus claim that the examinee has
filled maximum sheets, because, at the end of the day, your content
matters, not how much you write but what you have wrote. In
simple language-quality does matter, not quantity.
12. Organise your time while writing the answer in such a way that you
must have time at least 15-20 minutes for re-looking the answers at
the end. This is very important.
13. Writing answer with good analytical skills mostly refers to having a
good command over English, hence, your answer must be free from
all grammatical errors and bad sentence structures. Please try to
write simple sentences and give answer at least in good and
readable writing. No doubt that students get extra credit for neat
and clean hand writing.
14. Check your seat before taking over it, and ensure no objectionable
material is found in your possession or on your seat.
16. Examinee must avoid highlighting the answer with different colour
highlighters, the heading and main points can be underlined with
your writing pen i.e. Blue Ball Pen/Blue Gel Pen. The massive use of
highlighter just makes your answer sheet more colourful and flashy
that might lead to reduced weightage from the eyes of the examiner.
17. It has also been observed that sometimes an examinee writes only
Part A of the Question 1 and Part B at the end of the answer sheet or
with another question. This causes unnecessary confusion to the
examiner while evaluation of the answer sheet, therefore, such kind
of mindlessness must be refrained from by the students. Please
ensure that you attempt both Part A and B at the same place and
with continuity.
E. How to Analyse the Cases- Examiner never asks for the whole story
of a case, but relevant facts of the case should be added in the
answer. Whenever you wish to discuss any case law in the answer,
please follow this method:
