Previous Year Question Patterns

Year Marks Question Sub-area
2021 5 Explain sexual assault under POCSO Act — definition and punishment Section 7–8 definition

Pattern observations:

  1. The 2021 PYQ was a 5-mark question — highest law marks in that year for a single act.
  2. 2026 pattern: Likely continuation — definition questions on penetrative assault, aggravated assault, aggravated categories.
  3. Child-friendly procedures (in-camera, statement recording at home) and reverse burden of proof are high-probability areas.
  4. 2019 amendment (death penalty) is a likely current affairs link.
