INTRODUCTION
This plan is completely free for advocates and may be followed for complete schedule-based preparation. Tests and mentoring for this examination are individual-centric and are provided to paid mentees. I will personally guide a maximum of 50 mentees in this programme, with no delegation, to maintain quality. I have personally mentored 50+ officers in various ADA and Bank Officer examinations with recent selections in HP ADA in association with Bhargav Sir of Aplus Law Academy. For more details and personal mentoring, which may also be helpful for Judiciary Prelims and Mains, you may contact me via WhatsApp at 9816789740.
Delhi APP and Punjab ADA will be dealt with separately. Delhi APP requires a completely different and strong approach towards bare Acts and conceptual understanding of law.
