The Patna High Court recruits District Judges (Entry Level) to the Bihar Superior Judicial Service directly from the Bar through a preliminary test, a main written examination and a viva-voce, and promotes serving Civil Judges through a Limited Competitive Examination (LCE) against a 10% quota. The High Court posts previous question papers of both routes and the model answers of each preliminary test. The scheme is set in each advertisement; it was not verified from an official text PDF for this page, so no pattern table is given.
