  Bangladesh Judicial Service (BJS) Viva-voce Preparation . The viva-voce of the 17 th BJS is knocking at the door. I am sharing some tips for this exam. Firstly, you have to be patient for doing better in viva. You will definitely be asked some unknown or uncommon questions. This is very much normal. So, do not over think about this. The criteria for passing the viva is not to answer all the questions correctly. This is not possible at all. You have to say “Sorry, I do not remember the answer at this moment” in terms of some questions. Take it as normal.     Secondly, you have to know about the question zone from which question may be asked. The common questions zones are- the Code of Civil Procedure(CPC), 1908; the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898;   the Penal Code,1860; the   Evidence Act,1872; Constitution; the Specific Relief Act(SR),1877; the Transfer of Property Act,1882; the Contract Act, 1872; the State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950; the Non-...
