The Screening Test should be prepared in two parts:
Prepare law from Day 1.
Suggested law areas:
| Old Law | Updated Law for Preparation |
|---|---|
| Indian Penal Code | Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 |
| Code of Criminal Procedure | Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 |

Prepare:
Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam is relevant in both Civil Law and Criminal Law because evidence law is important across legal proceedings.

Aspirants should prepare:
An Assistant District Attorney must be legally sound, fair, ethical, balanced and committed to justice.
The role of prosecution is not merely to secure conviction. The true role of prosecution is to assist the court in the administration of justice.
Candidates up to 10 times the number of advertised posts may be called for the Subject Knowledge Test.
Since the earlier ADA process involved 255 posts, this means approximately 2,550 candidates, along with bracketed candidates if any, may be called for the Subject Knowledge Test under that recruitment structure.

This makes the Screening Test highly competitive. Even though its marks are not counted in final merit, it controls entry into the Subject Knowledge Test.

Final Merit = Subject Knowledge Test Marks + Interview Marks
Do not prepare only for MCQs. Haryana ADA selection will finally depend on your subjective law performance and interview personality.
Minimum 50% Screening questions are expected from law. Do not treat Screening as only GK. Prepare law daily.
These are central to the criminal law portion and Subject Knowledge Test. Prepare new section numbers, important definitions, important offences, criminal procedure flow, evidence principles, old-to-new law mapping, MCQs and subjective answers.
Civil Law is a major part of the Subject Knowledge Test. Prepare CPC, Contract, Partnership, Sale of Goods, Hindu Law, Mohammedan Law, Customary Law and BSA in civil proceedings.
Screening is MCQ-based. Subject Knowledge Test is subjective. Your preparation must include MCQ practice, bare act reading, short notes, answer writing and timed writing practice.
Haryana GK is important for the non-law portion. Prepare Haryana history, geography, polity, economy, culture and current affairs.
The Subject Knowledge Test carries the highest weightage. A good legal answer should include introduction, relevant provision, ingredients, explanation, application, case law where relevant and conclusion.
A future ADA must show legal maturity, fairness and prosecution-oriented thinking.
