DLM Expert Insight: Law carries double the weight of General Studies. Therefore, MP ADPO aspirants must give maximum attention to BNS, BNSS, BSA, Constitution, MP-specific laws and special criminal laws.
The official scheme provides negative marking using the formula:
R = number of correct answers
W = number of wrong answers
This means:
+3 marks for each correct answer
-1 mark for each wrong answer
| Category | Minimum in Section A | Minimum in Section B |
|---|---|---|
| General | 40% | 40% |
| SC / ST / OBC / EWS / PH | 30% | 30% |
Candidates must secure separate qualifying marks in both sections. Do not focus only on total marks. You must qualify both sections separately. This means you cannot ignore General Studies, even though Law carries more marks.
The Interview carries 50 marks.
Aspirants should prepare:
Important Interview Mindset: The duty of prosecution is not merely to secure conviction. The true duty of prosecution is to assist the court in the administration of justice.
The official Section A syllabus includes 5 units.
