📄 Past subjective papers — what they ask
B.A.LL.B Entrance 2083 (70 marks, 2 hrs 30 min)
- Long (1×20): fundamental rights under the 2072 Constitution — challenges to realization + constitutional/legal/institutional reforms; or sources of law — is custom an effective source? requirements of valid custom.
- Short (any 3 × 10): classification of rights & its importance; independence of judiciary in Nepal (constitutional provisions + decisions); equity vs equality; separation of powers & checks and balances in Nepal.
- Creative Writing (English, ≥300 words, 1×20): constitutional/legal/policy measures to protect farmers’ rights and agricultural sustainability in Nepal.
B.A.LL.B Entrance 2082/083 (70 marks, 2 hrs 30 min)
- Long (1×20): benefits/problems of unicameral provincial legislatures; or “law is an instrument of social change” — are Nepalese laws adequate against caste & gender discrimination?
- Short (any 3 × 10): substantive vs procedural law; “justice delayed is justice denied”; equality & non-discrimination / substantive equality; fundamental rights vs human rights + remedies in Nepal.
- Creative Writing (English, ≥300 words): should Nepal lower the legal age of marriage (child marriage vs population concerns)?
Older papers (from ‘Password to B.A.LL.B.’, e.g. 2071)
- Long: role & importance of law in society; or meaning of fundamental rights.
- Short (then 4×10): legislation as a source; custom & its validity requirements; precedent & its role; rigid vs flexible constitution; legal vs moral rights.
- Creative Writing: annual vs semester system for B.A.LL.B (~200 words).
✍️ Answer-writing & Creative Writing tips
- Long answer (20): define → classify → constitutional provisions (cite article numbers!) → examples/cases → criticism → conclusion.
- Short answers (3×10): one page each: definition + elements + Nepali example. Distinction questions = table format.
- Creative Writing (20, English, ~300 words): prepare frameworks for recurring themes — farmers’ rights, child marriage, federalism, corruption, rule of law, judicial independence, AI & law. Structure: issue → constitutional/legal position → gap → reforms → conclusion.
- MCQ drilling: constitution article numbers + “jurist/book/maxim” pairs daily — they dominate the past papers.
