How should you prepare for PU LLB Migration Entrance Test 2027?

- Read the bare Acts for article and section numbers. Many questions ask which Article or Section deals with a rule.
- Study the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The 2026 5th semester paper asked BNS sections, not the old IPC.
- Solve the official past papers in one hour each and check them with the answer key, counting the negative marks.
