More than CGPA, it is the grasp over syllabus and overall analytical skills that matter most for law STUDENTS in civil service examination. Having said that, I believe a DECENT CGPA would always be an ASSET to the law student, be it in this examination, or legal jobs or pursuing higher studies, etc.

I can answer the second question only from my own experience. As I was the batch topper with a HIGH CGPA, I was apprehensive that they could ask me a lot of law-related questions expecting accurate answers. And this is what happened I was asked factual questions spanning multiple law subjects. However, the interview experience is very SUBJECTIVE and nothing is a precedent.
