BNS, BNSS and BSA for judicial services — the codes the exam now tests

Every state judiciary exam has shifted to the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam. The section numbers you memorised for the IPC, CrPC and Evidence Act have all moved. This is the full text of the new codes, mapped section by section against the old ones, with the Constitution alongside.

आम प्रश्न

Are judiciary exams now set on the BNS or the IPC?

On the BNS. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita replaced the Indian Penal Code from 1 July 2024, and state judicial service commissions have updated their syllabi accordingly. The IPC still matters for offences committed before that date — and examiners do test whether you know both numberings.

How do I convert an IPC section to its BNS section?

Use the IPC → BNS map. It gives the new section number, the full text of both, and a word-level comparison showing exactly what the drafters changed — not just a lookup table.

Which is harder to relearn — the BNS or the BNSS?

The BNSS. The BNS mostly renumbers offences that carried over from the IPC, while the BNSS changes procedure and adds hard timelines. Practise it section by section rather than trusting your CrPC memory.
