PU LLB 2026 English & Comprehension — The 10-Marks Section Most Students Underprep
Ten marks. Ninety seconds per question. The PU LLB English section is the easiest scorer if you prep for it — and the cruellest if you don't. Here's the 2026 plan that turns this section into your guaranteed 8+/10.
What Comes in the 10 English Questions
- 1 short comprehension passage (250–300 words) — 4 questions
- Synonyms / Antonyms — 2 questions
- Sentence correction / grammar — 2 questions
- Idioms / one-word substitution — 2 questions
The Speed-Reading Method (for comprehension)
Step 1 — Read the questions FIRST (30 seconds). Step 2 — Scan the passage for keyword matches (60 seconds). Step 3 — Read only the matching paragraphs in detail. Total time: 4 minutes for 4 questions. The 'read passage fully first' habit costs you 3 minutes you don't have.
Vocabulary Plan (60-day version)
- Day 1–30 — 15 words/day from Word Power Made Easy (450 words total)
- Day 31–45 — 20 words/day from Hindu editorials (300 words)
- Day 46–60 — flashcard revision only, no new words
- Total vocab gain — ~750 words = covers 95% of PU's likely questions
Common Traps in PU's English Section
- Synonym pairs where both options 'feel' right — pick the one closer in intensity
- Comprehension Qs that ask 'author's tone' — never pick extreme adjectives (always/never/everyone)
- Grammar Qs with two correct-sounding options — modifier placement is the usual trick
