Supreme Court Junior Court Attendant Recruitment 2026 – Overview

Supreme Court Junior Court Attendant Recruitment 2026 – Important Dates

The supreme court junior court attendant recruitment 2026 apply online last date is 25 November 2026 at 11:55 PM — not 11:59 PM, as some websites wrongly state.

Answer-key objections cost Rs 100 per objection, refunded if the objection is found valid, and the competent authority’s decision is final.

Supreme Court Junior Court Attendant Vacancy 2026 – Post Details

There is a single post in this recruitment — Junior Court Attendant, 130 posts (tentative). The number may change as per Registry requirements and administrative exigencies. The notification prints no post-wise and no category-wise break-up, so no such table is given here. Reservation is as per Rule 4A of the Supreme Court Officers and Servants (Conditions of Service and Conduct) Rules, 1961. Selection is for the preparation of a panel — mere placement in the panel confers no right to appointment.

Duties of the post. The official duties include carrying files, paper books, books and records; dusting tables, chairs, almirahs, windows, book-shelves and furniture; and serving tea, coffee, snacks, water and refreshments to Registry officers and officials.

Supreme Court Junior Court Attendant Eligibility Criteria 2026

Qualification. Minimum Class X and maximum Class XII / 10+2, from a Board or Institute recognised by the Government. No diploma, no degree and no other qualification is required — or permitted as a substitute. One aggregator’s claim that a one-year Diploma in Cooking or Culinary Arts is needed is false and is not in the notification.

Age limit. Not below 18 years and not above 27 years as on 1 October 2026.

Age relaxation. The notification gives the usual relaxation as per Government of India Rules for SC/ST, OBC (Non-Creamy Layer), Physically Challenged and Ex-Servicemen candidates, without printing numeric years for those groups — so no numeric years for them are stated here. It does state: up to 5 years maximum for dependants of freedom fighters; widows, divorced women and women judicially separated and not remarried up to 35 years (38 for OBC-NCL, 40 for SC/ST); and no upper age limit for departmental candidates of the SCI Registry. There is no relaxation for employees of other Government Departments, PSUs, statutory bodies or nationalised banks.

Supreme Court Junior Court Attendant Application Fee 2026

No other mode is accepted, and the fee once paid is not refunded under any circumstances. EWS is not listed in the Rs 750 group in the notification, so EWS candidates pay Rs 1,500.
