Supreme Court Junior Court Assistant Recruitment 2026 has opened a fresh central-government opportunity for graduates from 7 October 2026. The Supreme Court of India has notified 250 tentative vacancies for Junior Court Assistant (Group-B Non-Gazetted) under Advertisement No. F.6/2026-SC (RC). The application window closes on 28 October 2026 at 11:55 PM.
What happened?
The Supreme Court Registry has invited online applications to prepare a panel for 250 tentative Junior Court Assistant vacancies. The post is placed at Pay Level 6, with an initial basic pay of ₹35,400 plus allowances. Applications start on 7 October, making this a live opportunity.
Why it matters
This recruitment is relevant for graduates seeking a central institutional role without entering the civil-services examination route. The post is based in the Supreme Court Registry in New Delhi and combines academic eligibility with computer and English-typing requirements. The 35 words-per-minute typing requirement is a specific eligibility condition, not merely a preference.
Background
The Supreme Court of India is the apex judicial institution under the Constitution of India. Its Registry provides administrative and procedural support for the Court’s judicial work. Junior Court Assistants form part of this administrative machinery, supporting office and case-related processes.

Eligibility explained
Candidates need a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university in India, knowledge of computer operation and the prescribed English typing speed. Age is calculated as on 1 September 2026. Applicable category-wise relaxation must be checked in the official advertisement rather than inferred from another recruitment.
Selection process
The notified selection framework includes an objective-type test, typing speed test, descriptive written test and interview. The objective test is tentatively scheduled for 20 November 2026. Preparation should therefore cover objective questions, typing accuracy and written expression rather than concentrating on one stage.
Practical preparation
Begin with a daily typing session and measure both speed and accuracy. At the same time, revise English language, general awareness, basic computer knowledge and the type of objective reasoning expected in competitive examinations. Candidates should also read the official instructions carefully because the later stages may have location-specific requirements.
Application checklist
- Verify age on the prescribed cut-off date.
- Check degree and computer eligibility.
- Practise English typing at or above 35 w.p.m.
- Prepare photographs, signature and certificates in the required format.
- Submit before 28 October 2026 at 11:55 PM.
- Save the application and payment confirmation.
Exam relevance
The recruitment is also a useful gateway to static polity. Revise the constitutional position of the Supreme Court, judicial review, appointment of judges, jurisdiction and the basic structure doctrine separately from the job-specific information.
Official source
Use the Supreme Court of India recruitment section and Advertisement No. F.6/2026-SC (RC). The official advertisement remains the authority for category-wise provisions, fees and corrigenda.
