Supreme Court Junior Court Attendant Recruitment 2026: 130 Posts for Class 10 to 12 Pass

The Supreme Court of India will fill 130 tentative posts through the Supreme Court Junior Court Attendant Recruitment 2026. The online form runs from 4 November to 25 November 2026 (until 11:55 PM). You need Class 10 at least, and Class 12 is the highest qualification the notice allows. You must be 18 to 27 years old on 1 October 2026. An objective (multiple-choice) test is planned for 26 December 2026, followed by an interview.

Carrying files and serving tea in the Registry: the duties in paragraph 27

The notice spells out the daily work. Apart from other duties, a Junior Court Attendant carries files, paper books, books and records. The job also includes dusting tables, chairs, almirahs, windows, book-shelves and other furniture. The attendant serves tea, coffee, snacks, water and other refreshments to officers and staff of the Registry.

Read this before you apply. The duties the notice lists are physical support tasks. It lists no typing or computer work, though it also mentions “other duties” without describing them.

130 posts at Pay Level 3 and a starting basic pay of Rs 21,700

The Junior Court Attendant is a Group C non-clerical post in the Supreme Court Registry. Both labels are the notice’s own words; the Junior Court Assistant, by comparison, is a Group B post. The notice places it in Level 3 of the pay matrix. The pay matrix is the central pay table, and each level in it has its own pay range. Level 3 runs from Rs 21,700 to Rs 69,100 a month in basic pay.

A new Junior Court Attendant starts at a basic pay of Rs 21,700 “plus allowances”. The notice does not list the allowances or their rates. So we do not estimate the monthly in-hand amount here.

Three more points from the notice matter:

• The 130 vacancies are tentative. The Registry may change the number (page 1).
• Selection builds a panel. Being on the panel does not give a right to a job (paragraph 21).
• The notice gives no split of the 130 posts by category. Reservation follows Rule 4A of the Supreme Court Officers and Servants (Conditions of Service and Conduct) Rules, 1961 (page 2).

Class 12 as the ceiling: the qualification rule on page 1

Page 1 sets two limits on education. The minimum is the Class 10 exam from a Board or Institute recognised by the government. The maximum is Class 12 (10+2) from such a Board or Institute. All conditions are judged as on 1 October 2026.

So this notice sets a ceiling as well as a minimum. Read literally, the “maximum Class 12” line leaves out anyone with a higher qualification, such as a degree. The notice does not name graduates directly. It also says nothing about a diploma, an ITI (Industrial Training Institute) course or a degree still in progress. If one of these applies to you, ask the Registry before you pay the fee.

Your Class 10 certificate also matters in the form. Your name, your parents’ names and your date of birth must match it (paragraph 11). A changed name needs proof through a Gazette Notification, which is an official notice of the change printed in the government Gazette.

Supreme Court Junior Court Attendant Recruitment 2026 next to the Junior Court Assistant post

The Supreme Court also advertised a post with a similar name on 30 September 2026, with a form from 7 to 28 October 2026. The two names are easy to confuse. This table uses page 1 of each advertisement, page 3 of the Attendant notice and the Supreme Court’s notice of 6 October 2026.

The Assistant post asks for a degree, while the Attendant notice lists Class 12 as the maximum. So the two posts suit different readers. Our page on the Supreme Court Junior Court Assistant 2026 covers that post in full.

Widows up to 35 and no cap for Registry staff: age relaxations in F.3/2026

You must not be below 18 and not above 27 on 1 October 2026. The notice does not print a birth-date range.

Rs 750 for OBC Non-Creamy Layer, Rs 1,500 for General, and no word on EWS

The fee is paid online only, through a UCO Bank payment gateway. It is not refunded in any case. OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) candidates also pay the lower fee. The notice does not mention EWS (Economically Weaker Section) candidates anywhere. EWS applicants may wish to confirm their fee with the Registry.

Four 25-question sections and a 0.25 penalty in the Attendant test

The objective test is planned for 26 December 2026. “Tentatively” is the notice’s own word. The interview date will come later on the Supreme Court website, and by SMS and e-mail.

Each question carries 1 mark. A wrong answer costs 0.25 marks. So four wrong answers wipe out one right answer. The notice sets a penalty only for incorrect answers.

The notice prints one pass mark of 50 for the test and no separate mark for any category. General Instruction 3 does mention reserved candidates who qualify “on the basis of relaxed standards”. Paragraph 20 covers the case where a large number reach 50 marks. Then the interview call goes out at 1:3 against the tentative vacancies, in merit order. If the 130 vacancies stay as they are, that would mean about 390 candidates at the interview stage. The notice does not say how test and interview marks are added for the final panel.

Answer keys are due on 28 December 2026. Objections can be made online, tentatively from 28 to 29 December 2026 (until 11:55 PM). The charge is Rs 100 per objection, and the Registry pays it back for any objection it accepts.

Test centres in 30 states and union territories: your preference and the Registry’s right to shift it

Annexure-A lists 131 test cities in 30 states and union territories. You pick cities in order of preference in the form. Uttar Pradesh has 13 cities, the most of any state, among them Agra and Varanasi. Bihar has 8, including Patna, Gaya and Muzaffarpur. Delhi/NCR is one entry on the list.

Your preference is not final. Paragraph 13 lets the Registry shift a candidate to a listed city or even to some other city, and add or drop centres. After you apply, it will not accept requests to change the city or the date (paragraph 15). No travel allowance is paid for the test or the interview.

Class 10 details, certificate uploads and city choices in the online form

The notice says the form link will appear on www.sci.gov.in. On 16 October 2026 no link was listed yet. The steps below follow pages 2 to 5 of the notice:

1. Open the Supreme Court recruitments page from 4 November 2026 and find the Junior Court Attendant link.
2. Fill in your name, parents’ names and date of birth as in your Class 10 certificate. If your name has changed, use the new name and keep the Gazette proof. You cannot change your category later.
3. Upload your photo, signature, Class 10 certificate, Class 12 certificate if you have one, and caste or disability certificate if it applies.
4. Choose your test cities in order of preference.
5. Pay Rs 1,500 or Rs 750 online through the UCO Bank gateway.
6. Preview the form and keep a printout and your application number. You need not send the printout to the Registry.

Check every entry before the final click, because paragraph 5 bars any withdrawal or edit afterwards. If you submit two forms, only the last one counts. Keep your mobile number and e-mail active, because the Registry will send updates there.

Working in a government office, PSU, statutory body or nationalised bank? You will need a No Objection Certificate from your employer at document verification (DV), the stage where your documents are checked. If you get a job after applying, you must inform the Recruitment Cell at recruitment.cell@sci.nic.in.

Diploma holders, allowances and marks under F.3/2026: points to raise with the Registry

• How many of the 130 posts go to each category.
• Whether a diploma or ITI holder counts as above Class 12.
• How the test and interview marks are combined for the panel.
• The syllabus, beyond the four section names.
• The allowances paid on top of the Rs 21,700 basic pay.

Watch the Supreme Court recruitments page for any notice on these points. Meanwhile, keep clear scans of your photo, signature and Class 10 certificate ready, plus your Class 12 certificate if you have one. Get a valid caste or non-creamy layer certificate if you claim a reserved seat. Practise reasoning, arithmetic, English and general awareness questions, and avoid blind guesses because of the 0.25 penalty.

Other court recruitments for Class 10 pass candidates are on this site too.
