The Supreme Court of India has invited online applications from Indian citizens to prepare a panel for 130 tentative vacancies of Junior Court Attendant (Group 'C' Non-Clerical post), by direct recruitment. You need to have passed Class 10, and the advertisement also sets a maximum qualification of Class 12 (10+2), so a higher qualification, such as a degree, is above the advertised limit. The age limit is 18 to 27 years as on 1 October 2026. The post is in Level 3 of the Pay Matrix (₹21,700–69,100).

The application link is not live yet. The advertisement says it will be given on the Supreme Court website, and online registration starts on 4 November 2026. Fee is paid online only, through the UCO Bank payment gateway, and postal applications are not accepted.

There are two stages, and each has minimum qualifying marks.

Objective test: questions by subject

• Each question carries 1 mark. There is negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer.
• If a large number of candidates score the qualifying 50 marks or more, candidates are called for interview in the ratio of 1:3 to the number of tentative vacancies, in order of merit.
• The interview is held either online or in person in Delhi.

The advertisement gives only the subject names and question counts. It does not give a detailed syllabus.

The age limit is 18 to 27 years as on 1 October 2026. The advertisement allows these relaxations:

Reservation follows Rule 4A of the Supreme Court Officers and Servants (Conditions of Service and Conduct) Rules, 1961. To claim it, you need a valid caste/community certificate and, where it applies, a non-creamy layer certificate from the competent authority. Reserved category candidates who qualify on relaxed standards may be considered only against reserved vacancies, not unreserved ones.

The objective test is held in the 131 cities listed in Annexure-A of the advertisement. You choose cities in order of preference in the form. The Registry can still move you to any other city, and it may add or remove test centres depending on the number of applications. Requests to change the city, test centre or the date of the test or interview are not accepted, and no TA/DA is paid.
