If you have been putting off the Delhi District Courts application, the clock is now the story. The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) will close online applications for its Combined Examination 2026 on 4 November 2026 at 11:00 pm, and with only two days left, this is the final stretch for 641 Group B and Group C posts in the District and Sessions Courts and Family Courts of Delhi.
The recruitment, advertised as Advt. No. 04/2026, covers five posts: Senior Personal Assistant, Personal Assistant, Junior Judicial Assistant, Process Server and Peon/Orderly/Dak Peon. Applications are accepted online only, through dsssbonline.nic.in.
641 posts: who gets what
The 641 tentative vacancies, including backlog posts, are spread across the District and Sessions Courts and the Family Courts. The largest chunks are for Personal Assistant and Junior Judicial Assistant, but there is also a solid opening for Class 10 pass candidates.
- Senior Personal Assistant: 27 posts
- Personal Assistant: 206 posts (189 in District and Sessions Courts, 17 in Family Courts)
- Junior Judicial Assistant: 174 posts (151 in District and Sessions Courts, 23 in Family Courts)
- Process Server: 92 posts (91 in District and Sessions Courts, 1 in Family Courts)
- Peon/Orderly/Dak Peon: 142 posts (139 in District and Sessions Courts, 3 in Family Courts)
Who can apply
Eligibility varies sharply by post, so match your qualification to the right post code rather than applying blindly.
Senior Personal Assistant, Personal Assistant and Junior Judicial Assistant are graduate-level posts, with shorthand, typing or computer proficiency requirements depending on the role. Candidates should read the post-specific skill conditions in the detailed notification before choosing, since the skill test is qualifying in nature for several of these posts.
Process Server applicants need Matriculation or Higher Secondary, plus a valid Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) driving licence and two years of unblemished driving experience. Peon, Orderly and Dak Peon posts are open to Matriculation pass candidates. For every post, educational qualification and experience are counted as on the closing date, 4 November 2026.
Age limits and relaxations for reserved categories are given post-wise in the notification. Check the category-wise break-up for your own post before paying the fee.
Pay levels worth noting
The posts sit in different pay levels. Senior Personal Assistant is in Pay Level 8, Personal Assistant in Pay Level 7, Junior Judicial Assistant in Pay Level 5, Process Server in Pay Level 4 and Peon/Orderly/Dak Peon in Pay Level 3. Exact salary figures and the fee structure are in the official notification on dsssb.delhi.gov.in, which remains the final authority.
How selection works
Selection is through a multi-tier process that differs by post. In broad terms, candidates face a Tier I objective (MCQ) examination, followed by post-specific stages such as a descriptive paper, a typing or shorthand skill test, a driving test for Process Server, and an interview carrying 15 marks for several posts.
That matters because many candidates clear the MCQ stage and stumble on typing speed or shorthand. Practise the skill test for your own post alongside the written syllabus.
How to apply before 4 November
- Visit the DSSSB online portal, dsssbonline.nic.in, and register if you are a new user.
- Select Advt. No. 04/2026 and the correct post code: 805/26 for Senior Personal Assistant and Personal Assistant, 806/26 for Junior Judicial Assistant, 807/26 for Process Server and 808/26 for Peon/Orderly/Dak Peon.
- Fill in personal, educational and category details carefully, since qualifications are judged as on 4 November 2026.
- Upload the required documents in the prescribed format and pay the fee online before 11:00 pm on 4 November.
- Submit the form and save a copy of the confirmation page and payment receipt for future reference.
Do not wait until the final hour. Portals for large Delhi recruitments routinely slow down on closing day, and an incomplete or unpaid form after the deadline will not be accepted.
What to do after applying
Once the window closes, DSSSB will announce the examination schedule separately. Admit cards and the Tier I date will be published on the DSSSB website, so keep checking dsssb.delhi.gov.in rather than relying on forwarded messages.
For Delhi job seekers, this is one of the bigger court recruitments of the year, and the mix of graduate and Class 10 posts means it reaches a wide pool. Two days is enough time to file a careful application, but only if you start today.
