If you have passed Class 10 and are looking for a central government job in Delhi, today is the day to act. The Supreme Court of India has opened online applications for 130 Junior Court Attendant posts, and the window stays open only until 25 November 2026. This is a Group C, non-clerical post in the Court Registry in New Delhi, with pay at Level 3 of the Pay Matrix, starting at Rs 21,700 per month plus allowances.
The recruitment runs under Advertisement No. F.3/2026-SC (RC), dated 15 October 2026. The vacancy count is tentative, so the Registry can change it if administrative needs change.
130 posts, applications open today
Online applications opened on 4 November 2026 through the Supreme Court website, sci.gov.in. The last date to submit the form is 25 November 2026, up to 11:55 pm. That gives applicants 21 days from today, so there is time to gather documents, but there is no reason to leave it to the final evening, when portals often slow down.
Do not confuse this post with Junior Court Assistant, a different, clerical post the Court recruits separately. Junior Court Attendant is a non-clerical support role in the Registry. The distinction matters, because the qualification ceiling is different here, as explained below.
Who can apply
The eligibility rules are deliberately narrow, and they are measured as on 1 October 2026:
- Education: Minimum Class 10 (X Standard) from a Board or Institute recognised by the Government, and maximum Class 12 (10+2). Candidates with qualifications above Class 12 should read the notification rule carefully before applying.
- Age: Not below 18 years and not above 27 years as on 1 October 2026. Reserved categories get age relaxation as per government rules.
- Job location: New Delhi, in the Supreme Court Registry. Examination centres are across India.
Pay, fee and what the job involves
Selected candidates will be placed in Level 3 of the Pay Matrix, with a pay scale of Rs 21,700 to Rs 69,100 plus allowances as admissible under the rules. The starting basic pay is Rs 21,700 per month, and allowances are over and above that figure.
The application fee is Rs 1,500 for General and Unreserved candidates and Rs 750 for candidates in the reserved categories listed in the notification. The fee is non-refundable and must be paid online only, through the payment gateway provided. Keep the payment receipt safe.
As a Junior Court Attendant, the day to day work is practical Registry support. The notification lists duties such as carrying files, paper books and records, dusting tables, chairs, almirahs, windows and bookshelves, and serving tea, coffee, snacks and water to officers and officials of the Registry.
Selection: objective test, then interview
Selection has two stages, and both have minimum qualifying marks:
- Objective Type Test: 100 multiple choice questions for 100 marks, in 1 hour 30 minutes. The paper has 25 questions each on General Intelligence and Reasoning, Numerical Aptitude, General English and General Awareness. The minimum qualifying mark is 50, and there is negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer.
- Interview: 25 marks, with a minimum qualifying mark of 13.
The objective test is tentatively scheduled for 26 December 2026. Treat that date as tentative and confirm the final date, centre and timing from the admit card, which will be available for download from the Supreme Court website. Admit cards will be download only, and no travel allowance is payable.
How to apply, step by step
- Go to sci.gov.in and open the recruitment link for Advertisement No. F.3/2026-SC (RC).
- Read the full notification before filling the form, especially the maximum qualification rule and the age cut-off date of 1 October 2026.
- Complete online registration with personal and educational details, then upload a recent photograph, signature and the required documents, including Class 10 and Class 12 certificates and a caste or community certificate if you are claiming reservation.
- Pay the fee online, preview the form carefully, and submit it. Once submitted, it cannot be withdrawn or modified.
- Save the application number. You will need it to download the admit card later. If you submit more than one form, only the last submitted application will be considered.
Candidates in government service must produce a No Objection Certificate at document verification. Apply only through the official website. Any other link asking for payment should be treated as suspect.
