Candidates who have passed Class 10 or Class 12 (but not graduates) and are aged 18 to 27 can apply online from 4 November to 25 November 2026, 11:55 PM.

Who Should Apply

• Junior Court Attendant (130 posts, tentative) — Class 10 pass at minimum and Class 12 pass at maximum, aged 18 to 27

If you have already completed a graduation, you are not eligible for this post. The source describes the post as Group C and regular basis but does not describe the duties. [check] Check the notification for the exact job profile.

Eligibility & Age Limit

You need to have passed Class 10 (X Standard) from a Board or Institute recognized by the Government. The upper qualification limit is Class 12 (10+2). The source also says that graduation pass is not eligible. Its line about candidates "appearing" for graduation is unclear, so [check] it in the notification if you are in the final year of a degree.

The age limit is 18 to 27 years. Relaxation in the upper age limit:

[check] The source reckons age as on 25 November 2026, but another site gives 1 October 2026. Confirm the date in the notification, then check your exact age as on the cut-off date.

Salary & Pay Scale

The post carries 7th CPC Pay Level 3, with a starting basic pay of ₹21,700 per month plus allowances. The pay scale for Level 3 runs up to ₹69,100, as reported by secondary sources. [check] The source gives no gross or in-hand figure, so none is quoted here.

Important Dates

[check] The test date is not in the source article. Check it in the notification.

Application Fee

The source lists two fee amounts, ₹750 and ₹1,500, and gives ₹1,500 to SC/ST/Ex-Servicemen/PwBD candidates and ₹750 to others. That looks reversed: in the Supreme Court's other recruitment this season (Junior Court Assistant), General candidates pay ₹1,500 and SC/ST/OBC-NCL/Ex-Servicemen/PwBD candidates pay ₹750. [check] Do not rely on either assignment here. Read the fee table in the official notification before you pay. Payment is online only.

How to Apply

1. Read the official notification carefully, including the annexures.
2. From 4 November 2026, go to the Careers page of the Supreme Court website, https://www.sci.gov.in/, and open the Junior Court Attendant application link.
3. Register and fill in your details accurately.
4. Upload the photograph, signature and certificates asked for. [check] The source does not give size or format rules.
5. Pay the fee online.
6. Submit before 25 November 2026, 11:55 PM, and keep a printout.

The portal was not open when the source was published, so do not use any application link shared before 4 November unless it comes from sci.gov.in.

How Are Candidates Selected

Computer Based Test: 100 questions — 25 on General Intelligence and Reasoning, 25 on Numerical Aptitude, 25 on General English and 25 on General Awareness. [check] The source does not give the duration, marks, qualifying marks or negative marking.

Interview: Candidates who clear the test are called for an interview. [check] The source does not say how many candidates are called per vacancy.

Why This Job Matters

The Supreme Court recruits its own Registry staff directly, and this is a Group C non-clerical post open to Class 10 and Class 12 pass candidates, which makes it one of the few Supreme Court posts that does not need a degree. The 130 vacancies are tentative and may change.

The FreshersLike Take

Best fit: A Class 10 or Class 12 pass candidate aged 27 or under who wants a regular central government post at Pay Level 3 and can face a CBT and an interview.

Who should think twice: If you are a graduate you cannot apply at all, and if you are a final-year student the source is unclear, so you could lose your fee if you apply without checking.

Practical tip: Use the time before the portal opens on 4 November to collect your Class 10 certificate, proof of age and any category or disability certificate, and read the fee table in the notification itself rather than a third-party page, since the fee amounts in this source look reversed.

Documents Required

• Class 10 certificate and mark sheet (and Class 12, if you hold it)
• Proof of Date of Birth
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL), where applicable
• Disability certificate, where applicable
• For PwBD candidates who need a scribe: the certificate of physical limitation to write (Appendix I) and the undertaking for using your own scribe (Appendix II), both attached to the notification
• Ex-servicemen discharge certificate, where applicable
• Photograph and signature [check] as specified in the notification

What Happens After Selection

The source lists only the CBT and the Interview. [check] Document verification, medical examination, joining and probation details are not stated.
