# Supreme Court announces 20 Court Master posts 2026-10-25T11:11:42+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court has begun recruiting Court Masters (Shorthand), with applications open from 25 October 2026. There are 20 tentative vacancies. Candidates must hold a graduation degree, have at least five years of experience as a shorthand writer or in stenography, and achieve a shorthand speed of 120 words per minute and typing speed of 40 words per minute in English. The age limit is 30 to 45 years as of 1 October 2026, with relaxation for reserved categories. Selection includes a written objective test, shorthand test, typing test, and interview. The objective test is scheduled for 7 December 2026, with the answer key released on 8 December and objections accepted until 9 December. Applications must be submitted online at sci.gov.in by 15 November 2026, 11:55 PM. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The 20 vacancies offer a narrow entry into the higher judiciary's administrative ranks. The experience and speed requirements filter for seasoned stenographers rather than fresh graduates, limiting the applicant pool. The objective test on 7 December, answer key release on 8 December, and two-day objection window on 8 to 9 December set a tight timeline for candidates to verify their scores. ## Coverage - udaipurkiran.com Straight announcement of vacancy details and dates.
