# Supreme Court extends Court Master recruitment deadline to 15 Nov 2026-11-01T02:21:10+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court of India has extended the last date for applications to 15 November 2026 for 15 tentative vacancies of Court Master (Shorthand) on a deputation basis. The earlier deadline of 27 October 2026 has been pushed back. High Courts now have until 20 November 2026 to forward applications to the Supreme Court Registry, instead of 31 October 2026. Candidates must be High Court or District Court employees with at least five years of regular service as Private Secretary, Senior PA, PA, or Senior Stenographer. Applicants need a recognised university degree, shorthand proficiency at 120 words per minute, and computer typing speed of 40 words per minute. The pay scale is Level 11 (Rs 67,700 - Rs 2,08,700). Applications must be sent via email and by post through the concerned High Court to the Recruitment Cell, Supreme Court of India, Tilak Marg, New Delhi, by 15 November 2026. The selection process includes a shorthand skill test and an interaction. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The extension gives eligible court staff in High Courts and District Courts an extra 19 days to apply, but the window is still tight for those who must route applications through their High Court's administrative machinery. The requirement that the candidate's age must not exceed 56 years as of 1 October 2026, a date already past, may disqualify some who otherwise meet the service and skill conditions. The next step is for High Courts to collect and forward applications by 20 November 2026. ## Coverage - freejobalert.com Lists dates, eligibility and procedure without any editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
