Online applications open at www.sci.gov.in from 20 October and close at 11:55 pm on 10 November 2026. Candidates need a graduate degree, English shorthand at 110 words per minute, and computer typing at 40 wpm. The objective test is scheduled for 7 December 2026, with the answer key uploaded the next day. The selection also includes a shorthand test, a typing test, and an interview. The application fee is Rs 1,500 for general candidates and Rs 750 for SC, ST, OBC (NCL), ex-servicemen, and persons with disabilities. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The Supreme Court is hiring 65 Senior Personal Assistants, a mid-level Group B post in Pay Level 8. The application window opens on 20 October and closes on 10 November, leaving a narrow window for candidates to prepare documents and upload them. The selection process has four stages, each with a minimum qualifying mark, which means a candidate can clear the objective test but still be screened out at shorthand or typing. The 1:10 ratio for the objective test shortlist creates a large early pool, but the 1:3 ratio for the interview tightens competition sharply. Category-wise vacancy details are not yet published, which may affect planning for reserved-category applicants. The answer key is due on 8 December, with a two-day objection window, so candidates must act quickly that week. ## Coverage - adda247.com Straight recruitment notice format, no political slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
