The Supreme Court of India will hold the objective-type test for 250 Junior Court Assistant vacancies on 20 November 2026, the first stage of the four-step selection process. The Group-B non-gazetted posts, at Pay Level 6, carry an initial basic pay of Rs 35,400 plus allowances. The online application window closed on 28 October 2026. Candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree, computer knowledge and a minimum typing speed of 35 words per minute. The age limit is 18 to 30 years as on 1 September 2026, with relaxations for SC, ST, OBC-NCL, persons with disabilities and ex-servicemen. The application fee is Rs 1,500 for general category and Rs 750 for reserved categories. The subsequent stages after the objective test are a computer-based typing speed test, a descriptive written test and an interview. The admit card for the November test is expected to be released during this month.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The 20 November objective test opens a selection process for 250 Group-B posts at India’s top court. Candidates must clear four stages, objective test, typing test, descriptive test and interview, but the admit card date is still only listed as ‘November 2026’, leaving thousands of applicants guessing when they will learn their exam centre and timing. With no revised schedule for the later stages announced, the entire recruitment timeline for FY2026-27 remains fluid after the first round.
