AP High Court Civil Judge Recruitment 2026: key facts

Where things stand as of 12 October 2026

Completed

The High Court issued the notification on 25.09.2026 and posted the online application entry on 01.10.2026. Both are past events.

Not confirmed

The listings we reviewed do not show the opening date, the closing date, the exam schedule or any extension. We therefore cannot say whether the application window is still open on 12 October 2026. Check the notification PDF and the application portal for the last date before you plan anything.

How to apply

1. Open the official notification PDF and read it fully: Civil Judge (Junior Division) notification, 2026.
2. Go to the High Court's Recruitment Notifications page, aphc.gov.in/recruitments.php, and use the entry marked "Click here to apply" under Civil Judge (Junior Division).
3. Complete the online form at the application link listed by the High Court, following the instructions in the notification.

The listings do not describe the form's individual steps, so rely on the notification and the portal for those.

Details to confirm in the official notice

The pages we reviewed are notification listings, not the notice text. We could not verify the following, so we do not state them here:

• Educational qualification and age limits
• Application fee and any category-wise concessions
• Reservation and the distribution of the 119 posts
• Selection stages, syllabus and exam dates
• Pay scale and place of posting
• Application opening and closing dates

Do not confuse this with other High Court recruitments

The same Recruitment Cell page lists several other judicial notifications for 2026. They are separate from this one:

• 16 posts of Civil Judge (Senior Division) by accelerated promotion through a Limited Departmental Competitive Examination (LDCE), from the Civil Judge (Junior Division) category (listed 17.09.2026).
• 30 posts of District Judge through an LDCE among Civil Judges (Senior Division) (listed 30.09.2026).
• 10 posts of District Judge (Entry Level) under direct recruitment (listed 30.09.2026).

A separate, earlier entry records a Government of Andhra Pradesh order dated 27.08.2026 appointing 41 candidates as Civil Judges (Junior Division). That belongs to an earlier recruitment and has no bearing on the 119 posts advertised now.
