Supreme Court of India Junior Court Assistant 2026: Online Application Guide

The Supreme Court of India is recruiting for the post of Junior Court Assistant in 2026. Its official Recruitments page lists a detailed advertisement dated 30 September 2026 and a separate notice carrying the link to submit online applications. This page was checked against the Supreme Court's listing as of 10 October 2026. The listing shows its own last update as 9 October 2026.

Quick facts from the official listing

Is the vacancy count 250?

This page was commissioned with a figure of 250 posts. The Supreme Court listing reviewed here does not show a vacancy number, so the figure is not confirmed. Check the vacancy table and any category-wise or reservation breakdown in the detailed advertisement before relying on it.

Status as of 10 October 2026

• Published: the detailed advertisement and the online-application link notice are both on the official Recruitments page.
• Application window: the opening and closing dates are not visible in the pages reviewed, so this page does not say whether applications are still open. Read the dates in the advertisement and use the official link.
• Exam and later stages: no 2026 schedule, admit card, result or interview notice appears in the listing. Nothing after the application stage should be treated as scheduled or completed on this evidence.

How to apply

Step-by-step

1. Open the Supreme Court of India Recruitments page and look for the 2026 Junior Court Assistant entries.
2. Read the detailed advertisement dated 30 September 2026 in full. Check the educational qualification, age limit, fee, documents, vacancy details and last date there.
3. Open the online application link notice and follow its instructions to reach the application form.
4. Also read the “In re: Junior Court Assistant Examination-2026” notice, since its subject is not clear from the listing.
5. Apply only through the official route named in those notices. Keep a copy of your submission.

What this page cannot confirm

The detailed steps inside the application portal, accepted payment modes and document formats are not in the evidence reviewed. Use the official PDFs for these.

Is this a permanent job or an apprenticeship?

This is a recruitment to a named post in the Supreme Court of India. It is not listed as an apprenticeship. The pages reviewed do not state the terms of appointment, pay level or service conditions, so this page does not describe the post as permanent or temporary. The same Supreme Court page lists some other roles, such as Law Clerk-cum-Research Associates, as short-term contractual engagements, so check the Junior Court Assistant advertisement for its own terms.

Preparation context from earlier cycles

The Recruitments page also shows the 2025 Junior Court Assistant cycle. Its notices mention a computer-based objective test, a typing speed test on computer, a descriptive test in English and an interview, followed by select and wait lists. This is background only. The 2026 stages, marks and cut-offs must be confirmed from the 2026 advertisement.

The page also lists a syllabus for “Junior Court Assistant-cum-Junior Programmer”. That is a different post title from Junior Court Assistant, so do not assume the syllabus applies unless the 2026 advertisement says so.

Avoid mixing up court recruitments

Several court recruitment notices circulate at the same time. For example, the Gauhati High Court Kohima Bench site lists its own notices, including one for Stenographer Grade-III in the Nagaland District Courts. These are separate employers and posts and are not part of the Supreme Court Junior Court Assistant recruitment.
