If the words below feel new, read this first. The Supreme Court Registry is the office that runs the court’s files, listings and records. A Junior Court Assistant is a Group B non-gazetted clerk-type post in that office, not a judge and not a lawyer. Level-6 is a central pay matrix band. The starting basic pay printed in public copies of this notice is ₹35,400. Allowances sit on top. Basic pay is not in-hand salary.

What the Supreme Court Registry actually does

The Registry keeps case files, assists court rooms, and handles the paper that moves a case from filing to order. This drive is to prepare a panel against 250 tentative vacancies of Junior Court Assistant. The count is tentative and can change. Posting is at the Supreme Court in New Delhi.

What kind of role this is

Group B, non-gazetted, Pay Level-6. It is a regular registry post, not a contract internship. The selection has more than one stage: an objective test, a typing test, a descriptive test, and an interview. The objective test is tentatively on 20 November 2026. The answer key is tentatively on 22 November 2026, with objections up to 11:55 pm on 23 November 2026. Typing, descriptive test and interview dates are to be notified separately.

Who should apply — and who should skip

Apply if you have a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university in India, you can operate a computer, you can type English at 35 words per minute on a computer, and you are 18 to 30 years as on 1 September 2026.

Skip if you do not have the degree yet, you cannot type at 35 wpm, or you are looking for a law-clerk research seat. Law clerk notices on the same sci.gov.in page are a different window. Also skip anyone who asks you to pay them to “confirm” a Supreme Court seat. Apply only on sci.gov.in.
