This is not a gazetted officer job and not the Junior Court Assistant (clerical/exam-heavy) stream. Read the post name carefully on the apply link so you do not fill the wrong form.
Who can apply
Eligibility is checked as on 1 October 2026.

Keep the payment reference with your application number. If the bank debits you but the form shows unpaid, do not raise a second payment until you have checked the application status on the same portal and, if needed, the helpline path on sci.gov.in.
Scheme of examination
The advertisement sets two stages.
| Stage | What it is | Duration | Max marks | Qualifying marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Objective Type Test (100 MCQs): 25 General Intelligence and Reasoning, 25 Numerical Aptitude, 25 General English, 25 General Awareness | 1 hour 30 minutes | 100 | 50 |

Admission to both stages is provisional. Documents are checked at document verification. If you do not meet education or age rules, the candidature can be cancelled at any stage.
How to apply online, step by step
☐ Open https://www.sci.gov.in/recruitments/ ☐ Find Link to submit online applications for the post of Junior Court Attendant and the detailed advertisement dated 15 October 2026 ☐ Register / log in on the application link and fill personal details exactly as on your Class X certificate (name, father, mother, date of birth) ☐ Upload photo, signature and certificates (Class X, Class XII if any, caste/community, disability if applicable) in the size and format the form asks for ☐ Pay the fee online through the UCO Bank gateway ☐ Preview the form, submit it, and save a printout for your records ☐ Note the application number; you will need it for the admit card later ☐ Do not post any printout to the Registry
If you submit more than one form, the advertisement says only the last submitted form is considered. Correct mistakes by submitting a fresh complete form before the deadline rather than hoping an earlier draft will be fixed.
Documents checklist before you hit submit
☐ Class X certificate / mark sheet (for DOB and eligibility) ☐ Class XII certificate if you studied till 12th (remember the maximum education bar) ☐ Caste / community certificate and non-creamy layer certificate where required, in the candidate's name ☐ Disability certificate in the format used for scribe/compensation if you need that facility ☐ Recent photograph and signature scans matching the portal instructions ☐ Fee payment proof / UTR
Name, father's name, mother's name and date of birth must match the Class X record. Mismatches are a common reason forms get into trouble later at verification.
What happens after 25 November 2026
☐ Watch the Recruitments page on sci.gov.in for admit card, exam city and interview notices ☐ Download the admit card using your application number when the link appears ☐ Appear for the objective test; qualifying mark is 50 out of 100 ☐ If shortlisted, appear for the interview (qualifying 13 out of 25) ☐ Keep originals ready for document verification
There is no fixed exam date in the pages of the advertisement we checked on 6 November 2026. Treat every date on WhatsApp forwards as unconfirmed until it appears on sci.gov.in.
Mistakes that waste the fee
☐ Applying on the Junior Court Assistant link by mistake ☐ Applying after studying beyond Class 12 ☐ Entering a different DOB from the Class X certificate ☐ Paying twice because the first payment was still processing ☐ Waiting for a postal form (there isn't one) ☐ Ignoring the 25 November 2026, 11:55 PM cut-off in Indian time
Final reminder
If you meet the Class 10–12 rule and the 18–27 age band (with relaxations if they apply to you), finish the online form on sci.gov.in before 25 November 2026, 11:55 PM. Save the application number and fee receipt the same day. For civic representatives while you plan the move to Delhi for tests, you can still look up your home-state MP or MLA on NetaSampark.
