The application window for the Supreme Court of India's Junior Court Attendant posts opens today, and this is one of those openings where the qualification ceiling matters as much as the floor. The Registry is filling 130 tentative Group C, non-clerical posts under Advertisement No. F.3/2026-SC (RC), dated 15-10-2026 — and only candidates whose highest qualification sits between Class 10 and Class 12 can apply. Anyone holding a degree above Class 12 is outside the eligibility bracket for this particular post.
The job itself is a support role in the Registry at New Delhi, paid at Level 3 of the Pay Matrix with a starting basic of Rs. 21,700 plus allowances. Forms are online only through sci.gov.in, and the window is short: it closes at 11:55 PM on 25-11-2026.
