The Supreme Court Senior Court Assistant Answer Key 2026 is now available for candidates who sat for the Senior Court Assistant-cum-Senior Programmer tests on 02-11-2026. The Supreme Court of India put the keys for both the Written (Objective Type) Test and the Objective Type Technical Aptitude Test on its website on 04-11-2026, so everyone who appeared can now match their responses against the official answers and work out where they stand. One point to note straight away: the short window for raising objections has already closed, on 05-11-2026 at 11:55 PM, so this page works as a record for checking the key rather than a live objection alert. The six Senior Court Assistant-cum-Senior Programmer posts in this drive carry Pay Level 8, and the recruitment is being run directly by the Registry of the Supreme Court of India.
