Bombay High Court Vacancy: Jobs at Bombay High Court for those who have passed Class 4; find out who is eligible to apply..

Bombay High Court Vacancy: There is a job opportunity at the Bombay High Court for candidates with lower educational qualifications who are seeking government employment. Recruitment is underway for 18 Cook positions at the Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court. A notable feature of this recruitment is that the minimum educational qualification required is merely passing the 4th standard; however, simply passing the 4th standard is not sufficient. Candidates must possess knowledge of Marathi and Hindi and have the ability to prepare various types of dishes. The application process is currently open, and candidates must submit their applications exclusively via Speed ​​Post. Applications must reach the concerned office by 5:00 PM on September 10, 2026.

**Recruitment for 18 Cook Positions**
A total of 18 Cook positions will be filled at the Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court. One of these positions is reserved for differently-abled candidates. Upon completion of the recruitment process, a selection list of 17 candidates will be prepared, while four candidates will be placed on a waiting list. Applicants should note that the number of vacancies is limited and the selection process involves multiple stages; therefore, it is essential to verify eligibility criteria and all other conditions before applying.

**4th Standard Pass Required**
Candidates applying for the Cook position must have passed at least the 4th standard. Additionally, candidates must possess good character and conduct. Proficiency in reading, writing, and speaking Marathi and Hindi is also mandatory. Furthermore, candidates must know how to prepare various vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes; in other words, eligibility is not based solely on educational qualifications—cooking ability will play a crucial role in the selection process.

**Preference for Candidates with Cooking Courses and Experience**
Preference will be given to candidates who hold a cooking course certificate from a recognized institution. Additionally, preference will be given to candidates with at least two years of experience as a cook or chef in a three-star or five-star hotel or a recognized institution. This means that candidates possessing professional culinary training or prior work experience may have an advantage during the selection process.

Who can apply?

For this recruitment, candidates from the general category must be between 18 and 38 years of age. Candidates from backward classes are granted a relaxation in the upper age limit and may apply up to the age of 43. There is no upper age limit for existing court or government employees; however, such employees must submit their applications through their respective offices.

Shortlisting followed by a cooking test

Candidates for the post of Cook will first undergo a shortlisting process. The shortlist will be prepared based on the number of applications, educational qualifications, other credentials, and culinary experience. Shortlisted candidates will then be required to take a practical cooking test. This test carries 30 marks, and securing a minimum of 15 marks is mandatory; candidates failing to achieve this minimum score will not be eligible to proceed to the next stage of the selection process. Subsequently, candidates will undergo a physical efficiency test worth 10 marks. The final stage of the selection process consists of an oral interview worth 10 marks. Thus, the entire selection process for the Cook post comprises a total of 50 marks.

No fee required at the time of application

Candidates are not required to pay an application fee when applying for this recruitment; however, shortlisted candidates must deposit a fee of ₹200 during the subsequent stages of the process. This fee must be paid via a Demand Draft or Postal Order drawn in favor of the "Registrar, High Court Bench, Aurangabad." Once deposited, this fee is non-refundable.

Applications must be sent via Speed ​​Post, not online

It is also important for candidates to understand the application procedure. Applications are not to be submitted online. Candidates must first visit the official Bombay High Court website, bombayhighcourt.gov.in, to view the official recruitment notification. They need to download the application form—referred to as Annexure-A—provided in the notification. After filling out the form carefully, candidates must enter their educational qualification details in the correct order. Finally, a recent passport-sized color photograph must be affixed in the designated space.

**Mandatory documents must accompany the application**
Candidates are required to attach self-attested photocopies of necessary documents along with the application form. These include marksheets verifying educational qualifications, proof of date of birth, caste certificate, disability certificate (where applicable), proof of residence, and a certificate proving cooking experience. Additionally, candidates must submit a character certificate, a family declaration, and—if currently employed by the government—a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their respective office. A list of dishes the candidate can prepare, a self-addressed envelope affixed with a ₹5 postage stamp, and a passport-sized photograph must also be enclosed.

**Write "Application for the post of Cook" on the envelope**
After attaching all required documents to the application form, the candidate must send the complete application exclusively via Speed ​​Post. It is mandatory to write "Application for the post of Cook" in clear, bold letters on the envelope so that it can be easily identified for the relevant recruitment process.

**Applications must reach by September 10**
Candidates should note that merely sending the application is not enough; the complete application and all necessary documents must reach the concerned office by 5:00 PM on September 10, 2026. Therefore, candidates are advised to submit their applications well in advance rather than waiting until the last date.
