Jobs: Vacancies at the Supreme Court, salary up to ₹1.51 lakh—a golden opportunity for graduates..

Supreme Court Senior Personal Assistant Recruitment 2026: An opportunity has arisen for graduates to secure a government job in the country's highest court. The Supreme Court of India has announced recruitment for 65 Senior Personal Assistant positions. Online applications for these posts will commence on October 20, 2026. Selected candidates will receive an initial basic salary of ₹47,600 (under Pay Level-8), which can eventually reach up to ₹1,51,100 per month. However, a graduation degree alone is not sufficient for this role; candidates must also achieve a specified speed in English shorthand and computer typing. Let us explore who is eligible to apply, what the examination will entail, and the stages involved in the selection process.

Recruitment at the Supreme Court – Applications Open Until November 10
The Supreme Court of India has initiated a recruitment process to fill 65 Senior Personal Assistant vacancies. These positions fall under the Group-B (non-gazetted) category. The online application process begins on October 20, 2026, and interested candidates may apply until November 10, 2026. Applications will be accepted exclusively through the Supreme Court’s official recruitment website. A tentative date for the objective-type examination has also been announced; the exam is scheduled to be held on December 7, 2026. The answer key is expected to be released the following day, December 8. Candidates will have the opportunity to raise objections regarding the answer key on December 8 and 9.

Beyond Graduation: Shorthand and Typing Skills Required
To qualify as a Senior Personal Assistant at the Supreme Court, candidates must hold a graduation degree from a recognized university. In other words, candidates who have obtained a bachelor's degree from any recognized university meet the educational qualification requirement. However, the most significant aspect of this recruitment is the mandatory requirement for English shorthand and computer typing skills. Candidates must possess an English shorthand speed of at least 110 words per minute. Additionally, an English typing speed of 40 words per minute on a computer is required. Basic knowledge of computers is also necessary.

This means that a graduation degree alone is not sufficient to secure the job; candidates must also pass a shorthand and typing test, in addition to a written examination.

Candidates aged 18 to 30 years are eligible to apply.

For this recruitment by the Supreme Court, the minimum age for candidates is set at 18 years, and the maximum age at 30 years. Age will be calculated as of October 1, 2026—meaning that on this date, a candidate must not be younger than 18 or older than 30. However, candidates from Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and other eligible reserved categories will be granted relaxation in the upper age limit, in accordance with government regulations. Detailed terms regarding age relaxation can be found in the official recruitment notification.

What will the salary be?

Candidates selected for the position of Senior Personal Assistant will be compensated according to Level 8 of the pay matrix. The initial basic salary for this post is set at ₹47,600 per month, with the pay scale extending up to a maximum of ₹1,51,100 per month. Furthermore, selected candidates will receive other applicable allowances as per the rules. It is important to note that ₹1,51,100 is not the starting salary; rather, it represents the maximum basic salary limit for this position. Employment will commence with a basic salary of ₹47,600, to which applicable allowances will be added. Multiple Tests Required to Secure the Job
Candidates seeking the position of Senior Personal Assistant at the Supreme Court will be required to go through several stages. The process begins with an objective-type examination, followed by an English shorthand skills test and a computer typing test. The selection process also includes an interview. Through these assessments, candidates will be evaluated on their general knowledge, proficiency in the English language, understanding of constitutional provisions related to the judiciary, knowledge of Supreme Court rules, and computer literacy. Additionally, the candidates' actual speed and proficiency in shorthand and typing will be assessed.
