What this DSSSB district court recruitment 2026 actually is

Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board is the recruiting body of the Government of NCT of Delhi. In this advertisement it is hiring for Delhi District and Sessions Courts and Family Courts. These are court staff posts: stenographer-type assistants, junior judicial assistants, process servers and peons. This is not the Delhi Judicial Service exam and not a civil judge seat. A junior judicial assistant handles court office files. A process server serves court papers. A peon moves dak inside the court.

Who should apply — and who should skip

Apply if you are a citizen of India, you are 18 to 27 as on 1 June 2026 (or you fit a relaxation printed in paragraph 8 of the advertisement), and you match one post. Junior Judicial Assistant needs a graduate degree and typing of not less than 40 words per minute on computer. It does not ask for an LL.B.

Skip if you want a judge or prosecutor post. This advertisement does not recruit Civil Judges or Assistant Public Prosecutors. Also skip if you cannot type at the printed speed, or if someone asks you to pay outside SBI e-pay. Age is counted on 1 June 2026, not on the last date. Qualification is counted as on the closing date rules in the advertisement. The official notice wins if a coaching page prints a different age.
