Allahabad HC Recruitment 2026

How Allahabad HC Recruitment Works

Allahabad HC recruits court staff such as clerks, stenographers, translators and support staff, and in many states it is also involved in recruiting civil judges. In some states the High Court conducts the judicial service exam itself; in others the state public service commission does it in consultation with the High Court.

Court Jobs and What They Involve

Allahabad High Court has its principal seat at Prayagraj, with a bench at Lucknow. Court establishments recruit for their registry and for the district courts under them, so notices can come from the High Court itself or from an individual district court.

Common court posts include junior judicial assistant or clerk, stenographer, typist, translator, process server, driver and peon. Stenographer and typist posts include a skill test, and translator posts a language test. Civil judge recruitment is a separate judicial service exam with its own eligibility, mainly a law degree.

• Typing and shorthand speeds are usually tested on a computer, so practise on a computer keyboard rather than on paper.
• Many court posts ask for knowledge of the local language, because court records and proceedings in lower courts often use it.
• District court notices are often short and open for only a few weeks, so check this page regularly.
