Selection Process
The selection process for Delhi HJS runs across 3 stages: the Preliminary Examination (Objective Type, just completed), the Mains Examination (Written), and a Viva-voce (interview). Only Preliminary marks decide qualification for Mains — they typically don’t carry forward to the final ranking.
Eligibility Recap
This recruitment is open to practising Advocates with at least 7 years of experience, within the 35–45 years age bracket (with relaxation as per Delhi High Court rules).
Since this recruitment specifically targets practising Advocates with 7+ years’ experience rather than judicial service officers, save your Prelims marks PDF now — it may be required later during Mains admit card verification.
