Delhi High Court Higher Judicial Service HJS Answer key 2026

Delhi High Court Higher Judicial Service HJS Answer key 2026 — a answer key release — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 15 July 2026 and a fee of ₹2,000 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Court establishment recruitment usually tests general knowledge and language alongside a typing or stenography skill test that is qualifying but eliminative. Confirm the required typing speed and the language it is tested in before applying.

Applications open on 01 July 2026 and close on 15 July 2026, giving candidates 15 days to complete the process. At 15 days this is a normal-length window, but the fee and upload steps are the ones that fail late, so leave a few days of margin. The exam is currently shown for 26/07/2026; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 35 to 45 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 10-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Bachelor Degree in Law (LLB) in Any Recognized University in India. 7 Year Advocate Practice More Eligibility Details Read the Notification. If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹500 and ₹2,000, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, and net banking. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Work out a provisional score from the official key before the objection window closes. Objections generally require a fee per question and supporting evidence, and are only worth raising where you can cite a source. Do not use unofficial keys circulating on social media to estimate cut-offs — they are frequently wrong on exactly the disputed questions.
