Delhi High Court SPA and PA Recruitment 2026

The recruitment is being conducted for Group B Senior Personal Assistant and Personal Assistant posts at the High Court of Delhi. The eligibility conditions differ mainly in the required shorthand speed: 110 words per minute for SPA and 100 words per minute for PA.

Delhi High Court Vacancy Details 2026

Senior Personal Assistant accounts for 117 of the 150 vacancies, while the remaining 33 posts are for Personal Assistant.

Senior Personal Assistant Category-wise Vacancies

Seven SPA vacancies carry horizontal reservation for PwBD candidates.

Personal Assistant Category-wise Vacancies

The supplied category figures for PA contain an internal discrepancy: EWS 7, OBC-NCL 16, SC 5 and ST 12 add up to 40, while the stated total number of PA vacancies is 33. Candidates should therefore rely on the official Delhi High Court notification for the correct category-wise PA distribution rather than using the conflicting figures.

Three PA posts are stated to carry horizontal reservation for PwBD candidates.

The prescribed educational and skill qualifications must be possessed as on October 5, 2026.
