About This Recruitment
District Courts, Karnataka has notified recruitment for 55 posts. Applications are accepted online from 30 Jul 2026 to 31 Aug 2026. The prescribed qualification is SSLC for Process Server and Peon, or 2nd PUC with Kannada and English typewriting for Typist, and the age limit is 18 to 35 years before category relaxation is applied. The vacancies are spread across 4 distinct posts, and the category-wise split for each is set out in the vacancy table below.
Selection is made through Typist and Typist-Copyist, Process Server and Peon and Servant, followed by the remaining stages set out below. Selected candidates are placed in the pay scale of ₹27,000 to ₹67,600, depending on the post, plus allowances. The place of posting is District and subordinate courts of Ramanagara, Karnataka.
The application fee is ₹200 for General, and no fee is payable by SC, ST, Category 1 and differently-abled candidates. The entire process is completed online, from registration through to fee payment and the final printout of the confirmation page. Check the notification for whether a correction window is offered, because most fields cannot be amended once the form is submitted.
Read the official notification in full before you begin the form. Eligibility, fees and dates are revised through corrigenda more often than candidates expect, and an application submitted against the wrong criteria is rejected at document verification rather than at submission — by which point the cycle is over.
