Current — Category-I
This drive is structured across two separate notifications covering different recruitment streams. Notification 429/2026 fills backlog and current vacancies for Typist Grade-III, Peon/Attender, Driver, and Process Server — a mix of pending reserved-category backlog posts and fresh current-year vacancies. Notification 428/2026 is a more straightforward direct (Mool Vrundadhi) recruitment, almost entirely for Peon/Guard (Javana) posts, which together with its 7 Driver vacancies forms the bulk of this year’s openings.
For candidates with only an SSLC pass, the Peon/Guard (Javana) and Driver categories — together accounting for 96 of the 110 vacancies — represent the most accessible entry point into Karnataka’s judicial department, while the Typist Grade-III and Peon/Attender posts additionally require Senior Grade typing/shorthand qualifications from the Public Education Department.

- Caste/Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/Category-I/II/III) issued by the Government of Karnataka

❌ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Paying the fee under a name other than “Vitteeshadhikariyavaru, Nagar Civil Nyayalaya, Bengaluru” — leads to rejection
- Attempting payment via DD, Cheque, Money Order, or Cash — only SBI Collect online payment is valid
- Uploading the fee receipt in the application — this is not required
- Submitting multiple applications — only the last one is processed; earlier ones are ignored
- Submitting a category certificate not issued by the Karnataka Government in the prescribed format
- Providing an incorrect email/mobile number — all communication, including test call letters, goes only to the registered contact details
- Missing the application window — the portal closes automatically on 30 July 2026 at 11:59 PM with no late or offline provision
- Not noting special category footnotes — e.g., the SC (Cat-C) backlog vacancy under Notification 428/2026 is reserved first for the 59 most backward sub-castes
- Drivers producing only a light motor vehicle licence — a valid Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMV) licence is mandatory
- Submitting false or incomplete information — discovery during or after selection leads to cancellation of candidature and possible criminal prosecution
