Frequently Asked Questions
Complete Q&A — Delhi High Court JJA Result 2026 (Stage-I Prelims)
When was Delhi High Court JJA Result 2026 declared?+
The Delhi High Court JJA / Restorer Stage-I Preliminary Examination (CBT) Result 2026 was officially declared on 25 April 2026 at delhihighcourt.nic.in. The result notice was signed by Arun Kumar, Registrar, High Court of Delhi. The CBT was conducted on 22 March 2026 across Delhi/NCR centres for 152 vacancies. A total of 2,343 candidates have been shortlisted for Stage-II Mains exam on 24 May 2026.
What are the official category-wise cut-off marks for Delhi HC JJA 2026?+
The official category-wise cut-off marks for Stage-I Prelims (out of 120 marks) are: General — 93.333 | EWS — 96.666 | OBC-NCL — 86.923 | SC — 87.248 | ST — 78.205 | PwBD (Horizontal) — 54.221. Candidates scoring equal to or above these marks in their respective category are shortlisted. Notably, EWS has the highest cut-off (96.666) — higher than General (93.333) — due to intense competition for 12 EWS vacancies.
How many candidates appeared and were shortlisted?+
A total of 26,226 candidates appeared in the Stage-I CBT held on 22 March 2026. 9,573 candidates were absent. Out of those who appeared, 2,343 candidates have been shortlisted for Stage-II Mains (approximately 15 times the total notified vacancies of 152). This is an overall shortlisting rate of approximately 8.9% — meaning roughly 1 in 11 candidates who appeared made it to the next round.
What is the Delhi High Court JJA Mains exam date 2026?+
The Stage-II Main (Descriptive) Examination for Delhi HC JJA 2026 is scheduled for 24 May 2026 (Sunday). All 2,343 shortlisted candidates are eligible to appear. The Mains exam is 100 marks, 2-hour duration, in English language, covering essay writing, letter writing, grammar, and translation. Mains marks count in the final merit list.
Why is EWS cut-off higher than General cut-off in Delhi HC JJA 2026?+
The EWS cut-off (96.666) is higher than the General cut-off (93.333) because EWS has only 12 vacancies but shortlisting is done at 15 times the vacancy — requiring only 180 candidates. With a large number of EWS applicants competing for a smaller pool of spots, the qualifying threshold rises higher. This is mathematically consistent with how competitive cut-offs work when there are fewer seats but a similarly competitive applicant pool. In contrast, General has 62 vacancies requiring 930 candidates, giving more room.
Are Prelims marks counted in the final Delhi HC JJA merit list?+
No. The Stage-I Preliminary CBT is qualifying in nature — candidates must clear the category-wise cut-off to be shortlisted, but marks scored in Prelims are NOT added to the final merit list. Similarly, the Stage-III English Typing Test is also qualifying. The final merit list and selection are based solely on Stage-II Mains (Descriptive) marks + Stage-IV Interview marks combined. This means your Prelims rank has no bearing on final selection — what matters is Mains and Interview performance.
My roll number is not in the result PDF — am I disqualified?+
If your roll number does not appear in the shortlisted candidates PDF, it means your CBT marks were below the category-wise cut-off, and you have not qualified for Stage-II Mains. First, ensure you are searching in the correct PDF (not the notice PDF but the roll number list PDF). Also verify you searched your exact roll number using Ctrl+F without extra spaces or characters. If after careful verification your roll number is not found, you can check your individual marks at the scorecard portal (cdn.digialm.com) to confirm your score against the category cut-off.
What is the typing speed requirement in Delhi HC JJA Typing Test?+
Stage-III English Typing Test requires a minimum speed of 35 words per minute (WPM) in English on a computer. The test duration is 10 minutes. The Typing Test is qualifying — candidates must clear it to proceed to Interview but typing marks are not added to merit. Candidates who clear Mains (Stage-II) are called for the Typing Test. Ensure adequate typing practice in English to comfortably achieve 35+ WPM accuracy.
What is the salary for Delhi High Court Junior Judicial Assistant?+
Selected JJA / Restorer candidates are placed at Pay Level-6 of the 7th Pay Commission Pay Matrix: ₹35,400 to ₹1,12,400 per month. In addition, employees receive Dearness Allowance (DA), House Rent Allowance (HRA), Transport Allowance, and other central government benefits. The post is a Group B (Non-Gazetted) permanent position at the High Court of Delhi.
What documents are needed for Document Verification in Delhi HC JJA 2026?+
Candidates must carry originals and self-attested photocopies of: 10th certificate (for date of birth proof), Graduation degree/provisional certificate + mark sheets, Category certificate (OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS/PwBD as applicable), Typing speed certificate or proof, Photograph (passport size, same as application), and any other documents specified in the interview call letter. Government/PSU employees must produce a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their employer.
