What Is the Typist and Peon Salary in Kodagu?
These are Karnataka Revised Pay Scales for subordinate court staff, plus DA, HRA and other admissible allowances. Madikeri is a small hill-district HQ, so HRA will be lower than Bengaluru.
| Post | Starting basic | Pay band | Indicative in-hand (first year) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typist | ₹34,100 | ₹34,100–₹67,600 | ~₹42,000–₹50,000/month |
| Driver | ₹34,100 | ₹34,100–₹67,600 | ~₹42,000–₹50,000/month |
| Process Server | ₹31,775 | ₹31,775–₹61,300 | ~₹38,000–₹46,000/month |
| Peon/Attender | ₹27,000 | ₹27,000–₹46,675 | ~₹32,000–₹40,000/month |
Figures are indicative (starting basic + DA + HRA for a non-metro posting, minus NPS ~10% and usual deductions). Actual take-home depends on current Karnataka DA and the exact station. Use the 7th CPC Salary Calculator only as a rough cross-check; Karnataka court scales are state RPS, not identical to central matrices.
Selected staff join NPS, not old pension. Two-year probation applies under the Karnataka Civil Services (Probation) Rules, 1977.
What Is the Application Fee?
| Category | Fee |
|---|---|
| General | ₹300 |
| Category 2(A), 2(B), 3(A), 3(B) | ₹150 |
| SC / ST / Category-1 / PwBD | Exempted |
Pay only through the SBI e-Pay portal linked on the application site (net banking, card, UPI or QR). Cash, DD, postal order, money order and challan are not accepted. Unpaid applications are rejected. Fee is non-refundable.

| Driver | Driving test + interview | As per Karnataka Subordinate Courts Rules, candidates attend at their own expense |
| Process Server | Shortlist on SSLC/equivalent % + interview | Shortlist 1:25 per post/category. Interview: 10 marks |
| Peon/Attender | Shortlist on SSLC/equivalent % + interview | Shortlist 1:10 per post/category. Interview: 10 marks |
Typist typing is on a computer with the Kwenpu-Nudi Kannada layout. Download the Kannada keyboard layout PDF before you practise.
No separate CBT date is mentioned. Selection is still multi-stage: shortlist or skill test, then interview, then document verification and medical fitness before appointment.
Why Does Kodagu District Court Matter?
The Principal District and Sessions Court at Madikeri runs the Kodagu district judiciary under the Karnataka High Court. Staff here handle filing, process service, court driving and daily office support across the hill district.
Kodagu is a small unit compared with Bengaluru City Civil Court or larger coastal districts. That usually means fewer seats, closer-knit offices, and postings inside Kodagu rather than statewide hopping in the first years.
The honest downside is scale and litigation risk. Only 39 seats are open, and the recruitment order is subject to final orders in W.P. Nos. 200448/2025, 17968/2025 and 3145/2023 before the Karnataka High Court. Candidates searching for Kodagu court jobs, Madikeri judiciary bharti, or Karnataka district court peon vacancies should treat this as a local regular post, not a fast metro career ladder.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take
Set this next to other 2026 Karnataka district-court drives, not against KPSC or police constable exams. Uttara Kannada notified 78 Process Server and Peon seats. Ramanagara notified 55 Typist, Process Server and Peon seats. Bengaluru City Civil Court ran a much larger 110-post window. Kodagu’s 39 seats are smaller, but the pay bands match the same subordinate-court RPS, and the application window is still open till 03 October 2026.
Best fit: SSLC-pass Kodagu or nearby Karnataka candidates who can work in Madikeri-centred courts, plus PUC typists who already hold Senior Grade Kannada and English certificates and can type on Nudi.
Who should skip: Graduates hunting Group-B growth, candidates unwilling to serve in a small hill district, and anyone without Kannada literacy applying for Peon. Driver applicants without a live Heavy Vehicle licence waste the fee.

Practical tip: Apply on the exact post URL and start Nudi practice this week. For Process Server and Peon, SSLC percentage decides who even reaches the 1:25 or 1:10 interview list. Recheck your marks card total before you type it.
What Documents Are Required?
Keep scans ready before you open the form:
- Colour photograph and signature in the sizes above
- SSLC marks card (all posts except Typist’s PUC path)
- 2nd PUC / Class 12 / Diploma marks card (Typist)
- Senior Grade typewriting certificate in Kannada and English (Typist)
- Heavy Vehicle Driving Licence (Driver); HMV/LMV licence if claiming Process Server preference
- Caste/category certificate: Form-D (SC/ST), Form-E (Category-1), Form-F (2A/2B/3A/3B), valid on 03 October 2026
- Rural reservation certificate countersigned by Head Master and BEO, if claimed
- PwBD certificate from a District Medical Board in the prescribed format
- Ex-servicemen discharge/release certificate, if claimed
- Conduct certificates from two respectable persons and the last educational institution, issued within 6 months of application
- Serving government employees must declare service details and produce NOC if selected
Service Conditions
- Direct recruitment under the Karnataka Subordinate Courts (Clerical and Other Posts) (Recruitment) Rules, 1982, as amended in 2007 and 2021
- Two-year probation; departmental exams and the Kannada language exam must be passed during probation
- Coverage under the National Pension Scheme
- Posting in the Kodagu district judiciary
- Recruitment order subject to the High Court writ petitions named in the notifications
- False certificates can cancel selection and attract prosecution
What Happens After Selection?
- The court publishes a shortlist or calls you for the typing test, driving test or interview by website notice plus SMS/email.
- You attend the test/interview at your own cost and carry the printed application, fee receipt and originals.
- Document verification checks caste forms, licences, typing certificates and conduct certificates.
- Medical fitness and character verification follow before the appointment order.
- You join the allotted Kodagu court unit on two-year probation, start NPS contribution, and prepare for departmental and Kannada exams.
- Confirmation depends on satisfactory probation. Typical court-staff path later moves from Peon/Process Server toward higher Group-C seats by seniority and departmental tests, not by automatic promotion in year one.
Expect several months from the last date to joining, based on how other Karnataka district courts have run similar 2026 cycles.

FAQs – Kodagu District Court Recruitment 2026
Q1: What is the last date to apply for Kodagu District Court Typist Driver Peon 2026?
A: 03 October 2026, 11:59 PM. Fee payment closes the same night. No extension has been announced as of 03 September 2026. Submit a day early so SBI e-Pay lag does not reject the form.
Q2: What is the age limit for Kodagu District Court posts?
A: 18–40 years for General Merit as on 03 October 2026. Category 2A/2B/3A/3B get 43 years. SC/ST/Category-1 get 45 years. PwBD and widow relaxations are extra, as per each notification.
Q3: Is there an exam for Kodagu District Court Typist and Peon, or is it interview-based?
A: No common written exam. Typist faces a computer typing test plus a 5-mark interview. Driver faces a driving test plus an interview. Process Server and Peon are shortlisted on SSLC marks, then interviewed for 10 marks.
Q4: What is the salary of these court posts?
A: Starting basic is ₹27,000 for Peon/Attender, ₹31,775 for Process Server and ₹34,100 for Typist and Driver. Indicative in-hand in Kodagu is roughly ₹32,000–₹50,000 depending on the post, DA and deductions.
Q5: Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for this recruitment?
A: No. You must already hold the prescribed SSLC, PUC or diploma by 03 October 2026. Candidates who have only appeared and are waiting for results are not eligible.
Q6: Is Kodagu District Court Peon a permanent government job?
A: Yes, these are regular direct-recruitment posts in the district judiciary, with two-year probation and NPS. They are not contractual NHM-style seats. Confirmation follows successful probation and departmental exams.
Q7: Can candidates from other states apply for Kodagu District Court recruitment?
A: The notifications use Karnataka reservation forms (Form-D, E, F) and Kannada literacy for Peon. Other-state candidates should read the PDF for domicile/reservation rules before paying the fee. Kannada remains practical for daily court work.
Q8: Where will I be posted if selected?
A: In the Kodagu district judiciary, centred at Madikeri. This is a single-district unit, not an all-India transfer cadre. The exact court station is allotted after selection.
Q9: Is Karnataka domicile required for district court staff jobs?
A: Reservation certificates follow Karnataka formats issued by the Tahsildar. Rural reservation needs Head Master and BEO countersignature. Read the post-wise PDF before assuming an outside-state certificate will work.
Q10: Will there be a typing test for the Typist post?
A: Yes. You type a 15-minute passage on a computer. Maximum 100 marks; pass mark 50. Kannada and English Senior Grade qualification is required, and the keyboard layout is Kwenpu-Nudi.
Q11: What are the disadvantages of Kodagu district court jobs?
A: Worth knowing before you apply: only 39 seats, hill-district posting, NPS instead of old pension, and the appointment itself is tied to pending High Court writ petitions. Growth is slower than in a Bengaluru court complex.
Q12: What is the salary of a Peon in Karnataka district courts?
A: The Kodagu scale starts at ₹27,000 and goes up to ₹46,675 plus allowances. In hand in a small town is often around the low-to-mid ₹30,000s at joining, after NPS and other cuts.
Q13: Can I apply for more than one Kodagu court post?
A: Each post has a separate module. The instructions say only one application per candidate is valid and the last form is counted. Do not file duplicate forms for the same post. If you try two posts, follow only what that post’s PDF allows.
Final Checklist – Is This the Right Job for You?
- You meet the age and educational criteria as on 03 October 2026.

- You can arrange caste, licence, typing and conduct certificates before verification.
- You are prepared for the hardest stage: Nudi typing (Typist), driving test (Driver), or SSLC percentage shortlist plus interview (Process Server/Peon).
- You understand that posting stays within the Kodagu district judiciary.
