Quick Overview – Nabarangpur District Court Junior Clerk 2026

Category snapshot for the judgeship: UR 7, ST 7, SC 1. Post-wise reserved columns in the scanned advertisement should be rechecked on the PDF before you mark category on Form-A.

Eligibility – Education, Age & Language

Common for all three posts: Indian citizen; +3 examination or equivalent from a recognised university; Diploma in Computer Application from a recognised institute; ability to speak, read and write Odia and a pass in Odia equivalent to M.E. standard; good character; sound health and physique, free from organic defects or bodily infirmity; not more than one living spouse if married.

If your marksheet shows grades instead of percentage, enclose a conversion certificate. Extra-optional marks must be excluded when you fill HSC, +2 and +3 marks on Form-A.

Use our CGPA to Percentage Calculator only as an estimate. The conversion method in your university certificate prevails.

What Is the Age Limit?

Age is reckoned as on 21 September 2026. Minimum 18 years. Maximum 42 years for unreserved candidates.

Examples:

✅ A 41-year-old UR candidate born on 22 September 1985 — eligible (within the 42-year limit as on 21 September 2026).

❌ A 43-year-old UR candidate born on 20 September 1983 — not eligible (exceeds maximum age by 1 year).

Use our Age Eligibility Calculator to check instantly.

What Is the Junior Clerk Salary in Odisha?

Pay is under ORSP Rules, 2017, with DA and other allowances admissible to Odisha State Government employees.

Claim + proof: in-hand is an estimate using basic + DA around 55% of basic + 10% HRA for a Z-class station such as Nabarangpur + transport, minus NPS (~10% of basic + DA) and small deductions. Actual DA is the Odisha rate in force on joining.

Use the 7th CPC Salary Calculator for a Level-wise sketch. Odisha ORSP levels track the same matrix; State DA and HRA orders prevail.

Selected staff also get usual State allowances. Pension / NPS terms follow Odisha Government service rules applicable to District Court Group-C staff at the time of joining.

What Is the Application Fee?

No examination fee is required from any category. Do not attach a DD or challan.

You still need two self-addressed envelopes, each stamped for ₹60, for Registered / Speed Post letters from the Court.

How to Apply?

Application is offline only. There is no online portal.

1. Download Form-A from the Nabarangpur District Court Junior Clerk Steno Typist 2026 notification PDF (the form is annexed).
2. Fill Form-A in your own handwriting. Sign it. Write the post in underlined CAPITAL letters on the envelope.
3. If you apply for more than one post, send a separate form and a separate envelope for each post. On each Form-A, also write the other post(s) you have applied for.
4. Enclose self-attested copies listed in the Documents section, plus two original character certificates, three photographs (one pasted), two ₹60-stamped envelopes, and original self-declarations.
5. Government servants must apply through proper channel with NOC.
6. Deliver by hand during office hours or send by Speed Post / Registered Post so that it reaches:

Office of the District Judge, Nabarangpur, Odisha, PIN-764059

on or before 21 September 2026, 5:00 PM.

7. Watch nabarangpur.dcourts.gov.in for exam dates. Written tests for all posts in this advertisement will be held on the same day. If you applied for two posts, you can sit only one paper.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Sending one form for Clerk and Typist together. Separate applications are mandatory.
2. Counting extra-optional marks in HSC / +2 / +3. The advertisement requires actual marks excluding extra-optional papers.
3. Attaching an OBC certificate instead of a valid Odisha SEBC certificate issued within three years of the closing date.
4. Using a married woman’s caste certificate that reads “wife of …”. The Court accepts only “daughter of …” certificates by birth.
5. Missing the two ₹60-stamped envelopes or submitting unsigned / wrong-format applications. Those are rejected on scrutiny.

How Are Junior Clerks and Stenographers Selected?

Selection is a chain of stages, not a single mark list. Career merit only shortlists you for the written test.

1. Career merit lists by category from HSC, +2 and +3 marks (extra-optional excluded), in descending order.
2. From each list, candidates up to 20 times the vacancies in that category are called for the written test.
3. Written test (post-wise papers below).
4. Computer Science Test (Practical) and, for Steno / Typist, shorthand or typing skill test.
5. Viva-voce.
6. Document check of originals at viva-voce. Final appointment is subject to W.P.(C) No. 1273/2014.

No TA/DA is paid for any stage.

Exam Pattern – Junior Clerk-cum-Copyist

You need 35% in each written paper to be called for the computer practical (ratio under Rule-7(3)). Practical cut-off: 50% for UR and other categories, 40% for SC/ST. Qualifiers go to viva voce.

English syllabus (100 marks): Essay 30, letter/application 20, Odia-to-English 15, English-to-Odia 15, précis 20.

Arithmetic covers vulgar fractions, decimals, HCF/LCM, interest, percentages, profit and loss, mixtures, partnership, averages, rates and taxes, insurance, square and cubic measures, time and work, time and distance.

General Knowledge covers current events and everyday observation expected of an educated person.

Computer practical tests: paragraph formatting, tables, print/save, file transfer, browsing, email, pen drive use and basic accounting programmes.

Exam Pattern – Stenographer Grade-III

35% in English written is needed to reach the skill test. Skill-test cut-off: 55% for UR and other categories, 50% for SC/ST. Computer practical cut-off: 50% (UR/others) and 40% (SC/ST).

Skill test: 400 English words dictated in 5 minutes; reproduce from shorthand on computer in 10 minutes.

Exam Pattern – Junior Typist

Same 35% English gate. Typing cut-off: 55% UR/others, 50% SC/ST. Computer practical: 50% / 40%. Passage: 400 English words to be typed in 10 minutes.

Viva-voce tests alertness, general outlook and potential for court work.

Why Does Nabarangpur District Court Matter?

The District and Sessions Court, Nabarangpur is the principal trial court for this south-western Odisha district. Group-C staff keep cause lists, copy applications, depositions and judgments moving.

Nabarangpur is a scheduled-area district with a large tribal population. Court work here mixes ordinary civil and criminal files with cases that travel in from block headquarters. Staff sit in the judgeship offices, not in Bhubaneswar.

Related reading: Odisha government jobs and judiciary sector openings.

Candidates search this court because a Level-4 or Level-7 regular post in the judgeship is locally respected and follows State pay. They also search neighbouring Koraput and Rayagada court staff notices in the same season.

The honest limit is geography and litigation risk. Posting is within the Nabarangpur judgeship. The advertisement itself flags W.P.(C) No. 1273/2014. If you want a coastal city court or a High Court ministerial cadre, this is the wrong notice.

The SahisarkariJobs.in Analyst’s Take

This notice sits in the same 2026 Odisha judgeship wave as Koraput District Court Junior Clerk-cum-Copyist (3 posts, offline, last date 10 September 2026) and earlier Rayagada, Puri, Ganjam and Jharsuguda staff drives. All use the 2008 Rules, Form-A and career-merit shortlisting. Nabarangpur is the larger of the two current Koraput-range options, with 10 clerk seats instead of 3.

Best fit: Graduates who already have DCA, can write Odia at M.E. standard, and can live in Nabarangpur. Stenographers with a live 80/40 speed have a thinner field (3 seats) but a Level-7 start.

Who should skip: Candidates who cannot produce Odia (M.E.) proof, SEBC holders with a certificate older than three years, and anyone expecting an online form or a Bhubaneswar posting. Also skip if you will not sit a same-day written paper and a later skill test.

Practical tip: Decide one post before you post the envelope. Written exams for Clerk, Steno and Typist are on the same day, so a dual application does not give you two written shots. Put extra-optional marks out of the career total and pack the two ₹60 envelopes; those two errors reject more Form-A packets than weak English essays.

What Documents Are Required for Odisha District Court Jobs?

Submit self-attested copies with Form-A unless noted as original.

• HSC or equivalent certificate and marksheet (age + marks)
• +2 or equivalent certificate and marksheet
• +3 certificate and marksheet
• DCA certificate from a recognised institute
• Odia pass at least up to M.E. standard
• Shorthand and typewriting certificate (Stenographer Grade-III only)
• English typewriting course certificate (Junior Typist only)
• Two original character certificates from two different Gazetted Officers / Medical Practitioners / Sarpanch (name and designation required)
• Three recent self-signed passport photos (one affixed on Form-A)
• Two self-addressed envelopes stamped ₹60 each
• SC / ST / SEBC caste certificate of Odisha by birth; SEBC not older than 3 years; women: “daughter of …” only
• PwBD disability certificate with percentage, if claimed
• Sports identity card from Director of Sports, Odisha, if claimed
• Ex-Serviceman discharge certificate plus affidavit that no civil post was taken after military service, where applicable
• Employment Exchange registration card, if any
• NOC for government servants
• Valid mobile number and email on Form-A
• Self-declaration of no criminal antecedents
• Self-declaration of not more than one living spouse, if married
• Conversion certificate if grades were awarded instead of percentage

Document alert: write “Submitted by me”, full signature and date on every copy. Unsigned copies can sink the file. Keep originals for viva-voce; do not post them except the items the advertisement lists as original.

Service Conditions

Posts are Group-C in the Nabarangpur judgeship on ORSP pay with State DA and allowances. Other service conditions follow the 2008 Rules as amended up to 01 August 2026.

The District Judge-cum-Chairman, District Recruitment Committee, Nabarangpur may cancel the advertisement, the process or any application without prior notice. The Judge’s decision on the examination result is final as per Para-5 of Appendix-A of the Rules.

What Happens After Selection?

1. Eligible candidates receive the written-exam intimation by Registered Post and on the District Court website.
2. After the written and skill/computer stages, shortlisted names are called for viva-voce with original certificates.
3. Merit is drawn from the prescribed stages. Offer of appointment follows Committee approval and vacancy position.
4. Joining is in the Nabarangpur judgeship. Place of posting within the judgeship is official, not the candidate’s choice.
5. Service then runs under Odisha judicial staff rules, including probation/confirmation as those rules provide.
6. Appointment remains subject to W.P.(C) No. 1273/2014. A later High Court order can affect continuity.

Typical Odisha district-court cycles take several months from last date to joining. Plan 2026–27 around that wait.

Career line after joining is the usual Group-C court ladder (clerk/typist/steno streams) by seniority and departmental process. That path is slower than High Court ministerial recruitment.

Q5: Can final-year students or result-awaited candidates apply for Nabarangpur District Court 2026?

A: No. You must have passed +3 or equivalent and hold DCA before you apply. Form-A asks for year of passing and marks. Produce certificates at viva voce. The advertisement does not open a result-awaited window.

Q6: Is Nabarangpur District Court Junior Clerk a permanent government job?

A: Yes, these are regular Group-C posts in the judgeship on ORSP pay. They are not contractual. Appointment is still subject to W.P.(C) No. 1273/2014 pending before the Orissa High Court.

Q7: Can candidates from other states apply for this recruitment?

A: Yes, if you are an Indian citizen, meet +3 + DCA, and have passed Odia equivalent to M.E. standard. Caste reservation for SC/ST/SEBC is for Odisha-by-birth certificates. Other-state OBC papers are not accepted as SEBC.

Q8: Where will I be posted if selected?

A: In the judgeship of Nabarangpur, Odisha. The advertisement does not offer statewide or High Court posting. Expect work at the District Court complex and linked stations in the district.

Q9: Is Odisha domicile required for District Court clerk posts?

A: The advertisement demands Indian citizenship and Odia up to M.E. standard, not a separate domicile line. In practice, Odia proof is the hard filter. Reserved-category benefit needs an Odisha-by-birth caste certificate.

Q11: What are the disadvantages of this recruitment?

A: Worth knowing before you apply: Nabarangpur is a remote scheduled-area posting, seats are only 15, and the High Court writ can still affect appointments. Same-day written papers also stop you from sitting Clerk and Steno on one date.

Q12: What is the salary of a junior clerk in Odisha district courts?

A: Odisha judgeships pay Junior Clerk-cum-Copyist in Level-4 (₹19,900–₹63,200) under ORSP 2017. Stenographer Grade-III is Level-7. In-hand in a Z-class town is typically around ₹30,000-plus after DA, 10% HRA and NPS, not metro Level-4 money.

Q13: Can I apply to two Odisha district court staff drives at once?

A: Yes, Koraput and Nabarangpur are separate judgeships with separate Form-A addresses and dates. Each needs its own packet. Do not assume one envelope covers both courts. Check each last date; Koraput’s clerk window is earlier.
