Balangir Court Group-D Jobs 2026: Class 8 Pass, Odisha, Offline Form
Good news for Class 8 pass candidates in western Odisha. The Office of the District Judge, Balangir has invited applications for 30 Group-D posts on a daily-wage, purely temporary basis in the courts of the Balangir Judgeship. This is not a regular government post, so read the conditions below before you decide. The engagement can end without notice, and it gives no claim to a permanent job. If you want work near home and can accept that, it is worth a serious look.
There is no online form here. You must fill the Annexure-A form by hand and send it by Speed Post so that it reaches the Registrar by 18 November 2026, 5:00 PM. Many candidates lose a chance not because they are ineligible, but because the envelope reaches late or a document is missing. This guide lists every condition and document in the notification so you can avoid that. Read it fully, then check the latest news on GovtJobsAlert.in and other Odisha government jobs.
