Jind District Court Stenographer Recruitment 2026: 12 Grade-III Posts, Eligibility, Pay and Offline Application

How Many Vacancies are in Jind District Court Stenographer Recruitment 2026?
There is only one post, so the full category split below is for Stenographer Grade-III. The notification prints these columns together, and they add up to 12.
| Category | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| General | 4 |

| SC — OSC | 1 |
| BC (A) | 2 |

In Haryana, the SC quota is divided into DSC (Deprived Scheduled Castes) and OSC (Other Scheduled Castes), and the BC quota into BC (A) and BC (B). Apply under the exact sub-category written on your certificate, because the seat you compete for depends on it.
Two points here matter for your planning. First, the number of vacancies may be increased or decreased if courts are created or withdrawn during the selection process, and no separate communication will be made about it. Second, if candidates from a reserved category are not available, those seats may be filled from unreserved category candidates, subject to availability, under Rule 7 of the Haryana Subordinate Court Establishment (Recruitment and General Conditions of Service) Rules, 1997.
Since the job is adhoc, plan for it to end after six months, or earlier if the High Court makes regular appointments.

The notification does not print category-wise relaxation years. It only says upper age relaxation will follow the instructions of the Haryana Government or the Punjab & Haryana High Court.

| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Monthly Pay | ₹25,500 (consolidated) |
| Pay Basis | Initial pay in FPL-4 |
| Future Revision | At such revised rate as the Government of Haryana may prescribe from time to time |
This is a consolidated amount. That means you get one fixed monthly figure, not a regular pay scale with separate allowances listed. The notification does not mention any other allowances, so plan your budget on ₹25,500 a month. If Haryana revises the rate during your term, the revised rate will apply.
What is the Selection Process for Jind District Court Stenographer 2026?

The shorthand test decides your rank, because the computer test is only qualifying. Still, you must pass the computer test, or your shorthand score will not help you. Practise English dictation at 80 words per minute daily, and type out your notes on a computer to build transcription speed. Our preparation strategy guides can help you plan.
The date, time and place of the Shorthand Test and Computer Proficiency Test will be uploaded only on the Jind court website. No separate letter or call will be sent, so check the website regularly.
