How to Apply

Eligible candidates must apply online through the Hassan District Court’s recruitment portal. No offline or physical applications will be accepted.

  1. Visit the online recruitment portal at hassan.dcourts.gov.in/Judges/online-recruitment/.
  2. Read all on-screen instructions carefully before starting the form. Incomplete or incorrect applications will be rejected.
  3. Fill in all required details, including a valid mobile number and email address.
  4. Upload the photograph and signature scans in the specifications listed under Documents to attach.
  5. Pay the application fee, if applicable, through SBI Collect using net banking, credit card, debit card or UPI.
  6. Download and keep a copy of the filled application and fee receipt. It must be produced at the qualifying stage or interview.
Deadline trap: the online application itself must be submitted by 17 September 2026, 11:59 PM. The 19 September 2026 date is only for candidates paying the fee separately by bank challan at an SBI branch — it is not an extension of the application deadline.

Selection is by a merit list based on SSLC marks, with candidates called for interview in a 1:10 ratio to the number of posts, followed by an interview assessing proficiency and general knowledge (10 marks). There is no written examination.
