Eligibility & selection
Eligibility is an LLB degree (or final-year law student) with an age of 20–32 years as on 7 February 2026. Selection is through a computer-based MCQ test, a written/descriptive test and an interview. Selected candidates are placed on a panel and assigned to judges as Law Clerks-cum-Research Associates for a contractual term (typically one year) — it is a stepping-stone role, not a permanent government post.
