2. Post-Wise Vacancy & Salary Breakdown

Peon has the largest share of posts this year, followed by Process Server. If you are weighing which post to apply for, compare the vacancy count against the salary band below before deciding — a post with more openings usually means slightly better selection chances.
Post Name No. of Posts Salary (Per Month)
Typist 8 ₹27,000 – ₹67,600
Typist-Copyist 18 ₹34,100 – ₹67,600
Process Server 24 ₹31,775 – ₹61,300
Peon 36 ₹27,000 – ₹46,675
Total 86 —

Note: Typist-Copyist offers the highest starting salary among these four posts, while also needing the most specific skill (typing + computer knowledge) — so if you already have Senior Grade typing certificates, this post gives the best pay-to-qualification value in this notification.

3. Educational Qualification — Post-Wise

Post Qualification Needed
Typist As per the official notification — 12th/PUC along with the relevant Diploma qualification
Typist-Copyist II PUC or a 3-year Diploma in Commercial Practices (or equivalent); must have passed the Senior Grade Kannada and English Typewriting examination; basic computer knowledge required
Process Server SSLC or equivalent; a valid Driving Licence (HMV/LMV) is preferred since the job involves travel to deliver court documents
Peon SSLC or equivalent; should be able to read and write Kannada

If you already hold a driving licence, applying for Process Server gives you a real edge over other candidates, since the notification clearly prefers it for this post.

4. Age Limit (as on the Last Date of Application)

Category Minimum Age Maximum Age (with one-time 5-year relaxation)
General 18 years 35 + 5 = 40 years
Category 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B 18 years 38 + 5 = 43 years
SC, ST and Category-1 18 years 40 + 5 = 45 years

Why “+5”? As per Government Order No. ಸಿಆಸುಇ 262 ಸೇನೆನಿ 2025, dated 29.01.2026, the Karnataka Government has given a special one-time 5-year relaxation in the maximum age limit, applicable to all categories, for any direct recruitment notification issued up to 31.12.2027. This Bengaluru Rural District Court notification falls within that window, so every candidate gets this extra 5-year cushion automatically.

Separately, government servants, widows, ex-servicemen, and physically disabled candidates get additional age relaxation under the Karnataka Civil Services (General Recruitment) Rules, 1977.

5. Application Fee

Category Fee
General Category ₹200
Category 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B ₹100
SC, ST, Category-1 & Physically Disabled Exempted (Free)

The fee can only be paid online through State Bank Collect (SBI), using Net Banking, Credit Card, Debit Card, UPI ID, or QR Code. Demand Draft, Postal Order, Money Order, and Challan payments are not accepted. After paying, you must complete e-verification — if this step is skipped, your application gets rejected even though you paid the fee, so don’t close the payment page until e-verification is confirmed.

6. Selection Process — How You Get Selected

  1. Skill Test (Typist & Typist-Copyist posts only): A 15-minute Kannada and English dictation test is conducted on a computer with special typing software. You must score a minimum of 50 marks out of 100 in each language to qualify — scoring well in only one language is not enough.
  2. Interview: Candidates are called for interview in a 1:5 ratio (five candidates per vacancy), based on their combined percentage from the qualifying exam marks and the skill test. The interview itself carries only 5% weight of the maximum marks of the qualifying examination — so it’s a relatively small component, but it still matters for close calls.
  3. Final Selection List: Prepared by adding together the percentage of marks from your qualifying exam, skill test (if applicable), and interview.
  4. Document Verification: Final selection depends entirely on your original documents matching what you declared online.

If two candidates end up with the same final marks, the older candidate is given preference in the merit list.

⚠ After Selection — 2-Year Probation: Selected candidates are placed on probation for 2 years. During this period, you must clear the departmental examinations, the Kannada language examination, and the computer literacy examination — failing to clear these can affect confirmation in the post, so don’t treat selection as the finish line.

  • Applications submitted after the last date will be rejected outright — there is no late window.
  • Once the fee is paid, it is not refunded under any circumstance, even if you later find you are not eligible.

  • Rural quota candidates need Form-2 attested by the Block Education Officer, along with Form-1.
  • Government servants applying for this post must get a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their current department within 30 days of the selection list being published, or risk losing the offer.
  • Any candidate found trying to influence the selection process, directly or indirectly, will be disqualified immediately.
  • If documents or certificates are later found to be false during verification, your candidature will be cancelled and criminal proceedings may be initiated against you — so never submit anything you cannot fully support with originals.
  • If enough applications are not received for a reserved category, those vacancies may be filled from other categories as per rules.
  • This recruitment is subject to the final order of the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka in Writ Petition No. 200448/2025 c/w 17968/2025 and 3145/2023 — meaning the process could be affected by a pending court outcome, so keep checking for updates.
