Okay. So, I got this question request. And I will try to cover answers to other questions as well through this answer only.
It was in the year 2017, if I’m able to recall correctly. I was pursuing NIELIT ‘O’ level Course (formerly DOEACC).
I had enrolled myself in a 6 month crash course because I wanted to get
a formal computer qualification in my name. Won’t recommend anybody to
get into the crash course. The diploma is of 1 year duration and it took
me real efforts to complete the entire syllabus within 6 months.
I got to know about the vacancy of JUNIOR COURT ASSISTANT
in The Supreme Court of India through one of my batchmates in the
Institute. The notification wasn’t advertised on many platforms. The
important details were as follows:
No. Of Vacancies- 56 (tentative)
Fee- 300/-
Qualification- Graduate in any field with 35 wpm typing speed.
I was reluctant to apply. You ask why? Because I had appeared for IBPS Bank PO and SBI PO
exam in 2016 while I was doing M.A in English. Could clear IBPS
preliminary exam with flying colours but didn’t clear the overall cutoff
in Mains. I wasn’t disappointed at all because I hadn’t prepared much.
But had to pay 600 each, which equals 1200, for those two examinations
and there were sufficient no. of vacancies as well.
But with SCI, the vacancies were so less and my typing speed wasn’t good at all. That is why the reluctance. When
you’re unemployed, you obviously hesitate to frequently take money from
your parents. At least, I used to think again and again before applying
for any such vacancy. So, I discussed it with my father and he promptly
agreed to finance the exam fees. He has always been supportive.
- STAGE I : PRELIMINARY MCQ EXAM. It had TWO PARTS.
Part I - The usual division into 4 sections. English, Quant., Reasoning and General Knowledge.
Part II - Computer knowledge
Had to clear cutoffs of both the part separately to qualify for the next stage.
2. STAGE II : TYPING TEST
3% mistakes were allowed with 35 wpm speed. More than 80% of the candidates were screened out at this stage.
3. STAGE III : DESCRIPTIVE TEST
Essay, precis, letter writing.
4. STAGE IV : INTERVIEW
It
was my LIFE’S FIRST JOB INTERVIEW. The feeling is inexplicable. I came
out a confident person, regardless the knowledge of the final result.
Me, after I came out of the interview room (badly taken pictures make for the best of memories)
So,
this was the entire screening process which took around 2 years to
complete. I completed a masters degree, ‘O’ level and PGDT, meanwhile.
The final result came out on 17th January, 2019. I
am a General candidate. Don’t take pride in working a little harder
than others. Everyone does their share of hardwork. I don’t wish to
undermine anybody’s efforts based on their category. I secured rank 12 out of 143 final selected candidates.
The
regular process followed. Document verification, medical check up.
After all the formalities, the first batch of around 15–17 of us finally
joined on 25th January, 2019. A panel valid for a year was made. Others
were called later on.
About the ones asking how am I in a Court if I am not a lawyer,
well every court has its own staff other than lawyers and judges.
Supreme Court has its Registry which I am a part of. Will have to get an
LLB for better promotion scope.
Hope I managed to clear as many doubts as possible. Would be glad to address any other questions.
BEST WISHES.
