1. Introduction - Why This Delhi Job Shows Up on MP Aspirants’ Radar

If you are a Madhya Pradesh government job aspirant, chances are you have been through MPPSC prelim cycles, MPESB (PEB) exams, or repeated contract renewals under departments like Health, Women & Child Development, or Education.

In that context, a regular Central Government-style court job like Delhi High Court Junior Judicial Assistant (JJA) naturally attracts attention - especially when MP notifications are slow or contractual-heavy.

But here is the straight truth:
This recruitment is not designed with MP aspirants in mind.
Some can still benefit - many should clearly avoid it.

This article explains who should apply, who should not, and why, from an MP ecosystem perspective.

3. Post-Wise Eligibility - What It Means in Reality

“Any Graduate” - Sounds Easy, But It Isn’t

In MP recruitments, Any Graduate often means:

  • Hindi medium exams
  • GK-heavy papers
  • State-focused syllabus
  • Minimal English writing

Here, it is the opposite.

This job demands strong English competence, not just basic graduation:

  • English comprehension dominates Prelims
  • Essay + letter + translation in Mains
  • Typing test is English-only
  • Interview evaluates articulation, not rote memory

Who fits naturally:

  • English-medium graduates
  • Candidates with SSC/Banking/Clerical exam background
  • Typists already comfortable at 35+ WPM in English

Who struggles badly:

  • MPPSC GS-only candidates
  • Hindi-medium graduates without English writing practice
  • Candidates assuming “typing can be managed later”

4. MP-Specific Eligibility & Reservation Reality

No MP Domicile Advantage - Zero

This is a Delhi High Court recruitment:

  • MP domicile gives no preference
  • MP SC/ST/OBC certificates are not valid
  • OBC must be Delhi NCT OBC-NCL
  • EWS must be issued as per Central format

This is where most MP candidates fail.

If you belong to OBC in MP but do not have Delhi OBC-NCL, you are treated as General.

Many MP aspirants pay the fee first and realise this later - costly mistake.

Contractual Workers in MP - No Special Weightage

If you are:

  • NHM contractual staff
  • Samvida Shikshak
  • Data Entry Operator on contract
  • Outsourced clerk in district office

None of that gives any advantage here.
No experience marks. No preference.

5. How to Apply - MP Candidates’ Common Errors

Step-by-Step (What Matters)

  1. Register on Delhi High Court portal only
  2. Fill personal details exactly as in 10th marksheet
  3. Upload:
    • Recent photo (strict size rules)
    • Clear signature (not capital letters)
    • Thumb impression
  4. Choose category very carefully
  5. Pay fee (non-refundable)

MP-Specific Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using MP OBC certificate → application rejected later
  • Assuming correction window fixes category mistakes → it doesn’t
  • Ignoring typing test thinking “it’s qualifying” → many fail here
  • Filling form in last 2 days → server + payment issues are common

6. Salary, Posting & Career Reality (No Illusions)

Salary Reality

  • Level 6 means ₹35-40k in-hand approx (initial)
  • Allowances are central, stable, predictable

Posting Reality

  • Posting is only in Delhi
  • No home-state posting like MP departments
  • High cost of living compared to MP districts

Workload Reality

  • Court work = deadlines, files, urgency
  • Overtime and holiday duty is normal
  • Not a relaxed desk job

Career Growth

  • Promotions exist but slow
  • Better stability than MP contractual posts
  • Less power/status compared to MPPSC Class-II officers

7. Preparation Strategy - MP Aspirants Must Rewire Their Approach

This Is NOT MPPSC / MPESB Style

MP ExamsThis Exam
Hindi + MP GK heavyEnglish dominant
Objective GS focusWriting + language
State polityIndian judiciary basics
MemorisationExpression + accuracy

Realistic Prep Path (If You Apply)

  • Daily English reading (editorials, judgments summaries)
  • Essay writing practice (timed)
  • Grammar + translation drills
  • Typing practice from day one
  • Mock tests with negative marking awareness

If your background is only MP GS, 3-4 months minimum are needed just to become competitive.

8. Pros & Cons - Brutally Honest

Pros

  • Permanent, non-contractual job
  • Central pay scale (better than MP samvida)
  • Judicial environment exposure
  • Transparent selection process

Cons

  • No MP domicile benefit
  • English-heavy (big barrier)
  • High competition from Delhi & metro candidates
  • Relocation cost + adjustment
  • Not aligned with MPPSC long-term track

9. Applicant Checklist (Before You Click Apply)

✔ Graduate degree completed before 23-02-2026
✔ Comfortable writing essays in English
✔ English typing speed already near 35 WPM
✔ Correct category certificate (Delhi / Central)
✔ Willing to relocate permanently to Delhi
✖ Applying “just to try” without prep
✖ Depending on MP reservation benefits

10. Final Advice - Apply or Skip?

Apply if:

  • You are English-medium
  • You already prepare for SSC/Bank/Clerk exams
  • You want stability over MP contractual uncertainty
  • You can relocate without financial stress

Skip if:

  • You are MPPSC GS-focused
  • You rely on MP domicile or MP OBC
  • You struggle with English writing
  • You are already deep into MP State Services prep

For many MP aspirants, waiting for a suitable MPESB or MPPSC notification may be wiser than diverting effort here.
