Who benefits most from this recruitment?
This drive suits young candidates with real, hands-on computer hardware experience. A degree alone is not enough — the notification makes at least 2 years of hardware troubleshooting experience mandatory. Candidates who have already worked in computer repair, system maintenance or IT support are the best fit.
Selected candidates will work as System Assistants in Kerala’s district courts, handling computer systems, hardware and network-related work. This is a contract-basis appointment, not a permanent government job.
What is the educational qualification?
Candidates must hold any one of these qualifications:
- A government-approved 3-year Diploma in Computer or Electronics, or
- B.Sc (Computer Science), or
- BCA, or a higher qualification.
Plus at least 2 years of hardware troubleshooting experience. Keep your experience certificates ready when you apply.
What about the age limit and selection process?
Age limit: candidates must have been born on or after 02/01/1985. The notification states no separate age relaxation.
Selection process: selection is by screening/shortlisting of applications followed by an interview — there is no written exam. The High Court reserves the right to change the mode of selection.
Application fee: no application fee is charged — applying is completely free.
Tenure: the contract is initially for 2 years, extendable on performance and requirement. It is a temporary appointment with no claim for regularisation. The rank list stays valid for 2 years.
Candidates must state the district they prefer to work in; allotment follows the rank list and the High Court’s decision. Qualification and experience must have been acquired on or before the notification date (10 November 2026). Desired experience: work on the eCourts project in Kerala, or one year on a Linux-based platform.

How is this different from the Kerala High Court Assistant post?
Note — this is not the Kerala High Court Assistant post (Notification 05/2024), which has an OMR test, descriptive test and interview. This post covers only System Assistant, 90 posts, Rec. No. 24/2026. Some websites mention 138 posts — that combines System Assistant (90) with a separate Research Assistant recruitment; only the 90 System Assistant posts are covered here.
