HP High Court Clerk Admit Card 2026: Exam 29 Nov

The Clerk screening test is a two hour paper with 100 objective questions, and the hall ticket for it is now live. The HP High Court Clerk Admit Card 2026 is out on the court's recruitment portal, hphcrecruitment.in. The exam for Clerk (District Judiciary) is on Sunday, 29 November 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

The post carries 141 vacancies under Advertisement No. DJ-Advt./2026(1), dated 5 August 2026.

Clerk is the biggest post in this drive. The High Court advertised 388 District Judiciary posts in August, and 141 of them are Clerk. Applications ran from 10 August to 10 September 2026 and are closed, so the hall ticket belongs only to candidates who already applied. If that is you, the download takes two minutes, and the only thing to get right is picking the Clerk line in the dropdown instead of the Process Server line.

HP High Court Clerk Admit Card 2026 at a glance

The download page asks for your mobile number, not a password

This is the detail most job sites get wrong, so it is worth stating plainly. The admit card page on the official portal does not ask for a registration number or a password. It shows a dropdown to pick the advertisement, then a mobile number field, then a reCAPTCHA checkbox and a submit button. Pick "Clerk (District Judiciary)-DJ-Advt./2026(1)", enter the mobile number you registered with, tick the box and submit.

The same dropdown also lists "Process Server (District Judiciary)-DJ-Advt./2026(1)". That is the other post under the same advertisement, and its hall ticket is a separate download for a different exam on 22 November. Pick the Clerk line, not the Process Server line, or you will open the wrong hall ticket.

If the page loads slowly, wait for it. The portal shows a "Please wait" message while it loads, and the dropdown appears after that. Do not keep refreshing and do not trust any other website that claims to host the admit card. The hall ticket lives only on hphcrecruitment.in, and the court has not published a direct PDF link for it.

How to download the hall ticket

Open hphcrecruitment.in and go to the Admit Card section. The direct page is hphcrecruitment.in/auth/get-admit-card. Select "Clerk (District Judiciary)-DJ-Advt./2026(1)" from the advertisement dropdown, enter your registered mobile number, tick the "I am not a robot" box and submit.

Your hall ticket opens on screen. Download the PDF and print it on A4 paper. Check four things the moment it opens.

Your name and roll number, your examination centre with its full address, the date and time of the test, and the photograph and signature block. The hall ticket carries a space for a passport size photograph, and the court asks you to paste a recent self attested photograph there before the exam.

If any detail is wrong, do not wait for exam morning. The instructions on the hall ticket say to bring discrepancies to the notice of the High Court without loss of time, through email at [email protected].

What the hall ticket itself says about exam day

The HP High Court Clerk exam is a screening test, not the final selection. It runs for two hours, 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Sunday, 29 November 2026. The question booklet carries 100 objective type multiple choice questions, and the paper is in English.

Report at the venue at least half an hour before the test begins, along with a valid photo ID such as Aadhaar, driving licence or voter ID, plus writing material and cardboard. The hall ticket, with the self attested photograph pasted on it, has to be handed over to the invigilator when the test starts. No TA or DA is paid for appearing in the test. Candidates should also read the separate instructions to candidates uploaded on the High Court website, which the hall ticket refers to.

One more thing the hall ticket makes clear: the candidature is provisional at this stage, and the court has not published any later stage dates with this admit card. The screening test is the step in front of you. Anything after it will come through a separate notice.

Where this recruitment stands

The advertisement came out on 5 August 2026 for 388 posts across the District Judiciary, and online applications ran from 10 August to 10 September 2026. That window is closed, so nobody can apply now. Clerk is the largest single category in the drive at 141 posts, split into 84 regular and 57 contractual posts, and the post sits in Pay Level 03 at Rs 20,200 to 64,000. The qualification is graduation from a recognised university with basic computer knowledge.

The Process Server test under the same advertisement is a week earlier, on 22 November, and its admit card is already out. The HP High Court Process Server admit card covers that exam, which runs for one hour from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

Two other admit cards opened this week. The GSSSB MPHW admit card is out for exams on 18 and 19 November, and the KPSC KAS admit card is live for the prelims on 15 November.

Download the hall ticket today and check the centre address while you still have time to plan the trip. The exam is three weeks away, and the only thing you still control is getting the card in hand while the link is open.
