GHC Kohima Stenographer Grade III Recruitment 2026: Overview
Gauhati High Court, Kohima Bench, Nagaland is recruiting Stenographer Grade-III staff for district courts in Peren, Phek and Mokokchung. The advertisement combines current openings with an anticipated opening at Phek, so not every position represents an immediately vacant seat. The offices named are the Chief Judicial Magistrate at Peren, the District and Sessions Judge at Phek, and the Principal District and Sessions Judge at Mokokchung.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Anticipated opening: The Phek position is tied to an expected vacancy. Keep that distinction in mind when considering the locations covered by the recruitment.
- Changes in availability: The court may increase or reduce the number of posts before final selection. The advertised distribution should therefore be read with that condition.
- Provisional candidature: Permission to take part does not mean the court has finally accepted your application. It can check your information again and cancel candidature if a condition is not met.
- Travel costs: You will need to meet your own travel and daily expenses for recruitment activities. The notice does not provide TA or DA.
- Working applicants: If you already work for a government department or PSU, inform your employer before applying. The notice also makes your eventual release from that employment relevant to joining.
- Official announcements: The court may use its website and notice boards to call applicants, instead of issuing an individual call letter. Keep checking the High Court and district-court announcements for updates relevant to your application.
- Your application details: You are responsible for the information entered in the form. An incomplete application can be rejected, and the court will not take responsibility for mistakes made while filling it.
- Conduct: Attempts to influence the recruitment, directly or through another person, can lead to rejection.
