Delhi High Court HJS Mains Admit Card 2026 is now available for download. The High Court of Delhi has issued an official notice titled “Download Admit Card for Delhi Higher Judicial Service Mains Examination (Written) – 2026”, and the admit card portal is live. The Mains (Written) examination will now be held on 10 and 11 October 2026 — revised from the original 12 and 13 September 2026 dates.
If you cleared the HJS Preliminary examination, this is the stage that decides whether you get called for the viva-voce. With only five days left for the first paper, download your hall ticket today and verify every detail on it — do not wait for the last day, when portal congestion is at its worst.

Why the Exam Dates Changed — The BRICS Summit Postponement
This is the one detail many candidates missed in the notice chain. The High Court’s notice dated 31 August 2026 rescheduled the Mains papers because of likely traffic advisories and movement restrictions connected with the 18th BRICS Summit, held at Bharat Mandapam on the original examination dates.
| Event | Earlier Date | Revised Date |
|---|---|---|
| HJS Mains — Paper day 1 | 12 September 2026 | 10 October 2026 |
| HJS Mains — Paper day 2 | 13 September 2026 | 11 October 2026 |
| Postponement notice issued | 31 August 2026 | |
| Mains admit card released | 05 October 2026 | |
The takeaway: your old admit card (if one was issued for the September schedule) will not carry the right dates. Download the fresh hall ticket from the portal link in the official notice and cross-check the date printed on it.
Where HJS Fits — The Three-Stage Selection Process
The Delhi Higher Judicial Service is the direct-recruitment route to the District Judiciary. As per the official recruitment notification, the examination has three successive stages:
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| 1. Preliminary Examination | Screening stage — already completed; only qualifiers reach the Mains |
| 2. Mains Examination (Written) | 10 & 11 October 2026 — this is the current stage |
| 3. Viva-voce | Personal interview for candidates selected through the Mains written examination; date announced later |
Note that the Mains written papers are used specifically to shortlist candidates for the viva-voce. There is no separate cut-off announcement on the hall ticket — the admit card only carries your examination details.
How to Download the Delhi HJS Mains Admit Card 2026
Follow these steps exactly as laid out in the High Court’s notice:
- Open the official admit card portal from the Important Links section below (this is the direct URL given in the High Court’s notice).
- Enter the login details requested on the portal. (The notice provides the direct portal link but does not spell out the login fields, so keep your application/registration credentials handy.)
- Open your Mains admit card and check the information shown on it.
- Download and save a copy — take at least one clear printout on A4 paper.
- Your name, photograph and signature match your application records.
- The exam date printed is 10 or 11 October 2026, not the old September dates.
- Reporting time and exam centre address — plan your route to the centre in advance, especially with Delhi’s October traffic.
- Roll number and any application/registration number shown.
- The list of permitted and prohibited items on the instructions page — judicial exams are strict about this.
Common mistake to avoid: do not assume you will receive an SMS or email alert. The High Court’s notice is the trigger — download the admit card yourself from the portal. With the exam only days away, treat this as today’s task, not tomorrow’s.
