In short: you need a law degree and regular government, court or tribunal service at the right pay level, and your own office has to forward your form. A fresh law graduate or a private lawyer cannot apply. The circular gives no age relaxation for any category.
Who Should Apply
- This is a transfer-type job, not a fresh hire. You must already be a regular employee of a government department, court or tribunal, and you would go to NGT for about three years.
- Each post has a fixed place: one Deputy Registrar in Chennai, one in Bhopal and one Assistant Registrar in Pune. The circular does not say you can choose your city, so apply for the post whose place suits you.
- If you are an NGT officer in the direct line of promotion to these posts, you are not eligible on deputation.
- Your department has to forward your application with five years of ACRs (Annual Confidential Reports, the yearly performance reports), a vigilance clearance and an integrity certificate. Give your office enough time to prepare them before 16.11.2026.
Selection Process
| Stage | Details |
|---|---|
| Application | Send the filled application form, with documents, through the proper channel (your own department) to the Registrar General, NGT |
| Screening and selection | The circular does not describe a written test, interview or scoring method |
| Final decision | The Tribunal can fill the posts or choose not to go ahead, and does not have to give a reason |
Salary and Benefits

| Terms of deputation | The general deputation rules in DoPT OM No. 6/8/2009-Estt. (Pay-II) dated 17.06.2010, as amended, apply. The circular does not list the allowances. |

- Leaving the email id blank or the form unsigned. Both are compulsory, and incomplete forms are rejected without notice.
