About the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB)

The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board is an important recruitment organization functioning under the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi. It was established through a government resolution dated 4 October 1996, with the objective of creating a centralized, transparent and merit-based recruitment mechanism for various government departments and local bodies in Delhi.

Before DSSSB was established, different departments and organizations followed separate recruitment procedures. This created administrative difficulties and resulted in multiple recruitment authorities handling similar categories of government positions.

To improve the recruitment system, the Delhi Government established DSSSB as an independent selection board responsible primarily for recruiting candidates to Group B (Non-Gazetted) and Group C positions.

The Board conducts examinations and other selection procedures to identify qualified candidates for various technical and non-technical government positions.

Major responsibilities of DSSSB

The Board performs several important recruitment-related functions:

• Conducting competitive written examinations for notified government vacancies.
• Recruiting candidates for technical and non-technical positions.
• Coordinating recruitment for Delhi Government departments and local bodies.
• Preparing examination schedules and publishing admit cards.
• Releasing answer keys and providing an objection mechanism.
• Preparing merit lists and recommending eligible candidates.
• Coordinating document verification and e-dossier processes.

DSSSB recruitment covers a wide range of departments, including education, municipal administration, infrastructure, public services and other government organizations.

Organizations covered under this recruitment

The present recruitment drive includes vacancies in:

1. New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC).
2. Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).
3. Delhi Transco Limited.
4. Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB).
5. Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board.
6. Directorate of Education.
7. Department of Trade and Taxes.
8. Directorate of Higher Education.
9. Weights and Measures Department.
10. Principal Accounts Office.
11. Land and Building Department.
12. Office of the Chief Electoral Officer.

Candidates should understand that DSSSB conducts the recruitment examination, whereas the concerned user departments handle the eventual appointment and service-related matters.

Official organizational information is available on the DSSSB website: https://dsssb.delhi.gov.in/dsssb/about-us.

DSSSB Recruitment 2026 – Salary and Benefits

One of the biggest attractions of DSSSB recruitment is the opportunity to work in government departments with structured pay levels.

The salary depends on the post and the department.

A. Junior Engineer salary

DSSSB 2026 Preparation Strategy

A well-planned preparation strategy can help candidates improve their examination performance.

The most effective approach is to combine conceptual learning, revision, previous-question practice and regular mock examinations.

A. Preparation strategy for MTS candidates

Step 1: Understand the examination structure

Start by understanding the five examination subjects and their equal weightage.

Each subject carries 40 marks, so neglecting any one subject can reduce the overall score.

Step 2: Build fundamentals

Focus on arithmetic, grammar and reasoning fundamentals before attempting advanced practice questions.

Step 3: Prepare General Awareness consistently

Maintain a daily current-affairs routine and revise important static GK topics.

Step 4: Practise language sections

Improve Hindi and English comprehension through regular reading, grammar exercises and vocabulary revision.

Step 5: Attempt mock examinations

Take full-length mock tests under the actual two-hour time limit.

Analyse mistakes and identify subjects requiring additional attention.

B. Preparation strategy for Junior Engineer candidates

Step 1: Prioritize technical subjects

The technical component carries 100 marks in Tier-I. It should receive substantial preparation time.

Step 2: Revise engineering fundamentals

Start with circuit theory, electrical machines, power systems and electrical measurements.

Step 3: Practise numerical problems

Solve problems involving circuits, transformers, motors, power calculations and electrical networks.

Step 4: Prepare for application-based questions

Tier-II Part II tests the ability to apply theoretical concepts and solve technical problems.

Therefore, avoid relying exclusively on memorized definitions.

Step 5: Prepare General Awareness and Reasoning

Although technical knowledge is important, candidates should not ignore the non-technical Tier-I subjects.

C. Suggested weekly preparation schedule

Day	Main preparation focus
Monday	Technical subjects / Mathematics
Tuesday	Electrical Machines / Reasoning
Wednesday	Power Systems / General Awareness
Thursday	Electrical Measurements / English
Friday	Power Electronics / Hindi
Saturday	Technical revision / Numerical practice
Sunday	Full-length mock test and analysis

MTS candidates can substitute the technical subjects with arithmetic, reasoning and General Awareness practice.

D. Recommended preparation resources

Candidates can use:

• NCERT books for basic science and General Knowledge.
• Standard competitive examination reasoning books.
• Quantitative aptitude practice books.
• Standard Hindi and English grammar books.
• Diploma and degree-level Electrical Engineering textbooks.
