DSSSB Recruitment 2026 Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility is not identical across every department in this combined advertisement.

Educational qualification, experience and age must be checked against the exact post and department selected.
Educational qualification for MTS posts

Other relaxations, including those for ex-servicemen and specified departmental candidates, are subject to the detailed conditions in the advertisement.
Important for OBC applicants: The advertisement states that OBC reservation and age-relaxation benefits are for eligible OBC (Delhi) candidates. OBC candidates from outside Delhi are generally treated as unreserved unless they meet the specific certificate conditions stated in the notice. Check the OBC certificate issue-date and non-creamy-layer requirements before claiming the benefit.
DSSSB Recruitment 2026 Application Fee
The application fee is ₹100. Women candidates, SC candidates, ST candidates, Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) and eligible ex-servicemen are exempted from paying the fee. The notification specifies SBI e-pay as the payment mode. The fee, once paid, is non-refundable. The stated ex-servicemen fee exemption has conditions for candidates who have already secured regular civil employment after using the ex-servicemen reservation benefit.
DSSSB JE and MTS Selection Process 2026
DSSSB will conduct separate combined examinations for the two post-code groups:
- Junior Engineer (Post Code 809/26): Two-tier technical examination. Tier I has 200 objective questions for 200 marks and a duration of two hours. Tier II has 150 questions for 200 marks and a duration of two hours and 30 minutes.
- MTS / MTS Aaya / MTS General Duty (Post Code 810/26): One-tier general examination with 200 objective questions for 200 marks and a duration of two hours.
The MTS paper covers General Awareness, General Intelligence and Reasoning, Arithmetical and Numerical Ability, Hindi Language and Comprehension, and English Language and Comprehension. Each area carries 40 marks. The JE papers include general sections and subject-specific electrical engineering questions as detailed in the notification.
Negative marking: The advertisement provides for a deduction of 0.25 marks for each incorrect one-mark MCQ and 0.50 marks for each incorrect two-mark MCQ. The minimum qualifying marks stated are 40% for General/EWS, 35% for OBC (Delhi), and 30% for SC/ST/PwBD candidates. Ex-servicemen receive the specified relaxation subject to a minimum of 30%.
Final merit will be based on the applicable examination scheme and normalized marks where required. The board may also conduct a skill, endurance, driving or trade test where required for a particular job. The examination date will be announced separately.
Department preference is important: DSSSB will ask shortlisted candidates to submit department/post preferences when the e-dossier is called. At least one preference must be selected, and the confirmed order cannot be changed later. Check the qualification, experience, age and other conditions for each department before choosing; a candidate found ineligible for a selected department can be rejected for that post without a later switch to another department.
