One candidate, one application per postcode. Multiple applications for the same post code lead to automatic cancellation.
Only OBC (Delhi) candidates notified by the Government of NCT of Delhi are eligible for OBC reservation in DSSSB. Candidates holding OBC certificates from outside Delhi will be treated as Unreserved and must apply under UR.
The OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate must have been issued on or after 1 April 2026 but not later than 15 July 2026.
Here is the reality of this exam. The minimum qualifying mark for General category candidates is 40%. But the actual cut-off for popular posts — especially TGT Computer Science with 675 seats — will be significantly higher once lakh-plus candidates sit for a single paper. Section B is where the gap between selected and rejected candidates is decided.
Most candidates prepare well for the general sections and underestimate the subject section. That is the single biggest mistake in DSSSB preparation.
For teaching posts — whether you are aiming for a primary, graduate, or post-graduate level position — the DSSSB PRT Coaching in Delhi at BST Competitive Classes is designed specifically for candidates targeting Primary Teacher posts in Delhi government schools.
