DSSSB Lab Assistant Exam Pattern, Eligibility

These posts use DSSSB's one-tier technical paper: 200 questions in 2 hours. Section A has 100 general questions, 20 each on General Awareness, Reasoning, Arithmetic, Hindi and English. Section B has 100 questions on the subject of the post's qualification. Wrong answers cost 0.25 marks.

The pass mark applies to Section B and to the total, not to Section A on its own. Merit uses both sections.

The age limit was 18 to 27 years for all four, with the usual DSSSB relaxations.

There is no interview or skill test for these posts. Candidates are ranked on the written test, the top ones upload an e-dossier, and DSSSB nominates them. The department checks documents before the offer.

Is there one DSSSB Lab Assistant exam?

No. Each department's post has its own code, qualification and test.

Do I need a DMLT?

For the hospital and MCD posts, yes. DPCC's Junior Laboratory Assistant takes a science degree, or 12th science with 3 years of lab work.

Is there a practical test?

No. Selection is on the written test alone.

How many DPCC posts are there now?
