DSSSB LDC Exam Pattern, Eligibility, Important Dates

173 topics across 6 subjects. Every question carries a written explanation.

Lower Division Clerk is the old name for the Pay Level 2 clerical post in Delhi government offices. Most departments now call it Junior Assistant, but some bodies still advertise LDC: in the latest round, the Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board wanted 28 LDCs and DUSIB wanted 256 LDC-cum-Typists.

Both came through DSSSB's clerical combined exam, post code 802/23. Candidates who cleared the written cut-off took the typing test from 27 to 31 July 2026, and the final allotment is the remaining step.
