DSSSB MTS Exam Pattern, Eligibility, Important Dates

A single 2-hour test of 200 questions, 40 marks each on General Awareness, Reasoning, Arithmetic, Hindi and English. Each wrong answer loses 0.25. The Hindi and English sections are set in that language; the rest are bilingual.

• 10th pass (matriculation).
• Age 18 to 27; SC/ST get 5 extra years, OBC (Delhi) 3, PwBD 10.

Selection is on the written score. Shortlisted candidates upload an e-dossier and choose departments; anyone who skips the preference step is not considered. Some departments may add a skill or trade test. There is no waiting list under the combined scheme.

Pay Level 1: ₹18,000 to ₹56,900, Group C, plus Delhi government allowances.

Applications for 803/25 ran from 17 December 2025 to 15 January 2026 on dsssbonline.nic.in. The fee was ₹100; women, SC, ST, PwBD and ex-servicemen paid nothing.

Post code 812/24 (579 vacancies, 69,607 candidates, 1,732 called for e-dossier), cut-offs out of 200:

PwBD, ex-servicemen and sportsperson cut-offs are in the marks notice.

With a general cut-off above 183 out of 200 last time, accuracy matters more than speed: one careless guess costs a mark and a quarter against a correct answer. The paper is matric level, so the Hindi and English sections are often where candidates separate.
