DSSSB Peon Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

Two stages:

Each wrong answer loses 0.25. To qualify in Tier I you need 50% (UR, EWS) or 45% (OBC Delhi, SC, ST, PwBD, ex-servicemen). The final list is on Tier I plus interview, out of 115. Questions are bilingual except the English and Hindi sections.

The advertisement names only the four subjects. No topic list is published, and the qualification is Class 10, so prepare to that level: English, Hindi, general knowledge with current affairs, and arithmetic.

• Education: Matriculation (Class 10) from a recognised board.
• Age: 18 to 27, counted on 1 June 2026. SC/ST get 5 extra years, OBC (Delhi) 3, PwBD 10; ex-servicemen get their service period plus 3 years.
• Nationality: Indian citizen.

1. Tier I written test by DSSSB.
2. Shortlist of up to ten times the vacancies sent to the District Courts.
3. Interview by the Principal District & Sessions Judge (HQs); you state your court and post preferences here, and cannot change them later.
4. Final merit list by the District Courts on combined marks.

Pay Band 5,200 to 20,200 plus Grade Pay ₹2,000, which is Pay Level 3 (₹21,700 to ₹69,100 basic) in the current matrix. Group C.

Apply online at dsssbonline.nic.in. Fee ₹100 through SBI e-pay; women, SC, ST, PwBD and ex-servicemen are exempt. Ex-servicemen already re-employed in a civil post using the ex-servicemen quota do pay. No offline forms are taken.

The 822/24 final merit list ranks all 1,298 candidates called for interview (239 of them did not turn up) by total marks, with each one marked selected or not. It is on the DSSSB results page. For 808/26 the Tier I marks will appear in your OARS account first, followed by the interview list.

Marks of the last candidate selected in each category, post code 822/24 (out of 115):

The competition sits almost at the top of the scale: the highest total was 113.46. Losing a few questions in Tier I is usually the difference.

With the last selected UR candidate at 111 out of 115, there is very little room for error. Practise the Hindi and English sections as hard as the GK and arithmetic, since they carry equal marks and are easier to get fully right. Keep track of the negative marking; a guess that misses costs a quarter mark.
