DSSSB PRT Syllabus, Exam Pattern, Eligibility

One CBT, 200 questions, 200 marks, 2 hours. Questions are in Hindi and English except the language sections. A wrong answer costs 0.25.

The pass mark is applied to Section B only. Merit is on the total of both sections, normalised across shifts.

Section A is the Board's standard general paper. Section B is drawn from the NCTE curriculum for elementary teacher education, teaching methodology included, so a D.El.Ed. or B.El.Ed. syllabus is the right base. DSSSB posts its own topic list per post code on the Section B indicative syllabus page.

Age: not over 30 on 16 October 2025, the closing date. SC/ST get 5 more years, OBC (Delhi) 3, PwBD 10. DoE guest and contract teachers can add the time they served, up to 5 years.

Reserved categories get up to 5% relaxation in the qualifying marks of the academic qualification. Note that the DoE list has no B.Ed. route: a B.Ed. alone does not qualify.

There is no interview. After the CBT the Board publishes marks and calls the top scorers in each category to upload an e-dossier and rank DoE and NDMC in order of preference. Anyone who skips the preference step drops out of the result. Posts are then allotted on merit cum preference, and the department checks certificates before the offer letter.

Pay Level 6, ₹35,400–1,12,400, Group B non-gazetted, in both DoE and NDMC, plus Delhi government allowances.

Apply on OARS (dsssbonline.nic.in) after a one-time registration. The fee is ₹100 through SBI e-pay; women, SC, ST, PwBD and ex-servicemen pay nothing. You cannot edit the form, category included, once it is submitted.

PRT rounds have no fixed month. The next one will be posted on the vacancies page.

Marks for 83,614 candidates are in each candidate's OARS login; one result is held in a sealed cover on a tribunal order. The final allotment list will appear on the Results page after the e-dossier window closes.

Marks out of 200 of the last candidate called for e-dossier in the 802/25 round (Notice 382). These are shortlisting cut-offs; the final cut-offs will be a little higher.

• Clear CTET first. Without it the application is invalid however well you score.
• The UR cut-off sat at 172 out of 200 this round, so Section A cannot be treated as filler.
• Practise from the Board's own question bank, which has past CBT papers by year.
• Mark wrong answers carefully: at 0.25 a mistake, guessing on half-known questions rarely pays.

Is CTET compulsory for DSSSB PRT?

Yes, for both DoE and NDMC.

Can a B.Ed. holder apply?

Not on a B.Ed. alone. The DoE rules ask for an elementary education diploma, B.El.Ed. or the special education diploma.

How many posts are there in 802/25?

1,169 after the May 2026 corrigendum: 1,044 in DoE and 125 in NDMC.

What was the UR cut-off?

172.06 out of 200 for the e-dossier call.

Is there an interview?

No. Selection is on CBT marks and your department preference.
