DSSSB Examination Scheme 2025: Key Changes
The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) has revised the examination pattern for various technical and teaching posts under Advertisements 04/2024, 05/2024, and 06/2023. Effective from July 8, 2025, the new scheme modifies the minimum qualifying marks criteria for One-Tier and Two-Tier exams. Candidates must now focus more on domain-specific sections, as general sections will no longer have mandatory cut-offs. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the changes.
Modifications in One-Tier Examination for Technical & Teaching Posts
The One-Tier examination scheme has been revised for posts under Advertisements 04/2024 and 05/2024. This change ensures that candidates must secure the required cut-off in their specialized subject while the general section remains a scoring component without a mandatory pass percentage. Here’s what has changed:
- Previous Rule: Minimum qualifying marks were applicable only to Section B (domain-specific subject).
- Revised Rule:
- Section B (Domain-Specific Subject) will have minimum qualifying marks.
- Section A (General Section) will not have any minimum qualifying marks.
- Final merit list will be prepared based on the combined scores of Section A and Section B.
Changes in Two-Tier Examination for Technical Posts
For posts advertised under 06/2023, 04/2024, and 05/2024, the Two-Tier examination structure has been updated as follows:
- Tier-I: Only domain-specific Section B has qualifying marks
- Tier-II: Only domain-specific Section A/Part-I has qualifying marks
- Final selection based on combined scores from all sections
- Changes apply to advertisements 04/2024, 05/2024 and 06/2023
- Effective from July 8, 2025
Exam Tier | Section | Minimum Qualifying Marks | Merit List Consideration |
---|---|---|---|
Tier-I | Section A (General) | Not required | Combined marks of Sections A+B used for Tier-II shortlisting |
Section B (Domain-Specific) | Required | ||
Tier-II | Section A/Part-I (Domain-Specific) | Required | Total marks of both sections used for final merit |
Section B/Part-II | Not required |
