About DSSSB
DSSSB is a Government of NCT of Delhi board with its office at FC-18, Institutional Area, Karkardooma, Delhi-110092. For DSSSB recruitment 2026, the Board selects candidates against vacancies that the user departments report.
The Board has no role in deciding how many posts a department has. Each department keeps its own reservation roster and checks eligibility under its own recruitment rules. DSSSB then allots candidates to departments by merit and by the preferences they submit.
Local Context for Candidates Outside Delhi
All posts sit in Delhi government departments, autonomous bodies and local bodies, so the place of work is Delhi. The notice says exam centres will be in Delhi/NCR or in other states as decided by DSSSB.
Candidates in North Bengal, Sikkim and the North East can apply for DSSSB recruitment 2026 if they meet the post rules. Para 1 of the notice asks for Indian citizenship, age, qualification and experience.
OBC candidates need extra care. A candidate with an OBC certificate from outside Delhi applies as UR. The only exception is a certificate that meets the conditions in para 7(vi)(b) of the notice.
Both exams in DSSSB recruitment 2026 carry Hindi and English language tests. Question papers are bilingual, except for the language papers. Candidates can also follow the latest jobs across India while this recruitment runs.
This is added context, not part of the official notification. Confirm with the hiring office.

Application Fee
The application fee for DSSSB recruitment 2026 is ₹100. Women candidates and candidates from SC, ST, PwBD and ex-serviceman categories pay no fee.
An ex-serviceman gets no fee concession after taking a regular civil job through the ex-servicemen reservation. The rule covers jobs under the Central Government, the Delhi Government and their autonomous or local bodies.
Candidates pay only through State Bank of India (SBI) e-pay. The Board forfeits a payment made in any other mode and never refunds a fee.
How to Apply for DSSSB Recruitment 2026
Candidates must apply online. The Board does not accept applications by post, hand or mail.
- Open dsssbonline.nic.in and click New Registration. Registration is a one-time step, and candidates already registered use the same user ID and password.
- Fill the registration form within the 30-minute session. The Board recommends verifying the mobile number and email ID with the One-Time Password (OTP).
- Log in with the registration number as the login ID, between 12 November 2026 (12:00 Noon) and 11 December 2026 (11:59 PM).
- Fill the application form for the post code concerned, 809/26 or 810/26. Select the category with care, since it cannot be changed later.
- Upload the photograph and signature in the correct format and space.
- Pay the ₹100 fee through SBI e-pay, unless the candidate is exempt.
- Check the preview, submit the form and print a copy for records.
Each candidate may submit only one registration and one application for DSSSB recruitment 2026. Multiple registrations or applications lead to rejection, and appearing in the exam twice leads to debarment. The Board does not allow any correction after submission, including a change of category. It advises candidates to apply well before the last day, because the portal carries heavy load near the deadline.
Documents to Keep Ready
Candidates should keep these items ready before the portal opens on 12 November 2026.

- A recent clear colour photograph with a plain white or off-white background, full face, front view and eyes open.

Should You Apply?
The DSSSB recruitment 2026 notice suits two groups. Diploma and degree holders in electrical engineering can look at the 185 Junior Engineer posts. Matriculation pass candidates can look at the 1,075 MTS posts.
The MTS exam asks only for matriculation, so many candidates qualify, and competition is likely to be high. DSSSB gives no applicant figures.
Pay differs by post. Junior Engineer posts pay Level 6, and Delhi Transco pays Level 8, the highest pay in this notice. MTS posts pay Level 1.
The main trade-off is the department preference. Candidates set it at the e-dossier stage, and it cannot change. A candidate found ineligible for an opted department gets no other department. The vacancy numbers can also rise or fall, and there is no waiting panel.
Candidates who meet the rules for DSSSB recruitment 2026 should apply well before 11 December 2026. The site carries more government job notifications for candidates who miss the age or qualification rules here.
