DSSSB Recruitment 2026 Advertisement No. 06/2026 invites online applications for 1,260 tentative vacancies across Junior Engineer (Electric/Electrical), Multi-Tasking Staff, MTS–Aaya (Female), and MTS General Duty posts.

Post-wise vacancy details

Junior Engineer Electrical: 185 vacancies

The JE vacancies are distributed across five departments under Post Code 809/26:

Department/post	Pay level in notice	Total vacancies
New Delhi Municipal Council — JE (Electric)	Level 6	67
Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board — JE (Electrical)	Level 6	3
Municipal Corporation of Delhi — JE (Electrical)	Level 6	26
Delhi Transco Limited — JE (Electrical)	Level 8	75
Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board — JE (Electrical)	Level 6	14
Total		185

The notification gives department-wise eligibility details. For example, the NDMC JE post accepts either a degree in Electrical Engineering or a recognised diploma in Electrical Engineering with two years of professional experience. Other departments specify their own qualification and experience requirements, so applicants should not assume that one JE eligibility rule applies to all five departments.

Multi-Tasking Staff: 1,075 vacancies

The MTS vacancies are distributed across nine departments and post types under Post Code 810/26:

Post or department	Total vacancies
MTS General Duty — Directorate of Education	757
MTS–Aaya (Female) — Directorate of Education	239
MTS — Department of Trade & Taxes	26
MTS — Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board	20
MTS — Directorate of Higher Education	3
MTS — Weights and Measures Department	19
MTS — Principal Accounts Office	2
MTS — Land & Building Department	7
MTS — Office of the Chief Electoral Officer	2
Total	1,075

Across both post codes, the notice lists 537 unreserved, 325 OBC, 181 SC, 94 ST, and 123 EWS vacancies. It also lists vacancies or inclusions for PwBD, ESM, and MSP categories. Category benefits are subject to the rules and certificates described in the notification.

DSSSB JE Electrical eligibility

The JE eligibility differs by department. Commonly listed requirements include a degree or diploma in Electrical Engineering from a recognised institution. Some diploma-based posts also require professional experience in electrical installation, maintenance, or a related electrical engineering field.

For the NDMC JE (Electric) post, the notice specifies either:

1.A degree in Electrical Engineering from an institute recognised by the Central Government; or

2.A diploma in Electrical Engineering from a recognised institute with two years of professional experience in electrical engineering.

The age limit for this NDMC post is 18 to 32 years. Other JE departments may prescribe a different upper age limit. The qualification, experience, age, and disability-suitability requirements must therefore be checked against the individual department entry in the official advertisement.

DSSSB MTS eligibility

The MTS entries generally require matriculation or an equivalent pass from a Central or State Government-recognised board or university. The notice does not prescribe essential experience for the MTS General Duty entry shown for the Directorate of Education.

The standard age range for the MTS posts is 18 to 27 years. The notice also provides applicable relaxations for eligible categories and certain departmental or contractual candidates, subject to the stated conditions and government instructions.

The MTS–Aaya post is specifically identified as a female post in the advertisement. Candidates should also verify any department-specific conditions and the suitability requirements applicable to the selected category.

Age relaxation and reservation certificates

The notification provides category-wise age relaxation, including five years for SC/ST candidates, three years for OBC candidates, and ten years for PwBD candidates, with additional provisions for certain combined categories and other groups. The applicable relaxation can depend on the post classification and the candidate’s status.

The crucial date for determining age, qualification, experience, and related benefits is 11 December 2026, the closing date of applications. For OBC reservation, the notice contains specific rules for OBC (Delhi) candidates and certificate dates. Candidates seeking reservation should read the certificate requirements carefully rather than relying on a general OBC certificate assumption.

Salary and pay scale

Salary depends on the department and post. The NDMC JE (Electric) entry lists ₹35,400–₹1,12,400 under Pay Level 6, while Delhi Transco Limited lists Pay Level 8 for its JE (Electrical) vacancies. The Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board entry uses the pay scale stated in its department-specific recruitment details.

The MTS entries list ₹18,000–₹56,900 under Pay Level 1 and classify the post as Group C, non-gazetted, non-ministerial. Applicants should use the individual department row in the official notice for the final pay and classification applicable to their preference.

Application fee

The application fee is ₹100. Women candidates and candidates belonging to SC, ST, PwBD, and eligible Ex-serviceman categories are exempt from paying the fee, subject to the conditions in the notice.

Applicants must pay through SBI e-pay. The notification states that other payment modes will not be accepted and that the fee is non-refundable. Ex-servicemen who have already secured regular civil employment after using Ex-serviceman reservation benefits may not qualify for the fee concession.

DSSSB Recruitment 2026 exam pattern

DSSSB has prescribed different examination schemes for the two post codes.

JE Electrical: Two-tier technical examination

The JE examination has two tiers. Tier I lasts two hours and contains 200 objective questions for 200 marks. Section A covers General Awareness, General Intelligence and Reasoning, Arithmetical and Numerical Ability, Hindi Language and Comprehension, and English Language and Comprehension. Section B tests the subject concerned.

Tier I is qualifying and is used to shortlist candidates for Tier II. Tier II lasts two hours and 30 minutes and contains 150 objective questions for 200 marks. It includes a 100-question, 100-mark qualifying-subject section and a 50-question, 100-mark section focused on application of concepts, problem-solving, comprehension, and theoretical application.

MTS: One-tier general examination

The MTS examination is a two-hour, one-tier paper with 200 objective questions for 200 marks. It covers General Awareness, General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability, Arithmetical and Numerical Ability, Hindi Language and Comprehension, and English Language and Comprehension. Each listed subject carries 40 marks.

The notice states that negative marking applies. A wrong one-mark MCQ attracts a deduction of 0.25 marks, while a wrong two-mark MCQ attracts a deduction of 0.50 marks. Questions are bilingual in Hindi and English except for the relevant language-paper questions.

Selection process

Selection is based on the examination scheme prescribed for the post code. DSSSB may normalise computer-based examination marks when required, and the normalised scores are used for merit and selection.

The notice sets minimum qualifying marks of 40% for General/EWS candidates, 35% for OBC (Delhi) candidates, and 30% for SC/ST/PwBD candidates. Applicants must also account for any post-specific skill, endurance, driving, or trade test that may be required for a job.

For some stages, DSSSB publishes draft answer keys and allows objections through the online process within the prescribed time. The Board does not provide re-evaluation or re-checking of answer sheets.

How to apply online

Applications must be submitted through the DSSSB OARS portal. New applicants who have not registered earlier should first use the OARS new-registration page. The official registration instructions state that the registration details become final after submission and cannot be changed later.

Follow these steps:

1.Open the official DSSSB application portal and select new registration if you do not already have an OARS account.

2.Enter your name, date of birth, Class 10 roll number, passing year, gender, mobile number, and email address exactly as shown in the relevant records.

3.Verify the mobile number and email address using the OTP process.

4.Provide the identity-proof details requested by the portal. If Aadhaar is used as the identity proof, the portal states that a scanned identity-proof file is not required at registration.

5.Complete the application for the relevant post code and confirm that you meet the department-specific requirements.

6.Upload the photograph, signature, and certificates in the format and size specified by the portal.

7.Pay the ₹100 fee through SBI e-pay if you are not exempt.

8.Review the complete form carefully, submit it before 11 December 2026 at 11:59 p.m., and save or print the submitted application and payment record.

The OARS portal warns that only one registration should be created. The registration number becomes the login ID for further access to the system. The portal also states that the identity proof entered during registration may be checked at the examination and e-dossier stages.

Mistakes applicants should avoid

Do not apply solely because you meet the broad JE or MTS description. The department-wise rules can differ, especially for JE experience, age, pay, and disability suitability.

Do not submit multiple registrations or applications. The notification warns that duplicate registrations or applications can lead to rejection and cancellation of candidature.

Before final submission, check the category, post code, department preference, qualification details, photograph, signature, identity information, and payment status. DSSSB states that requests to change important application details after submission will not ordinarily be entertained.

Finally, keep checking the official DSSSB website. Examination dates, corrigenda, answer keys, admit-card information, and other updates are communicated through the Board’s official channels.
