ExploreAbout this exam
The DSSSB PGT examination is a teaching recruitment pathway conducted by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board, a body instituted by the Government of NCT of Delhi. The Board recruits capable, competent and highly skilled individuals for user departments, including PGT posts in the Directorate of Education, through written tests, professional tests and personal interviews wherever desired. For PGT candidates, the main competition is normally the online computer-based examination, with any additional stage set by the post code.
DSSSB publishes a Section A indicative syllabus and a Section B indicative syllabus, plus a combined-examination syllabus. Use the Section B indicative syllabus for your PGT subject and the Section A syllabus for the general component, but confirm the exact scheme in the vacancy advertisement and examination notice for your post code.
Preparation should be notice-led. Download the advertisement and syllabus, work through the official online exam question banks for 2018 to 2025, take the DSSSB mock test, and track draft and final answer-key notices. Results, rejection notices and e-dossier calls are posted by post code, so check the latest result column rather than assuming one common cut-off.
What you'll study
About DSSSB PGT preparation
What is the format of the DSSSB PGT exam?
DSSSB conducts an online computer-based examination for various post codes. The Board's recruitment purpose also covers written tests, professional tests and personal interviews wherever desired. The exact stages for a PGT subject depend on the post code, so read the vacancy advertisement and the examination notice before planning preparation.
Is there a fixed duration and question count for PGT papers?
The homepage does not publish one universal duration or item count for PGT papers. The e-admit card and the post-code notification are controlling. The site does show an examination window from 27 October 2026 to 05 December 2026 for various post codes, but that is a schedule, not a per-paper time limit.
How difficult is the DSSSB PGT exam?
DSSSB does not publish a difficulty rating or a single cut-off. Difficulty varies by PGT subject and by the depth of the Section B indicative syllabus for that subject. The more reliable signal is the official online exam question bank for 2018 to 2025 and the mock test, which show the style of computer-based items.
Can I retake the exam if I do not qualify?
The homepage does not state a general retake policy. Attempts and eligibility are governed by the advertisement for the specific post code, so read Advertisement No. 03/2026, 04/2026 or 05/2026 and any corrigendum. Do not assume that a prior application or a prior attempt carries forward automatically.
What study order should a PGT candidate follow?
Start with the post-code advertisement and the Section B indicative syllabus for your subject, then map the Section A topics. Use the official online exam question banks for 2018 to 2025 to drill item style, and take the DSSSB mock test before the exam window. Finish by reviewing draft and final answer-key notices.
Which notices matter most after I apply?
The e-admit card, examination notification, draft answer-key notice, final answer-key notice, result notice and any rejection notice. DSSSB posts these separately by post code; for example, PGT Biology 828/24 had a result notice and a rejection notice dated 03-11-2026. Follow your post code, not the generic page.
How does the answer-key process work?
DSSSB displays draft answer keys for online computer-based examinations, then final answer keys. Objection links appear for specific post codes. If your post code has a live objection window, use it with evidence. After final keys are displayed, the scored result and e-dossier stages follow.
What common mistakes should I avoid?
Three: treating a previous year's vacancy or cut-off as current, ignoring post-code-specific rejection and corrigendum notices, and missing the draft answer-key objection window. DSSSB's homepage shows corrigenda, rejection notices and rescheduling orders, so a weekly check of the What's New section is part of preparation, not just administration.
