ExploreAbout this exam
The DSSSB TGT (Trained Graduate Teacher) selection is run by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board, a body instituted by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi, which describes its purpose as recruiting capable, competent, highly skilled individuals by conducting written tests, professional tests and personal interviews wherever as desired. Teaching posts are advertised through vacancy notices and combined examination advertisements, and each post carries a post code that candidates track across the Board's notices, admit cards, answer keys and results. The written stage is a computer based examination; the Board publishes draft and final answer keys for online computer based examinations and maintains a public question bank archive covering earlier years, plus a mock test link for the online exam interface. The screening paper is commonly organised around five equally weighted areas: General Awareness, General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability, Arithmetical and Numerical Ability, Hindi Language and Comprehension, and English Language and Comprehension. Because the Board's own pages list Section A and Section B indicative syllabi and a syllabus of combined examination, the exact scheme for your post code should always be read from the current advertisement rather than assumed. Preparation that works: confirm your post code and its notified scheme first, then build a weekly rotation across all five areas so no single section is starved, drill timed sets in reasoning and arithmetic for speed, and read Hindi and English comprehension passages daily. Track official notices for exam dates, admit cards and answer-key windows, and use the mock test link to rehearse the on-screen interface before exam day.
What you'll study
About DSSSB TGT preparation
What is the DSSSB TGT exam and who conducts it?
It is a teacher recruitment selection run by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board, a body instituted by the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi. The Board recruits through written tests, professional tests and personal interviews wherever as desired, and advertises teaching posts through vacancy notices and combined examination advertisements with individual post codes.
Is the exam written on paper or on a computer?
The Board's notices and tenders refer to online computer based examinations, and it publishes draft and final answer keys for online computer based examinations. Its source page also mentions written tests, professional tests and personal interviews wherever as desired, so check the advertisement for your specific post code to confirm which stages apply to you.
How many questions are there and how long is the paper?
The official source page does not state a question count, duration, sectional timing or marking scheme for TGT. Those details sit in the advertisement and scheme for each post code, so read the current vacancy notice and the examination and interview scheme pages before you plan practice timings.
Which subjects should I study, and in what order?
The screening paper is usually organised around General Awareness, General Intelligence and Reasoning Ability, Arithmetical and Numerical Ability, Hindi Language and Comprehension, and English Language and Comprehension. Start with the two language sections and reasoning, since they reward daily habit, then add arithmetic drills; keep general awareness as short daily revision rather than a last-week cram.
How difficult is the paper?
Difficulty comes mostly from breadth and time pressure rather than exotic content. Reasoning and arithmetic sets punish slow calculation, while the two language sections punish shallow reading. Practise timed blocks, review every wrong answer for its cause, and aim for steady accuracy across all sections instead of perfecting one.
Can I retake the exam if I am not selected?
The source page does not describe a retake policy. In practice, selection is per advertisement and post code, so a new vacancy notice means a new application cycle. Watch the current vacancies and advertisement pages for fresh teaching advertisements, and check the eligibility and ineligibility lists the Board publishes.
Where do I apply and download my admit card?
Applications go through the Board's Online Application Registration System, linked from its home page. Admit cards are announced under the What's New and Notice Board sections, for example a download link for an exam scheduled from 27 Oct to 05 Dec 2026. Check the site regularly, since notices and corrigenda appear with short lead times.
What are the most common ways candidates lose marks?
Three recurring failures: ignoring the specific post code scheme and preparing from generic material, spending too long on one reasoning or arithmetic question, and neglecting Hindi or English comprehension until the final weeks. A fourth is missing official notices, including answer-key objection windows, which the Board publishes with firm dates.
How do I check answer keys and raise objections?
The Board publishes notices for display of draft answer keys and later final answer keys for online computer based examinations, and at least one notice provides an objection link tied to a specific post code. Draft-key windows are short, so check the What's New section after your exam date and act within the stated period.
Is this page affiliated with DSSSB?
No. This is independent study material prepared for candidates searching for the exam; it is not official and makes no claim of affiliation with the Board. Always verify dates, eligibility, scheme and fees against the Board's own website and the advertisement for your post code before acting.
