DSSSB PGT & TGT 2026 — Delhi Government Schools Recruitment Guide
DSSSB recruits PGT (classes 11-12) and TGT (classes 6-10) teachers for Delhi government schools under DoE, MCD, and NDMC.
- Body: Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB)
- TGT: one-tier, 200 MCQs/200 marks, 2 hrs, 0.25 negative marking
- PGT: one-tier (current cycles), 300 marks, 3 hrs — *older cycles used a two-tier structure, verify which applies now
- TGT eligibility: Graduation + B.Ed + CTET Paper II mandatory. Age ≤30 (relaxations up to +10)
- 2026: Advertisement No. 03/2026 live; PGT ~510 posts and TGT ~838 posts reported but both marked "provisional" by their own sources
Most current sources describe PGT as one-tier (300 marks/3 hrs), but older DSSSB cycles (pre-2020) used a two-tier Tier-I/Tier-II system, and one source still referenced this. DSSSB has changed tier structures multiple times historically — confirm against the specific 2026 advertisement's scheme annexure before publishing this as settled.
Overview
| TGT | One-tier, 200 MCQs/200 marks, 2 hrs, 0.25 negative marking |
| PGT | Reported one-tier, 300 marks, 3 hrs (*verify current cycle) |
| Conducted by | DSSSB, for DoE/MCD/NDMC Delhi schools |
Eligibility
- TGT: Graduation (45-50%) in the concerned subject + B.Ed + CTET Paper II mandatory (subject-specific variants apply). Age ≤30, relaxations up to +10 (PwD/women).
- *PGT: Master's degree (≥50%) + B.Ed; teaching experience desirable, not mandatory. Age 21-36 reported, PwD relaxation figure disputed (+10 vs +15).
- *A 2026 cycle postponement + possible age-limit increase was reported by one source but not independently confirmed — verify on dsssb.delhi.gov.in.
Selection Process & Exam Pattern
- TGT (one-tier): 200 MCQs, 200 marks, 2 hours, 0.25 negative marking. Section A (100 marks): GA, Reasoning, Numerical Ability, English, Hindi (20 each). Section B (100 marks): subject-specific + pedagogy.
- *PGT: most 2025-26 sources describe one-tier, 300 marks, 3 hours, 0.25 negative marking — but this conflicts with an older two-tier description found in one source. Verify before publishing.
Syllabus
Section A (common): GK, Reasoning, Numerical Aptitude, English, Hindi. Section B: subject-specific content + pedagogy/B.Ed-linked teaching methodology, weighted toward the applied-for subject.

Ask the Advisor →Frequently Asked Questions
Is CTET compulsory for DSSSB TGT?
Yes — CTET Paper II qualification is mandatory (with subject/language-specific requirements per subject).
What is the negative marking for DSSSB exams?
0.25 marks deducted per wrong answer, consistent across both TGT and PGT.
Sources
TGT's exam pattern is well-corroborated. PGT's current tier structure has conflicting signals across sources — the DSSSB "New Examination and Interview Scheme" PDF should be checked directly before publishing this as settled fact. Vacancy figures (510 PGT, 838 TGT) are both flagged by their own sources as provisional.
