Exam pattern of DSSSB MTS govt job

One of the advantage of DSSSB jobs are that the exam process is transparent. Paper leaks are almost unheard of – last it happened was in 2017. So the track record of this recruitment board is good.

And the best part is it

Negative marking	0.25 marks for each wrong answer
Minimum qualifying marks	General/EWS: 40% OBC (Delhi): 35% SC/ST/PH (PwD): 30% Ex-servicemen: 30%.

A question you’ll have is, who’ll be considered OBC here? Answer is, OBC (Delhi) – the OBC list created by the Govt of Delhi – will be given all the benefits. All other OBC (outside) candidates can submit their application under UR category.

So apply under the right category, as the wrong application will lead to rejection – even at later stages.

Expected Cut off marks for the DSSSB MTS 10th pass vacancy

The minimum qualifying marks are 60-80 for various categories. On top of that depending upon vacancies and marks of the candidates – cut off marks for each dept will vary.

And one thing is for sure – cut off is going to go higher. Why? UP Police exams were delayed. Haryana Police exams were restricted to Haryana CET qualified candidates only. And the qualification for DSSSB MTS is basic. So a lot of students – even from the outside states will apply. So I’d say you should aim for 65%-70% marks for secure the desired job.

Although you also have the option to not give any preference in which case, the Board will take the decision at its discretion. I’d not recommend doing that because leaving it to the Board’s decision maynot be the best strategy.

Here’re all the vacancies by the respective boards

DEPARTMENT OF DELHI ARCHIVES	3
DIRECTORATE OF AUDIT	4
LAW, JUSTICE AND LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS	5
DEPARTMENT OF ARCHAEOLOGY	6
LAND & BUILDING DEPARTMENT	7
PLANNING DEPARTMENT	13
DIRECTORATE OF ECONOMICS AND STATISTICS	13
DELHI SUBORDINATE SERVICES SELECTION BOARD	13
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ELECTORAL OFFICER	16
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY SECRETARIAT	32
PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTS OFFICE	64
DEPARTMENT OF TRAINING AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION	86
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WELFARE	99
DEPARTMENT OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT	194
Total	567

Well I’m not an Astrologer, but out of these, I believe most students will be going for Secretariat, Audit, Law dept – because of its association with power. While few people might apply for Electoral office, Archives, Social welfare, etc. because they may involve deputation and public dealing. But these are my guesses. You should go with what you are interested in to find greater career satisfaction.
