DSSSB's Advertisement No. 06/2026, dated 6 November 2026, covers two very different jobs in one notice. The first is Junior Engineer (Electrical/Electric): 185 posts under post code 809/26, open to electrical degree and diploma holders. The second is Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS): 1,075 posts under post code 810/26, for which a Class 10 pass is enough. Together that is 1,260 posts across the Delhi Government, its local bodies and autonomous boards. Online applications run from 12 November 2026 (12 noon) to 11 December 2026 (11:59 PM) on dsssbonline.nic.in. We read all 32 pages of the official notice for this guide, and the page numbers are in brackets so you can check anything yourself.
If you only want the dates and the apply link, our DSSSB JE Electrical & MTS online form page has them in one place. This article covers the details that decide whether your application ends up counting.

Read This First: 185 JE Posts Does Not Mean 185 for You
This is the single most important point in the JE half of the notice, and it is easy to miss because the summary table on page 1 shows one combined figure. The five departments under post code 809/26 do not have the same eligibility rules. Taken from pages 4 to 7:
| Department | Posts | What it accepts | Upper age |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) | 67 | Degree in EE, or Diploma in EE + 2 years' professional experience; the institute must be recognised by the Central Government | 32 |
| Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board (DAMB) | 3 | Diploma in EE + 2 years' electrical installation/maintenance work (essential) | 27 |
| Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) | 26 | Degree in EE, or Diploma + 2 years as Electrical Engineer counted from the date the diploma was completed | 27 |
| Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) | 75 | Degree or Diploma in EE; no experience | 27 |
| Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) | 14 | Diploma in EE or equivalent; no experience | 27 |
Put that together and the posts you are actually competing for depend on your profile. This is our arithmetic from the notice's own numbers, for an unreserved candidate with no age relaxation:
- Fresh diploma holder, no experience, age up to 27: only DTL (75) and DUSIB (14), or 89 posts. NDMC, MCD and DAMB all want two years' experience from diploma holders.
- Fresh B.E./B.Tech (Electrical), age up to 27: NDMC (67), MCD (26) and DTL (75), or 168 posts. DUSIB and DAMB write only "Diploma ... or equivalent". The notice does not say whether a degree counts as "equivalent", so do not assume it does. If you want those two, ask DSSSB before you list them as preferences.
- Diploma with two years' relevant experience, age up to 27: all five, or 185 posts, provided your experience fits each department's wording. MCD counts it only from the date of completing the diploma, and DAMB wants installation/maintenance work specifically.
- Aged 28 to 32: only NDMC's 67 posts, unless a category or departmental age relaxation brings you under 27 for the others.
Why this matters so much: you choose departments at the e-dossier stage, after the exam. Paragraph 5 (p.16) says that if the user department finds you ineligible for a department you opted for, your candidature for that whole post code is rejected, and DSSSB will not shift you to another department. Paragraph 6(x) (p.18) adds that once you are allocated your first available preference on merit, you are not considered for the others, and paragraph 6(xiv) says there is no waiting panel. A fresh diploma holder who scores well and lists NDMC first "because it pays Level 6 and is in central Delhi" can lose the job completely. Our advice: before the e-dossier window opens, write down your exact degree/diploma, your experience certificate dates, and your age on 11 December 2026, and list only the departments where you meet every line.
The Posts, Department by Department
Junior Engineer, post code 809/26 (185 posts)
| Department | UR | OBC | SC | ST | EWS | Total | PwBD (incl.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NDMC — JE (Electric) | 40 | 8 | 8 | 5 | 6 | 67 | 4 |
| DAMB | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 |
| MCD | 12 | 7 | 4 | 2 | 1 | 26 | 1 |
| Delhi Transco Ltd | 38 | 15 | 9 | 5 | 8 | 75 | 3 |
| DUSIB | 5 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 14 | 0 |
| Total | 98 | 33 | 23 | 14 | 17 | 185 | 9 |
The category totals in the last row are our addition from page 1; the notice prints only a grand total for both post codes together. The JE rows show no ex-servicemen or sports-person reservation ("--" on p.1). For PwBD candidates, category (a), blindness and low vision, is marked not suitable for every JE department, and Delhi Transco also marks category (d) not suitable (pp.4–7).
Delhi Transco stands out. It has the most JE posts (75) and is the only department paying Level 8 (₹52,000–1,51,100) (p.6). It also has the simplest eligibility, a degree or diploma with no experience. If you are a fresh diploma holder, these 75 posts are the main reason to apply.
Multi-Tasking Staff, post code 810/26 (1,075 posts)
| Department | UR | OBC | SC | ST | EWS | Total | PwBD | ESM | MSP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Directorate of Education — MTS (General Duty) | 305 | 205 | 114 | 57 | 76 | 757 | 30 | 76 | 38 |
| Directorate of Education — MTS Aaya (Female) | 97 | 64 | 36 | 18 | 24 | 239 | 8 | 24 | 12 |
| Department of Trade & Taxes | 9 | 12 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 26 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| DUSIB | 9 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 20 | 1 | 2 | 1 |
| Directorate of Higher Education | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Weights & Measures Department | 10 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 19 | 1 | 2 | 0 |
| Principal Accounts Office | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Land & Building Department | 3 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Office of the Chief Electoral Officer | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 439 | 292 | 158 | 80 | 106 | 1,075 | 43 | 107 | 52 |
PwBD, ESM and MSP (meritorious sports persons) are counted inside the category figures, not on top of them (p.2). Again, the category totals are our sum.
The Directorate of Education accounts for 757 + 239 = 996 of the 1,075 MTS posts, about 93%. In practice, an MTS selection from this notice will most likely mean a posting under the Directorate of Education. The 239 Aaya posts are marked "(Female)" in the post name (p.8), so men cannot be selected for them. For men, the realistic MTS pool is the other 836 posts.
Two smaller points. In the Department of Trade & Taxes, OBC posts (12) outnumber UR posts (9), and there are no SC posts (p.8). And DUSIB is the only MTS employer that accepts an ITI pass as an alternative to Class 10; its notice also mentions a mandatory induction training of at least two weeks for completing probation (p.9).
Eligibility Rules That Catch People Out
The cut-off date is the closing date
Qualification, age, experience and every category benefit are judged as on 11 December 2026 (p.12, p.19, p.21). If your diploma result or your two-year experience mark lands after that date, you are not eligible, and paragraph 6(xv) says such candidates "need not apply" (p.18).
OBC means OBC (Delhi)
Only OBC candidates notified by the Delhi Government get OBC reservation or age relaxation. OBC (Outside) candidates must apply as UR (p.19). The notice accepts only two kinds of certificate: one issued by Delhi's Revenue Department, or one issued outside Delhi that is based on a Delhi OBC certificate held by your father, sibling or paternal uncle who lived in Delhi before 8 September 1993. Your OBC non-creamy-layer certificate must be issued between 1 April 2026 and 11 December 2026. One issued in, say, February 2026 will not do. If you are an OBC candidate from UP, Bihar or Haryana without a Delhi link, this changes your category to UR, along with your fee (₹100 unless you are a woman) and your qualifying percentage (40% instead of 35%).
EWS certificate year
The EWS Income & Asset certificate must be valid for financial year 2026-27, issued on the basis of income for 2025-26 (p.19).
Age relaxation (p.20)
| Category | Relaxation in upper age |
|---|---|
| SC/ST | 5 years |
| OBC (Delhi) | 3 years |
| PwBD | 10 years (15 with SC/ST, 13 with OBC) |
| Departmental candidate (3 years' continuous regular service, Central Govt civilian or GNCTD bodies) | Group B (JE): up to 5 years in the same or allied line. Group C (MTS): up to age 40 (45 SC/ST, 43 OBC) |
| Ex-servicemen | Military service + 3 years, maximum age 55 |
| Meritorious sports persons (Group C only) | Up to 5 years (10 SC/ST, 8 OBC) |
| Disabled defence personnel (Group C only) | Up to age 45 (50 SC/ST, 48 OBC) |
| Widows, divorced women, judicially separated women not remarried (Group C only) | Up to age 35 (40 SC/ST, 38 OBC) |
The last three rows apply only to Group C posts, which in this notice means MTS, not JE. There is also a relaxation for contractual employees of the same department: up to the time actually served on contract, with a maximum of 5 years, counting only years with at least 180 working days. The notice lists it only for certain departments: NDMC, MCD and DUSIB among the JE posts, and Directorate of Education (both posts) and DUSIB among the MTS posts (pp.4–9). It is not mentioned for Delhi Transco, DAMB, Trade & Taxes, Higher Education, Weights & Measures, Principal Accounts Office, Land & Building or the CEO's office. If you have worked on contract in a Delhi school, the 757 + 239 Directorate of Education posts are the ones where this can help you.
Fee
₹100, paid only through SBI e-pay, and not refundable (p.13). Women, SC, ST, PwBD and ex-servicemen pay nothing. An ex-serviceman who has already taken a regular civil job using ESM reservation loses both the fee exemption and the ESM reservation, though not the age relaxation (p.13, p.20).
Exam Pattern from the Notice
The full scheme is printed on pages 14 and 15, so you do not need to look elsewhere for the structure. DSSSB does say it may change the scheme before the exam (p.16).
JE (Electrical): two tiers
| Stage | Content | Questions / Marks | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier-I, Section A | General Awareness; Reasoning; Arithmetic & Numerical Ability; Hindi; English (20 marks each) | 100 / 100 | 2 hours |
| Tier-I, Section B | Electrical engineering, as per the qualification for the post | 100 / 100 | |
| Tier-II, Part I | Whole syllabus of the qualifying subject, 1 mark each | 100 / 100 | 2 hours 30 minutes |
| Tier-II, Part II | Application, problem-solving, 2 marks each | 50 / 100 |
- Tier-I only shortlists for Tier-II (p.15). There is no separate minimum in Section A, but the minimum qualifying marks apply to Section B and to the Tier-I total.
- Tier-II decides the final merit, and you must clear the minimum in Part I and Part II separately (p.15).
- In other words, the electrical paper matters in both tiers. A candidate who scores heavily in general awareness and English but weakly in Section B can be stopped at Tier-I.
MTS: one tier
200 MCQs of one mark each, 200 marks, 2 hours: General Awareness, Reasoning, Arithmetic & Numerical Ability, Hindi, and English, 40 marks each (p.15). The final merit list is prepared from this one exam (p.15).
Rules for both
- Negative marking: 0.25 per wrong one-mark answer, 0.50 per wrong two-mark answer (p.16).
- Questions are bilingual (Hindi and English), except the language sections (p.16).
- Minimum qualifying marks (p.17): General/EWS 40%, OBC (Delhi) 35%, SC/ST/PwBD 30%; ex-servicemen get 5% relaxation within their category, subject to a floor of 30%. Our reading: for an MTS candidate in the UR category, that is 80 of 200. The notice warns that actual cut-offs may go higher.
- Scores are normalised if needed, using DSSSB's formula notice of 11 July 2018 (p.17). Draft answer keys are published and objections are accepted online only. There is no re-evaluation (p.16).
- Tie-break: for JE Tier-I, higher Section B marks first; otherwise (JE Tier-II and MTS), the older candidate is placed higher, then alphabetical order of first name (pp.17–18).
- The notice also says a skill, endurance, driving or trade test "will be taken as per requirement of job" (p.16), but it does not name one for these posts.
Time check, our arithmetic: 200 questions in 120 minutes is 36 seconds a question for MTS and JE Tier-I. In Tier-II, 150 questions in 150 minutes averages one minute each, but the 50 two-mark questions need more time than that.
Selection Maths: What the Numbers Say
DSSSB has not published how many people applied, and we will not guess. What the notice does let you do is see where seats are concentrated:
- JE OBC (Delhi) candidates have 33 posts, and 15 of them are at Delhi Transco. A fresh OBC diploma holder is effectively competing for 18 OBC posts (DTL 15 + DUSIB 3), plus open merit.
- JE SC and ST have 23 and 14 posts; EWS has 17. In MCD, EWS has a single post.
- MTS women can compete for all 1,075 posts, including 239 reserved for women by post, and pay no fee. Women have the best odds in this notice.
- MTS ex-servicemen have 107 posts inside the categories, and sports persons 52. Both groups are nearly all in the Directorate of Education.
- Own-merit rule: a reserved-category candidate who qualifies on unreserved standards without relaxation is counted against a UR post, and the reserved seats go further down that category's list (pp.18–19).
Small departments (Higher Education 3, Principal Accounts Office 2, CEO's office 2) are all or nearly all UR. They will go to whoever ranks highest and lists them. Because allocation is "merit cum preference" (p.18), these are long shots unless you rank near the top.
What the Jobs Are Like
This section is general background, not from the notice. Actual duties are set by each department.
Junior Engineer (Electrical): typically the first-level engineer on site. In municipal and housing bodies, the job usually covers electrical installations in public buildings, street lighting and residential colonies: estimates, measurement books, contractor supervision, complaint handling and maintenance records. In a transmission utility like Delhi Transco, it usually means work at substations, including shift duty, equipment maintenance and outage work. Expect field work, odd hours during faults, and a lot of paperwork. The notice classes these as Group B, Technical, Non-Gazetted posts (pp.4–7).
Multi-Tasking Staff: Group C, non-ministerial support work. In schools this usually means opening and closing premises, moving files and registers, helping with exam logistics, cleanliness and general support. The Aaya role in schools generally involves looking after younger children's needs and supporting teachers. In offices such as Trade & Taxes or Land & Building, it is mostly office support. The pay is Level 1. It is a permanent government job with a clear pay scale, but the work is not desk-based clerical work, and you should apply knowing that.
Our Preparation Plan
This is our advice, not part of the notice.
For JE (assuming an exam two to three months away; DSSSB has not given a date):
- Weeks 1–4: core electrical topics for Section B and Tier-II Part I: circuits and network theory, machines (transformers, DC, induction and synchronous), power systems, measurements, power electronics basics, and estimation and costing. Make your own one-page formula sheets.
- Weeks 5–6: Tier-II Part II type questions, numerical problems where one formula is not enough. Two marks are at stake and a wrong answer costs 0.50, so practise judging when to skip.
- Weeks 7–8: Section A for 30–40 minutes a day: Delhi-specific general awareness, arithmetic and reasoning, plus Hindi grammar, which many engineering candidates neglect.
- Final weeks: full timed mocks of 200 questions in 2 hours, and use DSSSB's own mock test link (p.16) to get used to the interface.
For MTS:
- The five sections carry equal weight (40 each), so do not skip Hindi or English. They are often the easiest marks.
- Daily: 30 arithmetic questions (percentages, ratio, time and work, simple interest), 30 reasoning questions, and 20 minutes of current affairs with a Delhi focus.
- Weekly: one 200-question timed paper. At 36 seconds a question, speed matters as much as knowledge.
- With negative marking at 0.25, an educated guess between two options is usually worth taking. A blind guess among four is close to break-even (our arithmetic: 1 × 0.25 − 0.25 × 0.75 ≈ +0.06 expected), so do not count on guessing to clear the cut-off.
How to Apply, Step by Step
- Register on OARS at dsssbonline.nic.in if you have not done so before. It is a one-time registration, and a second registration can get you debarred (p.12, p.21). The form session lasts 30 minutes (p.26).
- Keep ready a scanned photo ID (PAN, Voter ID, Driving Licence or Passport) as JPG/JPEG of 15–60 KB. If you give your Aadhaar number, no scan is needed (p.26).
- Use an email and mobile number that are not already registered on OARS, because those are refused (p.26). Verify both by OTP.
- Enter your Class 10 roll number using only its numbers, with no leading zeros (p.26). Name, gender and father's name cannot be edited later (p.27).
- Log in, select Advertisement 06/2026 and the post code (809/26 or 810/26), and fill the application. Choose your category carefully: it cannot be changed after submission (p.13, p.18).
- Upload a recent colour photograph on a plain white or off-white background, with full face and eyes open. Blurred photos or signatures lead to rejection (p.21).
- Pay ₹100 by SBI e-pay if you are not exempt (p.13), and print the submitted form (p.21).
- Apply before the last few days. DSSSB warns that the site gets heavy load near the closing date and it will not accept that as an excuse (p.13).
After the exam: if shortlisted, you upload documents in an online e-dossier and choose department preferences. If you miss the e-dossier window, your candidature is dropped with no second chance (p.21). Exam centres may be in Delhi/NCR or other states (p.22). On exam day, shoes are not allowed (wear slippers or low-heeled sandals), clothes should be light and half-sleeved, and no gadget of any kind is permitted (p.22).
Who Should and Shouldn't Apply
Apply for JE if you hold an electrical degree or diploma, are within the age limit on 11 December 2026, and are willing to do field or substation work. Fresh diploma holders under 27 should apply mainly with Delhi Transco's 75 Level-8 posts in mind.
Think twice about JE if your branch is "Electrical & Electronics" or similar and you are not sure it counts as Electrical Engineering for a given department. The notice does not settle that, and a wrong preference can cost you the whole post code. Get clarity before you list departments.
Apply for MTS if you have passed Class 10, are 18–27 (or covered by a relaxation), and want a permanent Delhi Government job. This is especially worth it for women, who pay no fee and have 239 posts of their own.
Think twice about MTS if you are a graduate looking for clerical or office work. Level 1 support duty is a different job, and DSSSB's clerk-level exams may fit you better.
Can you apply for both? The notice holds a separate exam for each post code (p.16) and allows only one application per examination (p.21). It does not say you cannot sit both exams. If you are eligible for both, fill each form carefully and do not submit either one twice.
