How to Apply for DSSSB Recruitment 2026
- Go to the DSSSB OARS portal, dsssbonline.nic.in.
- If you are new, click New Registration and complete the one-time registration within the 30-minute session. Name, gender and father’s name cannot be edited later.
- If you are already registered, log in with your registration number and password. Do not create a second registration. Multiple registrations lead to cancellation, and appearing in the exam more than once can lead to debarment.
- Select Advertisement No. 06/2026 and the post code you want (809/26 or 810/26).
- Fill in the application form and select the correct category.
- Upload your photograph and signature as per the instructions on the form.

Important Instructions
- No changes after submission. The notification does not allow correction of any detail, including category, once the form is submitted.
- One application only. Duplicate applications are rejected.
- Provisional candidature. Applying under the Combined Examination does not make you eligible for every department. Ineligible candidates are rejected during scrutiny, and no other department will be allotted instead.
- Admission to the exam is provisional. A provisional selection gives no right to appointment.
- Exam centres will be in Delhi/NCR or other states as decided by the Board. Requests to change the date, time or centre are not accepted.
- Not allowed in the exam centre: calculators, mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, earbuds, electronic watches, cameras and metallic items. Shoes are not allowed. Wear light, half-sleeve clothes and slippers or low-heel sandals.
- The English version of the notification is final if there is any difference with the Hindi, Urdu or Punjabi version.
- The Board may amend the exam scheme or cancel or modify the advertisement. Corrigenda are published on the Board’s website.
Common Application Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying as OBC with an OBC (Outside Delhi) certificate that does not meet the notification’s conditions. Such candidates must apply as UR.
- Applying for Diploma-based JE posts without the required 2 years’ experience where the department asks for it.
- Using an OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) certificate issued before 1 April 2026.
- Checking age against the notification date instead of the cut-off date, 11 December 2026.
