Checked 7 October 2026. Figures are those printed in DSSSB Advertisement No. 02/2024 (vacancy notice dated 12.01.2024). DSSSB says they are tentative and set by the user departments. No newer TGT advertisement was in the Current Vacancies list (13 pages) on 7 October 2026; a new advertisement would replace all of it. Each result notice repeats the same vacancy counts, and none differs.
The number to use is 5,118 posts, and it covers nine post codes, not one. DSSSB's latest teacher advertisement for Trained Graduate Teachers is Advertisement No. 02/2024 (vacancy notice dated 12 January 2024, applications 8 February to 8 March 2024). It advertised eight TGT subjects, 803/24 to 810/24, with 4,591 posts, plus the Drawing Teacher, 811/24, with 527, which makes 5,118 in all. The same advertisement gives male and female teachers separate lines in the Directorate of Education, so a "Maths TGT" aspirant is in one of three pools: DoE Male, DoE Female or New Delhi Municipal Council. Below is the whole table, the post codes explained, and what the later result notices say about how many people competed for each.
The 5,118 and 223 are the grand totals printed in the vacancy notice. The category totals (2,897 UR, 724 OBC, 507 SC, 846 ST, 144 EWS) are also printed and our sums agree. Every row below adds up to its printed total; the page was built with that check.
ProSyllabus is an independent study site. We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board, the Directorate of Education or the New Delhi Municipal Council. Every rule below is quoted or summarised from their published documents, and every sum or ratio is labelled as our own arithmetic. We print no candidate names or roll numbers.
DSSSB TGT vacancy by subject and post code
The table gives the posts for each subject: the Directorate of Education (DoE) Male line, the DoE Female line, the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) line and the sum of the three, which is our addition. The post code is DSSSB's identifier for the subject across all three lines. Under the Combined Examination Scheme a candidate sits one paper for the post code and chooses departments later, in the preference form.
| Post code | Subject | DoE Male | DoE Female | NDMC | Total (our sum) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 803/24 | TGT Mathematics | 540 | 568 | 11 | 1,119 |
| 804/24 | TGT English | 413 | 379 | 11 | 803 |
| 805/24 | TGT Social Science | 129 | 179 | 2 | 310 |
| 806/24 | TGT Natural Science | 183 | 166 | 5 | 354 |
| 807/24 | TGT Hindi | 75 | 110 | 7 | 192 |
| 808/24 | TGT Sanskrit | 477 | 141 | 13 | 631 |
| 809/24 | TGT Urdu | 265 | 356 | 5 | 626 |
| 810/24 | TGT Punjabi | 248 | 307 | 1 | 556 |
| 803/24 to 810/24 | All eight TGT subjects | 2,330 | 2,206 | 55 | 4,591 |
| 811/24 | Drawing Teacher (not TGT) | 527 (one DoE line, no male or female split printed) | same line | no NDMC line (the second Drawing Teacher line is Department of Social Welfare: no requisition received) | 527 |
| All | Grand total (printed) | 5,118 |
Bar length is the post-code total, our sum of the printed department lines.
Read the shape before choosing. Mathematics (1,119 posts) is the largest line, Sanskrit (631) and Urdu (626) come next, and Hindi has only 192 posts across all three lines. English has 803, Punjabi 556, Natural Science 354 and Social Science 310. The Drawing Teacher line has 527. These are the numbers DSSSB printed in January 2024; the result notices of 2025 and 2026 quote the same counts.
Category-wise: how the posts split
The advertisement prints UR, OBC, SC, ST and EWS posts for each line, then the PwBD figure that is included in them. The next table adds the three lines of each post code, so it shows the whole subject by category. Our sums match the printed grand total of each category column.
| Post code | Subject | UR | OBC | SC | ST | EWS | PwBD incl. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 803/24 | Mathematics | 426 | 186 | 174 | 303 | 30 | 40 |
| 804/24 | English | 431 | 66 | 32 | 261 | 13 | 28 |
| 805/24 | Social Science | 229 | 32 | 28 | 13 | 8 | 18 |
| 806/24 | Natural Science | 209 | 61 | 26 | 44 | 14 | 28 |
| 807/24 | Hindi | 140 | 9 | 20 | 17 | 6 | 14 |
| 808/24 | Sanskrit | 464 | 128 | 24 | 10 | 5 | 31 |
| 809/24 | Urdu | 398 | 37 | 126 | 62 | 3 | 19 |
| 810/24 | Punjabi | 404 | 41 | 32 | 72 | 7 | 22 |
| 811/24 | Drawing Teacher | 196 | 164 | 45 | 64 | 58 | 23 |
| All nine | Grand total | 2,897 | 724 | 507 | 846 | 144 | 223 |
Segments are the UR, OBC, SC, ST and EWS posts as printed, summed over the department lines.
Two features of that split are worth a sentence each. First, the shares differ sharply by subject: in Sanskrit 464 of 631 posts are unreserved, while Mathematics and English carry large ST blocks (303 and 261 posts, our sums). Second, the ST column in Mathematics is 303 of 1,119, the biggest single reserved block in the whole advertisement, and DSSSB's later shortlisting notice for 803/24 reports 215 ST candidates called for e-dossier against it. A reserved post is filled only from that category's candidates in merit, so compare posts with candidates in your own category.
Male, female and NDMC: why the department lines matter
Delhi's Directorate of Education advertises male and female teachers on separate lines (the notice does not say why; Delhi has boys' and girls' schools, which is our reading of the reason); the notice prints "TGT (Maths) Male" and "TGT (Maths) Female" as different posts with different vacancies. That is why a woman with a Sanskrit degree faces 141 posts and a man 477, even though they sit the same paper. The NDMC line is small (11 for Maths, 11 for English, 13 for Sanskrit, 1 for Punjabi) and has no male or female split. It is not a side door: NDMC posts are filled from the same merit list, and in the cut-off tables in the result and cut-off guide, the NDMC cut-off is sometimes the highest of the three lines.
| Subject | DoE Male posts | DoE Female posts | Female as % of DoE posts (our division) | NDMC posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 540 | 568 | 51.3% | 11 |
| English | 413 | 379 | 47.9% | 11 |
| Social Science | 129 | 179 | 58.1% | 2 |
| Natural Science | 183 | 166 | 47.6% | 5 |
| Hindi | 75 | 110 | 59.5% | 7 |
| Sanskrit | 477 | 141 | 22.8% | 13 |
| Urdu | 265 | 356 | 57.3% | 5 |
| Punjabi | 248 | 307 | 55.3% | 1 |
Women get more posts than men in Mathematics, Social Science, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi, and fewer in English, Natural Science and Sanskrit. The advertisement also lets women apply without a fee and with a higher upper age limit, covered in the eligibility guide. Persons with disabilities must read the sub-category line carefully: the DoE posts are identified suitable for certain categories, and the NDMC posts are not always, as the shortlisting notice for Punjabi says in terms.
What the post codes mean
A post code has two parts: a running number and the advertisement year, so 803/24 is the third combined-exam line of 2024. In the notices we read, codes in the 800s are the ones advertised under the Combined Examination Scheme, where one exam serves several departments. Three consequences follow.
One code, one subject paper. Everyone for 803/24 sits the Mathematics paper (in several shifts, with scores normalised) whichever department they prefer. The preference form decides the department, and DSSSB's corrigendum of 19 February 2024 says allocation is "based on merit cum preference only" and that a candidate who submits no preference "will not be considered for any post in the final result". The year is not the sitting year: the 808/24 Sanskrit exam was held on 27 August 2025 and the 805/24 Social Science exam ran across November 2025, long after the 2024 advertisement.
| Code | Meaning | Advertisement | Is it TGT? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 803/24 to 810/24 | TGT Mathematics, English, Social Science, Natural Science, Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu, Punjabi | 02/2024 (12.01.2024) | Yes |
| 811/24 | Drawing Teacher (the vacancy notice printed 811/23; the corrigendum of 23.02.2024 corrected it) | 02/2024 | No, same advertisement and scheme |
| 801/25 | Court Attendant and allied posts, Delhi High Court (Advt 03/2025) | 03/2025 | No, not a teacher post |
| 802/25 | Assistant Teacher (Primary), Directorate of Education | 05/2025 | No, a PRT post |
| 56/24 | TGT Computer Science, Directorate of Education (result notices 333 and 375 are on the results page; we did not open its advertisement) | a different advertisement | Yes, but a separate recruitment |
| 33/23 and 20/22 | TGT Special Education Teacher, Directorate of Education (older recruitments) | earlier years | Yes, but not Advt 02/2024 |
Where other pages get this wrong
The "DSSSB 801/25 result" that many people search is the Delhi High Court Court Attendant post, not a teacher post.
Commonly published instead: Reading "DSSSB 801/25" as a teacher or TGT result, an easy mistake when the query is searched beside DSSSB teacher news.
Post code 801/25 is under Advertisement 03/2025 for Court Attendant, Room Attendant and Security Attendant in the Delhi High Court. The TGT codes are 803/24 to 810/24. If you are after the Court Attendant result, our guide on the Delhi High Court recruitment covers it.
How hard was each subject? Candidates per post
The shortlisting and result notices print how many candidates appeared in the online exam. Dividing by the posts gives a rough competition ratio (our arithmetic: appeared divided by the post-code total; it ignores category, department and absentees, and it is not a probability). The spread is wide.
| Post code | Subject | Posts (advertised) | Appeared (DSSSB notice) | Appeared per post (our division) | Exam held |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 803/24 | Mathematics | 1,119 | 25,276 | 22.6 | 6, 12, 13 and 14 November 2025 |
| 804/24 | English | 803 | 14,802 | 18.4 | 24, 30 and 31 August 2025 |
| 805/24 | Social Science | 310 | 26,945 | 86.9 | 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10 and 11 November 2025 |
| 806/24 | Natural Science | 354 | 24,831 | 70.1 | 6 and 7 September 2025 |
| 807/24 | Hindi | 192 | 14,225 | 74.1 | 17 and 23 August 2025 |
| 808/24 | Sanskrit | 631 | 6,281 | 10.0 | 27 August 2025 |
| 809/24 | Urdu | 626 | 1,573 | 2.5 | 13 October 2024 |
| 810/24 | Punjabi | 556 | 1,082 | 1.9 | 13 October 2024 |
| 811/24 | Drawing Teacher | 527 | 6,011 | 11.4 | 28 and 29 August 2025 |
Our division of the appeared count printed by DSSSB by the post-code total in the advertisement.
Social Science drew 26,945 candidates for 310 posts, about 87 per post, and Hindi and Natural Science about 74 and 70, while Sanskrit drew about 10, Urdu 2.5 and Punjabi 1.9. The language-literature posts with large post counts are the least crowded, which is not the same as easy: Section B is a subject paper, and the language postings ask for an honours degree or an elective in that language. Mathematics, English and Drawing Teacher sit in the middle at about 23, 18 and 11 per post.
Where the cycle stands on 7 October 2026
All nine post codes now have a result. Natural Science and Hindi were declared on 25 August 2026, English on 28 July, Sanskrit on 17 September and Social Science on 21 September 2026. Mathematics' cut-off page is dated 1 September 2026 and Drawing Teacher 25 June 2026. Urdu's first result notice (No. 1556) is dated 18 August 2025 and Punjabi's first result notice is listed beside it; both were later revised (Urdu notice No. 1592, Punjabi No. 131). There is no waiting list or reserve panel under the Combined Examination Scheme: the notice of 19 February 2024 says so, and each result repeats that unfilled vacancies are carried forward by the user departments. What a candidate gets next is a document check by the department, not another DSSSB list.
Our listing check on 7 October 2026 found no TGT advertisement after 02/2024: the Current Vacancies page (13 pages) lists later advertisements 01/2025 to 07/2025 (including 05/2025, Assistant Teacher Primary, and 07/2025, Multi-Tasking Staff), the PGT advertisement 10/2024 and 01/2026 to 04/2026, none for TGT. DSSSB has a Tentative Calendar page under its Combined Examination menu, but we did not read it for a date for the next TGT advertisement, so we print none.
Frequently asked questions
How many TGT vacancies are there in DSSSB?
Advertisement No. 02/2024 advertised 4,591 posts for eight TGT subjects (803/24 to 810/24) and 527 for the Drawing Teacher (811/24), 5,118 in all by the printed grand total. The posts are in the Directorate of Education and the New Delhi Municipal Council. DSSSB calls them tentative.
Which DSSSB TGT subject has the most posts?
Mathematics, post code 803/24, with 1,119 posts (540 DoE Male, 568 DoE Female, 11 NDMC). Next are English with 803, Sanskrit with 631 and Urdu with 626. Hindi has the fewest with 192.
What is the difference between 803/24 and 803/25?
The part after the slash is the advertisement year. 803/24 is TGT Mathematics under Advertisement 02/2024. A code ending in /25 belongs to a 2025 advertisement, for example 801/25 is the Delhi High Court Court Attendant and 802/25 is Assistant Teacher (Primary).
Is there a new DSSSB TGT vacancy in 2026?
Not in what DSSSB lists. We read all 13 pages of its Current Vacancies list on 7 October 2026 and the latest TGT advertisement is 02/2024. Advertisements 01/2026 to 04/2026 are for other posts. Watch the Board website and DSSSB online portal for a new one.
Are male and female TGT posts separate?
In the Directorate of Education, yes. Each subject has a Male line and a Female line with their own vacancies, and the result notices release marks and cut-offs for each line separately. NDMC has a single line per subject, and Drawing Teacher has one DoE line.
Does the vacancy count include posts for persons with disabilities?
Yes. The PwBD column is a horizontal reservation, so those posts sit inside the UR, OBC, SC, ST and EWS figures. The printed total is 223 across all nine post codes. They are not added on top of the category numbers.
Is TGT Computer Science part of this advertisement?
No. TGT Computer Science under post code 56/24 appears in separate DSSSB result notices and is not among the post codes 803/24 to 811/24. The eight subjects here are Mathematics, English, Social Science, Natural Science, Hindi, Sanskrit, Urdu and Punjabi.
