Alerts and Updates for DSSSB TGT Computer Science

Section B is the whole of the subject differentiation: the general half is identical to every other DSSSB teaching post code in this advertisement, so Computer Science candidates compete on the second 100 questions. Reports describe the Section B list as running to roughly 32 topics, which is wider than a school computer syllabus.

This calendar is common to every post code advertised under DSSSB Advertisement 03/2026, including Domestic Science Teacher, Special Education Teacher and the non-teaching posts; only the paper's Section B differs by post code. Check the DSSSB Exam Date page before acting on any reported date.

The commonest mistake among Computer Science applicants is preparing at the level of the class the post teaches. Post Code 41/26 is a Trained Graduate Teacher post for upper primary and secondary classes, but Section B is set at the level of the degree that makes a candidate eligible, and those degrees are BCA, B.Tech and B.Sc. Computer Science. Reports describe a Section B list of about 32 topics covering engineering-degree material, not a school ICT syllabus.

The Section B coverage reported for Post Code 41/26 spans Mathematics I to IV, programming in C, data structures, C++, Java and .NET, database management systems, operating systems, computer architecture, computer networks and network security, design and analysis of algorithms, software engineering, digital electronics, computer graphics and multimedia, internet programming, mobile computing, Linux, e-commerce and statistical techniques. It also carries business communication, financial accounting and business economics, which are BCA curriculum components rather than computer science proper. A B.Tech candidate who ignores the commerce-side topics and a BCA candidate who ignores digital electronics and architecture are each leaving marks on the table in a paper where a quarter mark is lost for every wrong guess.

Computer Science is the only teaching post in Advertisement 03/2026 that does not require a subject B.Sc. Reported routes are a BCA, graduation with Computer Science as the main subject in all years, a BE or B.Tech in Computer Science or Information Technology, or any graduation plus a DOEACC A Level certificate. That widens the applicant pool far beyond the other TGT subjects and means the shortlist is drawn from engineering graduates competing against three-year application-degree holders. The DOEACC A Level route in particular lets candidates from unrelated degrees enter, and those candidates carry the largest gap against the architecture, algorithms and mathematics topics in Section B.

Computer Science has historically been one of the higher cut-offs among DSSSB TGT subjects. For the 2022 cycle the marks reported for TGT Computer Science are UR 123.93, OBC 94.71, SC 107.93 and ST 66.29 out of 200. A separate DSSSB Computer Science result reported out of 196 marks gives UR 90, OBC 68.60, SC 64.75 and ST 58.80. The UR figure above 120 out of 200 is well clear of the 40 per cent qualifying floor, so clearing the minimum qualifying mark decides nothing here. A working target is roughly 130 raw marks, which with 0.25 negative marking means about 145 correct answers and tight control over guessing.

Section A is 100 of the 200 marks and is identical for every post code in the advertisement: 20 questions each of General Awareness, General Intelligence and Reasoning, Arithmetical and Numerical Ability, Hindi Language and Comprehension, and English Language and Comprehension. Engineering graduates typically arrive strong on the numerical and reasoning blocks and weak on Hindi comprehension and on Delhi and national general awareness. Because Section A is the half the subject cannot help with, a Computer Science candidate who scores 55 there has to find 75 or more in Section B to reach a competitive total. Allocating a fixed daily slot to Hindi and general awareness from the start is more valuable than a further pass over data structures.

The paper allows 36 seconds per question on average, and there is no sectional timing, so the whole 120 minutes can be moved between Section A and Section B at will. Programming output questions, SQL and normalisation items and algorithm complexity questions take longer than the average, while the language and general awareness questions take less. A practical split is 40 minutes for Section A, 70 for Section B and 10 for review. Negative marking at 0.25 means a blind guess among four options is break-even at best, so leaving a genuinely unknown question blank is the correct choice, while a guess narrowed to two options is worth taking.
