DSSSB TGT Result and Cut-Off Marks by Post Code (Advt 02/2024)

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.

Last nominated cut-off marks, by post code, line and category

Each result notice ends with a table titled "cut-off marks of last nominated candidates" (for Drawing Teacher, "cut-off details of the last selected candidates"). It has one row for each department line and one column for each category, and the figure is the marks, out of 200, of the last candidate nominated in that cell. Where DSSSB printed NA, NIL, a dash or "no suitable candidate", we print "none". For Mathematics and Drawing Teacher the marks are normalised; for Urdu they are prorated (the revised notice No. 1592); for the rest we found no normalisation wording, and the Board says it normalises "if required". The Punjabi rows are only what the revised notice pages we read printed, so a Punjabi cell marked "not read" is a gap in our reading, not a DSSSB "none".

How to read a cell. A reserved-category cut-off is the last candidate nominated against that category's posts. A reserved candidate who scores above the last unreserved cut-off is shortlisted against unreserved posts, as the notices say, so a reserved cut-off can sit below the unreserved one by a long way, as OBC (Delhi) does in Sanskrit (72.76 for DoE Male against 117.08 for UR) and Mathematics (78.12 against 119.13). It can also sit above it: in Social Science the NDMC OBC cut-off is 164.00, higher than any DoE unreserved figure in that table, and DSSSB prints no UR cut-off for NDMC because the line had no unreserved post. The advertisement notes that "cutoff marks for selection in different categories may go higher depending upon the marks obtained by the candidates and number of vacancies in respective categories", which is exactly what the table shows.

General (UR) cut-offs side by side

The table sets out the unreserved cut-offs for the Directorate of Education only, male and female lines, with the NDMC line for reference. These are the numbers people search for.

Three patterns, all from the printed numbers. The posts with the fewest candidates per post, Urdu and Punjabi, close at about 80 to 95 marks of 200; against their posts they had the fewest candidates (our division of appeared by posts: about 2.5 for Urdu and 1.9 for Punjabi), and the Punjabi shortlist of 528 was smaller than its 556 posts. The big-field subjects, Social Science, Natural Science and Hindi, close at 147 to 159 for general candidates in DoE. And in Mathematics, English and Sanskrit, which were the largest quotas, the unreserved line closes between 117 and 134. Women's cut-offs are higher than men's in Mathematics, English, Natural Science and Sanskrit and lower in Social Science, Hindi and Urdu; in Punjabi they are about equal. Those are our comparisons of printed values, not rules.

Shortlist cut-off versus final cut-off

Before a result, DSSSB releases the marks and shortlists candidates to upload an e-dossier and a preference form; the notice prints a category-wise cut-off "for uploading of e-dossier". In every cell of this table the final cut-off is higher than the shortlist cut-off, which is what you would expect when not every shortlisted candidate ends up nominated (our reading). The table compares the unreserved figures for the Directorate of Education (our subtraction: final minus shortlist). It tells you how far above the shortlist line you needed to be: a few marks in the big fields and almost nothing for Punjabi, where DSSSB shortlisted fewer candidates than there were posts.

Among the large subjects the male gap is widest for Mathematics, English and Sanskrit (10 to 12 marks) and narrowest for Social Science, Natural Science and Hindi (about 5 to 8 marks). The widest of all is Urdu men at 14.41 marks (shortlist 80.15, revised final 94.56; the notices do not explain the difference), and the narrowest is Punjabi men at 0.08 marks, where DSSSB shortlisted 528 candidates for 556 posts.

Counts: appeared, shortlisted, nominated

The notices print how many candidates appeared in the online exam and how many were shortlisted for the e-dossier. The next table sets them beside the posts. "Shortlisted per post" is our division; it shows how wide the net was.

Two quirks in the printed counts deserve a flag. For Natural Science the shortlisting notice says marks of "24834 candidates out of 24831" appeared, while the main result says "24831 out of 24834"; we print 24,831 as the appeared count and flag the conflict. For Hindi the notice says marks of 14,219 candidates of 14,225 were uploaded but also that marks of "04 candidates" were withheld under court orders, which leaves two unexplained. For English, DSSSB says the marks of three candidates were not disclosed under court orders, and that of 1,545 shortlisted 1,513 uploaded an e-dossier, with the other 32 rejected for not doing so.

Dates: from shortlist to result

The e-dossier windows printed in the notices are 26 May to 9 June 2026 for English (804/24), 3 to 17 June 2026 for Natural Science and 4 to 18 June for Hindi, and 8 to 22 June 2026 for Mathematics and Social Science. For Natural Science the main result says the window was changed to 16 to 30 June 2026 by a corrigendum of 5 June 2026; we print both. Each notice says candidates who miss the window are rejected and no further chance is given, with a 48-hour window to report a technical glitch and three extra days if it is substantiated.

What happens after the result

The result is provisional nomination, not an appointment. Step by step, from the notices: DSSSB releases Tier-I marks and shortlists candidates; the shortlisted upload an e-dossier and a preference form ("at least one preference for a post", no change allowed); DSSSB allocates by merit-cum-preference only and does not check documents (its resolution of 14 July 2022); the user department, the Directorate of Education or NDMC, checks eligibility at document verification before an offer; and the DoE or NDMC issues the appointment letter. "There is no waiting list or reserve panel under Combined Examination", and vacancies left unfilled or arising from non-joining "will be carried forward to the subsequent year(s) by the concerned User Departments." Two result notices flag holds: for Drawing Teacher, two vacancies (one UR, one OBC) remain unfilled because of court cases OA 847/24 and 836/24, and for Sanskrit one UR female vacancy is held under an order of 18 August 2026 and NDMC nominated 4 of 5 UR posts.
