Updates as of September 22, 2026
DSSSB advertises this post as PGT (Informatics Practices or Computer Science) under Post Code 15/24 in NDMC, not as a plain PGT Computer Science post. It sits outside the combined PGT block of post codes 824/24 to 834/24 and traces to Advertisement 05/2024, which is why its calendar runs ahead of the other PGT subjects.
DSSSB indicative syllabus listingPost Code 15/24 results are out. DSSSB Notice No. 315 dated 16 February 2026 published marks and called 10 candidates for e-dossier upload against three unreserved NDMC vacancies, with an e-dossier window of 19 February to 5 March 2026, as reported by Sarkari Wala Job.
Sarkari Wala Job (sole source for the notice detail)The e-dossier threshold was 160.50 out of 300, with 342 candidates reported to have appeared for the 22 September 2025 computer-based test. That is a comparatively modest mark for an unreserved shortlist and reflects a small applicant pool for this post code, as reported by Sarkari Wala Job.
Sarkari Wala Job (sole source)Eligibility for PGT Computer Science follows an engineering or computing route rather than a subject master's: a B.E. or B.Tech in Computer Science or IT, an M.Sc. in Computer Science or IT, or an MCA, from a recognised university, plus the NCTE-recognised training qualification required of all PGTs.
Prepp (subject-wise qualification)A separate upcoming DSSSB PGT vacancy round is reported to carry seven Computer Science posts within a 510-post total, but the notification PDF is described as not yet released, so the count and the post code for that round remain unconfirmed.

| Element | Detail | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Post code and title | 15/24, PGT (Informatics Practices or Computer Science), NDMC | Not applicable |
| Section A, general part | Mental ability and reasoning, general awareness, English language and comprehension, Hindi language and comprehension, numerical aptitude and data interpretation | 100 questions, 100 marks |
| Section B, Computer Science part | MCQs on the post-graduation or engineering computing qualification plus teaching methodology for the post | 200 questions, 200 marks |
| Duration and mode | Single-tier computer-based test, bilingual Hindi and English | 3 hours for the whole paper |
| Negative marking | Plus 1 per correct MCQ, minus 0.25 per wrong MCQ | Of a 300 maximum |
| E-dossier mark, 15/24 | Reported minimum for the e-dossier call, against three UR NDMC vacancies | 160.50 of 300 |
One caution specific to this subject. Some coaching pages describe the Computer Science paper as 200 questions in two hours, which is the Section B block quoted on its own. The scheme of examination for DSSSB PGT posts is a single three-hour computer-based test of 300 questions and 300 marks, of which the subject section is 200. Plan the sitting for three hours, not two.

The application window, fee and exam-schedule notice are common to every subject paper within a given DSSSB PGT advertisement. Computer Science is the exception in this family: Post Code 15/24 sits in the earlier NDMC advertisement rather than in the combined 824/24 to 834/24 block, so it ran on its own date, 22 September 2025, and finished its e-dossier stage before most other PGT subjects had sat their papers.
What this means for your preparation
The single most common error here is searching for the wrong thing. There is no DSSSB post called PGT Computer Science in the main combined advertisement. The live post is Post Code 15/24, PGT (Informatics Practices or Computer Science) in NDMC, from Advertisement 05/2024, and every notice, key and result for it is filed under that post code. Candidates who track the 824/24 to 834/24 series miss their own result notice entirely.
The post code is the whole game
DSSSB identifies candidates by post code, and this subject's post code, 15/24, does not look like the others in the PGT family, which run 824/24 to 834/24 for the combined 2024 advertisement or 03/25 to 10/25 for the 2025 one. The NDMC Informatics Practices post is advertised under the 05/2024 advertisement, numbered F.1(255)/P&P-I/DSSSB/2024/Advt./5253 and dated 5 March 2024. DSSSB also publishes its indicative syllabus as a separate page titled for Post Code 15-24. The practical consequence is that the exam calendar, admit card release and result notice for Computer Science are decoupled from the rest of the PGT recruitment. When checking the DSSSB results page, search the post code string, not the subject.
Three posts, 342 candidates, 160.50 to be called
Reported figures for 15/24 put the vacancy at three unreserved NDMC posts, with 342 candidates appearing at the 22 September 2025 test and 10 called for e-dossier under Notice No. 315 dated 16 February 2026, at a minimum of 160.50 out of 300. Two inferences follow. First, DSSSB calls roughly three candidates per vacancy to the dossier stage, so being shortlisted is not selection. Second, 160.50 is about 53.5 per cent, well above the 40 per cent unreserved qualifying floor but far below the near-perfect marks seen in high-density subjects. A small applicant pool, not an easy paper, is the usual explanation, and a candidate targeting this post should aim for the high 170s rather than the shortlist line.
An engineering eligibility route, not a subject master's
Computer Science departs from the science and humanities pattern of requiring a Master's in the concerned subject. The reported essential qualification accepts a B.E. or B.Tech in Computer Science or Information Technology, an M.Sc. in Computer Science or IT, or an MCA, from a recognised university. The B.Ed. or equivalent NCTE-recognised training requirement that applies to all PGT posts still applies, and that is where engineering graduates most often fall out: a strong B.Tech with no B.Ed. is not eligible. The reported upper age limit for unreserved candidates is 36 years with the standard category relaxations. Verify the exact qualification clause in the advertisement text, because NDMC posts sometimes phrase the clause differently from the Directorate of Education posts.
Section B is a broad computing sweep, not one specialism
Reported Section B coverage spans computer aptitude and number systems, hardware and software concepts including RAM and ROM distinctions, computer networks with bus, star, ring and mesh topologies, LAN and WAN, switches, routers, wireless security and ARPANET history, digital electronics with Boolean algebra, logic gates, Karnaugh map simplification, adders, subtractors and flip-flops, operating systems including MS-DOS, Windows and Linux variants, programming and object-oriented design across C, C++, JavaScript, PHP and UML, databases and web development with SQL Server, Oracle PL/SQL, JSON and the .NET, ASP.NET and ADO.NET stack, and distributed and grid computing. The breadth is the difficulty. A recent MCA graduate strong in one modern stack will still lose marks on digital electronics and on the older Microsoft web technologies, which remain examinable.
Historic Computer Science cut-offs ran high
Reported 2022-cycle DSSSB PGT Computer Science cut-offs were, for the male papers, 176.19 UR, 142.88 OBC, 145.68 SC and 102.71 ST, and for the female papers 185.59 UR, 155.08 OBC and 99.41 ST, out of 300. In the same reported set Commerce male UR stood at 148.96 and Economics male UR at 175.51, so Computer Science was at or near the top of the family. Against that history, the 160.50 e-dossier mark for 15/24 looks like the effect of a 342-candidate field rather than a change in standard. Prepare to the historic band. The gap between the two numbers, roughly 16 to 25 marks, is about the size of the digital electronics and networking blocks, which is where a broad preparation pays.
Common questions
What is the post code for DSSSB PGT Computer Science?
It is Post Code 15/24, and DSSSB titles the post PGT (Informatics Practices or Computer Science) in NDMC. It comes from Advertisement 05/2024, numbered F.1(255)/P&P-I/DSSSB/2024/Advt./5253 and dated 5 March 2024, not from the combined PGT advertisement that runs post codes 824/24 to 834/24. DSSSB publishes the indicative syllabus, admit card, answer key and result for this post against 15/24, so that is the string to search on the board's site.
Can I apply for DSSSB PGT Computer Science with a B.Tech or an MCA?
Yes, on the reported eligibility. The qualification accepts a B.E. or B.Tech in Computer Science or Information Technology, an M.Sc. in Computer Science or IT, or an MCA, from a recognised university. This is unlike the science and humanities PGT subjects, which require a Master's in the concerned subject. The NCTE-recognised training requirement still applies, so a B.Ed. or an accepted integrated route is needed alongside the computing degree. Confirm the clause in the advertisement before applying.
Is the DSSSB PGT Computer Science result for Post Code 15/24 out?
Yes. DSSSB Notice No. 315 dated 16 February 2026 published marks and called candidates for e-dossier upload, with the window running 19 February to 5 March 2026, as reported by Sarkari Wala Job, which is the sole source located for this detail. Ten candidates were called against three unreserved NDMC vacancies, at a minimum of 160.50 out of 300, from 342 reported to have appeared at the 22 September 2025 test. Verify against the DSSSB results page.
What is the exam pattern for DSSSB PGT Computer Science?
A single-tier computer-based test of 300 questions and 300 marks in three hours. Section A is 100 questions for 100 marks across five equal 20-mark blocks: mental ability and reasoning, general awareness, English language and comprehension, Hindi language and comprehension, and numerical aptitude with data interpretation. Section B is 200 questions for 200 marks on the subject and teaching methodology. Marking is plus one and minus 0.25. Pages that describe a 200-question two-hour paper are quoting Section B alone.
What topics does DSSSB PGT Computer Science Section B cover?
Reported coverage includes computer aptitude and number systems, hardware and software concepts, computer networks and topologies with LAN, WAN, switches, routers and wireless security, digital electronics with Boolean algebra, logic gates, Karnaugh maps, adders, subtractors and flip-flops, operating systems including MS-DOS, Windows and Linux, programming and object-oriented design across C, C++, JavaScript, PHP and UML, database and web work with SQL Server, Oracle PL/SQL, JSON, .NET, ASP.NET and ADO.NET, and distributed and grid computing. DSSSB also publishes an indicative syllabus page for Post Code 15/24.
Is there another DSSSB PGT Computer Science vacancy coming?
A further DSSSB PGT round is reported to include seven Computer Science posts within a 510-post total, but the notification PDF is described as not yet released and no post code, application window or exam date has been announced for it. Treat the figure as unconfirmed until DSSSB publishes the advertisement. The confirmed and completed cycle for this subject remains Post Code 15/24 in NDMC, whose e-dossier stage closed on 5 March 2026.
