Alerts and Updates for DSSSB PGT Engineering Graphics

The Engineering Graphics paper at a glance

The Engineering Graphics candidate answers exactly the same Section A as every other PGT applicant, and the whole subject-specific weight of the paper sits in Section B's 200 marks. Because the two post codes are separately advertised for male and female posts, the cut-off is struck separately for each, on a base of four and three vacancies.

Dates and windows

This calendar is common to the whole PGT recruitment: one advertisement, one application window and one examination cycle cover every subject, and only the individual examination day and the result date differ by post code. Engineering Graphics fell on the closing day of the April 2026 window.

What this means for your preparation

The commonest error with this post is assuming it is a drawing job for an art graduate, or alternatively that any engineering degree opens it. Neither is safe. The qualification reported for PGT Engineering Graphics is a Master's level award in Drawing, Fine Arts, Engineering Drawing or Architecture with a B.Ed, and that phrasing has only been seen on a coaching page, not quoted from the DSSSB advertisement. With seven posts across two post codes, the margin for a misread eligibility clause is nil.

Read the qualification clause before anything else

Every other subject in this recruitment resolves to a familiar Master's degree: M.A. English, M.A. Geography, M.A. Hindi. Engineering Graphics does not, because there is no common M.A. or M.Sc. in Engineering Graphics in Indian universities. The reported requirement spans Drawing, Fine Arts, Engineering Drawing and Architecture, which is a deliberately wide net covering M.F.A. holders, architecture postgraduates and technical-drawing specialists alike. That breadth is why the field is mixed and why rejections at document verification are the real risk rather than the written paper. Locate the essential qualification paragraph in Advertisement No. 01/2025 itself and match your degree nomenclature word for word before spending months on Section B preparation.

Seven posts means the cut-off is volatile

Four male posts under 03/25 and three female posts under 04/25 is a very thin base. On small post codes the qualifying mark is decided by a handful of papers, so it moves sharply from cycle to cycle and category-wise reservation can leave a single seat in a category. By contrast, PGT Hindi under post code 824/24 nominated ninety-one candidates and its unreserved cut-off clustered tightly around 226 to 228 out of 300. You cannot reason from that band to Engineering Graphics. Treat any circulating cut-off figure for this subject with suspicion unless it names the post code and the category.

Section A is half your controllable score

Section B is 200 of the 300 marks, but it is also the part where an Engineering Graphics candidate has the least published guidance. DSSSB does not put out a topic-wise Section B list for this subject, and none of the syllabus compilations surveyed for this page carry one, while they do carry lists for Hindi, Geography, Economics and Biology. Section A, at 100 marks across general awareness, reasoning, arithmetic and the two language papers at twenty marks each, is fully documented and identical for everyone. It is the one part of the paper you can prepare against a known specification, and on a seven-post code it is where places are won.

Work from the paper, not from a syllabus list

In the absence of a published Section B syllabus, past DSSSB Engineering Graphics papers circulate and are the only concrete guide to level and coverage. Build your preparation around the senior-secondary Engineering Graphics course that a PGT in a Delhi government school would actually teach, then add the teaching-methodology component that DSSSB states is part of Section B for every subject. Do not substitute an undergraduate engineering drawing textbook wholesale; the scheme describes Section B as post-graduate standard of the subject concerned, and the pedagogy questions are not in any technical drawing text.

Arithmetic of negative marking on a small code

At 0.25 deducted per wrong answer and 300 questions in three hours, four wrong answers wipe out one correct one. Reported good attempts across the April 2026 PGT papers were 175 to 210 questions, which means strong candidates left between ninety and a hundred and twenty-five questions untouched rather than guessing. On a post code with four vacancies, a hundred and twenty confident answers with few errors beats two hundred and fifty scattered ones. Decide your abandonment rule before the paper, particularly in Section B where you may not recognise the framing of a methodology question.

Common questions

What is the post code for DSSSB PGT Engineering Graphics?

Two post codes cover the subject: 03/25 for male posts and 04/25 for female posts, both under Advertisement No. 01/2025, which runs from post code 01/25 to 18/25 and is dated 4 July 2025. You apply against one post code, not against the subject, and the examination, answer key and result are all issued against the post code number. Both were examined on 17 April 2026. Confirm the code on your own application printout before checking any result list.

How many vacancies are there in DSSSB PGT Engineering Graphics?

Seven in total, reported as four under post code 03/25 and three under post code 04/25. This figure comes from coaching compilations of the advertisement rather than from a DSSSB page that could be read directly for this write-up, so treat it as reported rather than confirmed. It makes Engineering Graphics one of the smallest subjects in a recruitment whose April 2026 batch of post codes carried about 432 vacancies altogether.

What qualification do I need for DSSSB PGT Engineering Graphics?

The requirement reported by Prepp is a Master's degree in Drawing, Fine Arts, Engineering Drawing or Architecture, or an equivalent, together with a B.Ed. from an NCTE-recognised institution. That wording has only been found on a coaching site and has not been verified against the DSSSB advertisement, so it should be checked in the original PDF before you rely on it. The general PGT rule elsewhere in the recruitment is a Master's in the subject concerned with at least fifty per cent marks plus a degree or diploma in training or education.

When was the DSSSB PGT Engineering Graphics exam held?

On 17 April 2026, the final day of the April 2026 PGT examination window, which ran from 12 to 17 April across two shifts a day. Post codes 03/25 and 04/25 were both taken that day, alongside PGT Chemistry under post code 827/24. The response sheet and draft answer key followed on 19 April 2026 and objections closed on 23 April 2026.

Is there negative marking in the PGT Engineering Graphics paper?

Yes. A quarter mark, 0.25, is deducted for each wrong multiple-choice answer, and this applies across both sections of the single 300-question paper. The paper carries 300 marks over three hours, with Section A worth 100 marks and Section B worth 200. Reported qualifying thresholds are forty per cent for unreserved candidates, thirty-five per cent for OBC and thirty per cent for SC, ST and persons with disabilities.

Has the DSSSB PGT Engineering Graphics result been declared?

Not as of 22 September 2026. DSSSB has been releasing this recruitment's results post code by post code since July 2026, with Hindi under 824/24 declared on 9 July 2026 and further lists for History, Physics, Commerce, Chemistry and Sanskrit through August and September. No list for post code 03/25 or 04/25 has been reported. Watch the result section of the DSSSB portal against your post code rather than the subject name.
