Testbook reports that results were released in a phased manner from April to June 2026 across roughly 2,375 vacancies, with about 18 post codes still pending as of mid-May 2026 and six post codes held up by pending court cases, which is the usual cause of delay between a DSSSB exam and its result.</p>

DSSSB Assistant Teacher (Primary) paper at a glance

The primary-teacher paper is a single sitting with no separate subject test, which is the structural difference from the graduate and postgraduate teacher tiers. Half the paper is the general aptitude block and half is pedagogy and elementary curriculum content drawn from the NCTE framework. The qualifying-mark column converts the percentages in Advertisement No. 05/2025 to raw marks out of 200.

<p><strong>Source:</strong> <a href="https://delhi.gov.in/sites/default/files/documents/final-advt-no-05-2025-asstt-teacher-primary_0.pdf">DSSSB Advt 05/2025 PDF</a> &middot; <a href="https://dsssb.delhi.gov.in/dsssb/new-examination-and-interview-scheme">DSSSB Examination and Interview Scheme</a></p>

DSSSB does not publish a single annual primary-teacher exam date. It issues a notification of online examination listing the post codes scheduled in a window, then confirms the individual centre, date and shift only on the e-admit card. Treat any date circulating before the admit card as provisional.

The commonest mistake on the primary tier is treating the DSSSB paper as a smaller version of the graduate-teacher paper. It is not. There is no separate subject test, no second tier and no interview; a single 200-mark sitting decides everything, and half of it is elementary pedagogy rather than the general-studies material that dominates most Delhi government recruitment. The second commonest mistake is applying on a B.Ed alone.

The one-tier paper leaves no recovery round

Advertisement No. 05/2025 sets a single computer-based test of 200 multiple-choice questions over two hours, split 100 marks of general aptitude and 100 marks of NCTE elementary curriculum including teaching methodology. Because there is no second tier, a weak showing in one block cannot be repaired later, and the qualifying floor of 40 per cent for general and EWS candidates, 35 per cent for OBC and 30 per cent for SC, ST and PwBD is only a floor, not a selection mark. With 1,180 posts in the 2025 cycle against a very large applicant pool, the working cut-off sits far above the qualifying line. Two hours for 200 questions allows roughly 36 seconds per question, so the paper rewards recognition speed over derivation. Negative marking of 0.25 per wrong answer means a candidate who guesses at random across 40 unknown questions gives back marks rather than gaining them.

D.El.Ed, not B.Ed, is the qualifying route

The advertisement asks for Senior Secondary plus a two-year Diploma in Elementary Education or an equivalent qualification, together with a pass in CTET Paper I, which is the paper for classes I to V. TaiyarHo reports that following the Supreme Court ruling of 2023 a B.Ed alone is not sufficient for primary appointment, which is why graduates holding only a B.Ed are turned away at document verification even after clearing the written test. The maximum age is 30 years with the standard relaxations, up to 15 years for PwBD candidates who are also SC or ST. Candidates who hold both a D.El.Ed and a B.Ed should note that it is the diploma and the CTET Paper I certificate that are checked at the primary tier; the degree adds nothing here and matters only if they later apply at the trained-graduate tier.

Several school managements advertise through one paper

DSSSB is a recruiting board, not an employer. In Advertisement No. 05/2025 the 1,180 primary-teacher posts divide between the Directorate of Education under post code 802/25, with 1,055 posts, and the New Delhi Municipal Council with 125. Municipal corporation and cantonment board schools recruit on their own requisition cycles, so the number of primary posts open in Delhi at any moment is spread across more than one notice and more than one post code. Adda247 has separately reported NDMC confirming vacant PRT posts of its own. The practical consequence is that a candidate must apply post code by post code, since each carries its own reservation roster, its own vacancy count and its own merit list even when the written paper is common.

CTET Paper I, conducted by CBSE, must already be cleared when the application is made; the crucial date in the advertisement fixes when eligibility is judged. It does not contribute marks to the DSSSB merit list, so a high CTET score buys nothing beyond admission to the process. Where CTET does help is content overlap: the child development and pedagogy, language and elementary mathematics sections of Paper I map closely onto Section B of the DSSSB paper, so a candidate revising for one is substantially revising for the other. The mistake to avoid is the reverse inference, that a recent CTET pass makes Section B safe. The DSSSB section is explicitly tied to the NCTE curriculum and reaches further into methodology and school subject content than CTET Paper I does.

Both live primary channels have closed their application windows: Advertisement No. 05/2025 closed on 16 October 2025 and the Special Educator (Primary) post code 44/26 under Advertisement No. 03/2026 closed on 15 July 2026. Attention now shifts to examination notices and results. Testbook reports that DSSSB released results in a phased manner from April to June 2026 across roughly 2,375 vacancies, with about 18 post codes outstanding in mid-May and six delayed by pending litigation. The board publishes a consolidated notification of online examination listing the post codes scheduled in a given window, but confirms the centre, date and shift only on the e-admit card, so candidates should watch the notices and circulars section of the DSSSB site rather than relying on circulated date lists.
