DSSSB Forest Guard Result 2026: 572 Shortlisted for PET

Result Notice No. 212 names 572 candidates. The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board issued it on 4 November 2026 for the Forest Guard post under Post Code 41/25, and every one of those 572 names is a provisional pick for the Physical Endurance Test. The DSSSB Forest Guard Result 2026 covers 52 posts in the Forest and Wildlife Department, and the Tier-I written exam behind it ran from 7 to 14 July 2026.

If your name is in the list, the next stage is physical, not written. If it is not, the notice still matters, because it prints the full cut off table and the minimum qualifying marks, so you can see exactly how far off you were.

DSSSB Forest Guard Result 2026 at a glance

The arithmetic is the first thing worth noticing. 17,762 candidates sat the Tier-I exam and 572 go forward, which is about one in 31. Against 52 posts, that is 11 shortlisted candidates per post, so the physical test still has to cut the field hard.

The cut off marks, category by category

The UR bar sits at 179.58 out of 200, which is close to 90 percent. That is the number most candidates will compare themselves against, and it tells you how tight the top of this exam was. The EWS cut off follows at 173.26, only about six marks behind.

One row in the table breaks the usual pattern. The OBC cut off is 165.05, which is lower than the SC cut off of 167.76. Cut offs move with the pool in each category rather than with any fixed order, and here the OBC pool simply had more seats to fill, 181 shortlisted against 18 posts, while the SC pool had 60 shortlisted against 6. The Ex-Servicemen cut off of 121.73 is the lowest by a wide margin, with 50 shortlisted against 5 posts.

Bracketed candidates are part of the 572. That word covers candidates tied on the cut off mark, so the count includes everyone who scored at or above the line in their category, not only those above it.

The notice also prints the minimum qualifying marks, which are separate from the cut offs. UR and EWS candidates needed 40 percent, OBC candidates 35 percent, and SC, ST and PwBD candidates 30 percent. Ex-servicemen get a 5 percent relaxation in their respective categories, subject to a minimum of 30 percent.

Clearing the minimum only kept you in the race. The cut off decided who moved on.

How to check your Tier-I marks

The result notice itself carries no roll number list. It declares the shortlist count and the cut offs, and individual marks sit behind a login. Open dsssbonline.nic.in, sign in to your account in the OARS module, and your Tier-I marks will show there. Keep your registration details ready before you open the page, because the login is the only route to your score.

If the site is slow, try again after some time rather than trusting a screenshot from another website. The notice on dsssb.delhi.gov.in is the source, and the marks in your own OARS account are the only ones that count for you.

Provisional means provisional

This is the part of the notice most summaries skip, and it matters more than the cut off table. DSSSB says it collected no documents with the application forms, so no detailed scrutiny of eligibility has happened yet. Being in the 572 does not give anyone a right to the post. The board will check your documents later, and failing that check removes you even if your marks cleared the cut off.

The shortlisting is also subject to the outcome of pending court cases, if any. And DSSSB has reserved the right to rectify errors and omissions at any stage, so a correction to the list is possible even now.

There is one more rule in the notice worth reading closely. Reserved category candidates who scored at or above the last shortlisted UR candidate have gone into UR vacancies, and DSSSB will consider their final selection in the UR category subject to availability of vacancies, otherwise in their respective category. In plain terms, a high scoring reserved candidate can take a UR seat, and the category seat stays open for someone else.

The DSSSB Forest Guard PET date is not out yet

The user department, the Forest and Wildlife Department of the Government of NCT of Delhi, will conduct the Physical Endurance Test, not DSSSB. The notice gives no date, no venue and no reporting schedule. The copy of the notice went to the Deputy Conservator of Forests (Headquarters) for further action on conducting the PET, which is the office that will fix the schedule. Until that office publishes it, any PET date circulating online is a guess.

Watch dsssb.delhi.gov.in for the PET notice. That is where Result Notice No. 212 sits, and that is where the next notice will appear.

If you did not make this list, DSSSB has other drives still open. The board is running a DSSSB MTS and JE recruitment for 1,260 posts, with applications from 12 November to 11 December, and a Sweeper and Chowkidar recruitment under Advertisement 05/2026 that closes on 11 November. Both need only 10th pass or the trade qualification in the notice, so check them before the windows close.

Check your marks on the OARS portal today, then wait for the Forest Department to publish the PET schedule.
