DSSSB MTS JE Recruitment 2026: 1,260 Posts, Apply 12 Nov to 11 Dec

DSSSB MTS JE Recruitment 2026 is out, and it carries 1,260 posts under Advertisement 06/2026. The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board published the notice on 6 November 2026. Applications open on 12 November at noon and close on 11 December at 11.59 PM, only on dsssbonline.nic.in. The fee is Rs 100, and women candidates and SC, ST, PwBD and ex-serviceman candidates pay nothing.

One thing to get straight before you do anything else: the form does not open today. Several sites are already showing an apply link, but the portal takes applications only from 12 November. If you open dsssbonline.nic.in now, there is nothing to fill yet. Mark 12 November, and use the days before it to check your eligibility and get your photo and signature ready.

DSSSB MTS JE Recruitment 2026 at a glance

The MTS posts are the bulk of this notice

Of the 1,260 posts, 1,075 are Multi-Tasking Staff. That is the part of this notice most readers will apply for, and it is also the simplest. The only qualification is a Class 10 pass from a recognised board. No experience is asked for.

The age limit is 18 to 27 years as on 11 December 2026, with relaxation for reserved categories under the rules. The pay is Level 1, Rs 18,000 to Rs 56,900 a month.

Most of the MTS posts sit in one department. The Directorate of Education takes 757 MTS (General Duty) posts and 239 MTS Aaya (Female) posts. The Aaya posts are for women only. Both Education Department posts sit in the Directorate of Education, and together they make 996 of the 1,075 MTS posts, so for most MTS applicants this is really an Education Department recruitment.

79 posts sit in smaller departments. Trade and Taxes has 26 posts, the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board has 20, Weights and Measures has 19, Land and Building has 7, Higher Education has 3, the Principal Accounts Office has 2 and the Chief Electoral Officer has 2. The qualification, pay and age limit are the same in each of them, so the department matters less than the post code. You apply under post code 810/26, and you give your department preferences later, when DSSSB calls for e-dossiers.

That preference step deserves attention. The notice says you must pick at least one department or post preference when you submit your e-dossier, and once confirmed it cannot be changed. If a department later finds you ineligible for the post you picked, your candidature for that post code is rejected and no other department is offered. So check the eligibility for each department you list, even though the headline qualification looks the same everywhere.

The category split across the whole 1,260 is 537 unreserved, 325 OBC, 181 SC, 94 ST and 123 EWS. The notice adds that the vacancy figures are tentative, since they come from the departments that asked for the posts.

JE Electrical pays differently in each department

The 185 Junior Engineer (Electrical) posts, post code 809/26, are split across five departments, and this is where the notice gets uneven. Delhi Transco takes 75, New Delhi Municipal Council takes 67, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi takes 26, the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board takes 14 and the Delhi Agricultural Marketing Board takes 3.

The pay is not the same in each one. Delhi Transco pays Level 8, Rs 52,000 to Rs 1,51,100 a month, the highest of the five. NDMC, MCD and DUSIB pay Level 6, Rs 35,400 to Rs 1,12,400. The Agricultural Marketing Board pays the old scale of Rs 9,300 to Rs 34,800 plus a grade pay of Rs 4,200.

Same post code, same examination, three different pay packets. If you clear the exam, the department you picked decides what you earn, so the preference order matters here in a way it does not for MTS.

The age limit differs too. NDMC allows 18 to 32 years. The other four departments cap it at 27. The qualification is a degree in Electrical Engineering, or a diploma in Electrical Engineering with two years of professional experience, though the exact wording changes a little from one department to the next. Transco accepts a degree or a diploma with no experience condition, while the Marketing Board asks for a diploma plus two years in electrical installation and maintenance work. Read the entry for your department before you apply, because the headline rule does not cover every case.

Fee, dates and the photo rule

The fee is Rs 100 for most candidates, paid only through SBI e-pay. Women candidates pay nothing, and neither do SC, ST, PwBD and ex-serviceman candidates. The fee is not refunded in any case, so check your eligibility before you pay. Applications go in only online, on dsssbonline.nic.in. The notice is blunt about this: forms sent by post, by hand or by mail are not accepted.

The dates are simple. The window opens on 12 November 2026 at 12 noon and closes on 11 December 2026 at 11.59 PM. The notice counts age, qualification and experience as on 11 December 2026. DSSSB also says to apply well before the last date, because the portal slows down in the closing days and no excuse about heavy load is accepted.

The photo rule is worth following exactly. The notice asks for a recent, clear colour photograph with a plain white or off-white background, full face and front view, eyes open. Applications with a blurred or illegible photograph or signature are rejected. If your photo needs resizing for the form, the exam photo resizer on this site sizes it to the standard exam specs. Keep the same printed photo ready too, because the Board asks for it whenever you are called.

What the exam looks like

Junior Engineer candidates face two tiers. Tier I runs two hours, with 200 questions for 200 marks: 100 on general awareness, reasoning, arithmetic, Hindi and English, and 100 on the electrical subject. Tier II also runs two hours, with 150 questions for 200 marks, all on the subject. Tier I only shortlists candidates for Tier II, and the Tier II marks make the final merit list.

MTS candidates face a single tier: 200 questions in two hours for 200 marks, split into five sections of 40 marks each, covering general awareness, reasoning, arithmetic, Hindi and English. The questions are bilingual in Hindi and English, except the language papers.

Wrong answers cost marks in both papers: 0.25 marks off for each wrong answer on a one-mark question, and 0.50 off on a two-mark question. The minimum qualifying marks are 40 percent for General and EWS candidates, 35 percent for OBC (Delhi) candidates and 30 percent for SC, ST and PwBD candidates. Ex-servicemen get a 5 percent relaxation in their own category, subject to a minimum of 30 percent.

The exam date has not been announced yet. DSSSB says it will come only through the Board website.

Before the form opens on 12 November

DSSSB has run other 10th pass drives this year, including a smaller Sweeper and Chowkidar recruitment under Advertisement 05/2026 that closes on 11 November. If that one fits you, its job page has the details. For this notice, the useful work before 12 November is short: confirm which post code you qualify for and read the department entry that matches it. Get a clear white-background photo and signature ready too. The form opens at noon on 12 November on dsssbonline.nic.in, and it closes at 11.59 PM on 11 December.
