DSSSB Cutoff 2026: Check Expected and Previous Year Cutoff
DSSSB 2026 cut off will be released by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) after the completion of the examination process. The cut off will be published on the official website of DSSSB in a PDF format, showing the category-wise minimum marks required for selection in each post. Candidates will be able to check the cut off by visiting the board’s website and downloading the result or cut off notice. It will be announced separately for different posts and categories, and only those who score equal to or more than the prescribed cut off will qualify for the next stage of the selection process.
Factors Determining DSSSB 2026 Cut Off
The cut off marks in DSSSB 2026 are not fixed in advance. They are decided after the exam based on several factors, such as:
- Number of Vacancies: If the number of vacancies is high, the cut off usually remains lower. With fewer vacancies, the competition increases and the cut off goes higher.
- Number of Candidates Appearing: A large number of candidates leads to higher competition, which often pushes the cut off marks upward.
- Difficulty Level of the Exam: If the question paper is tough, the overall performance of candidates decreases and the cut off comes down. If the paper is easier, the cut off goes higher.
- Candidate Performance: The average performance of candidates in the exam also directly impacts the cut off. Better overall scores raise the cut off, while lower scores reduce it.
- Category-wise Reservation: Separate cut offs are released for different categories (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD, Ex-servicemen), which depend on the number of applicants and vacancies in each category.
- Normalization of Marks: Since DSSSB exams are conducted in multiple shifts, marks are normalized. This process can also affect the final cut off.
DSSSB 2026 Minimum Qualifying Marks
To ensure fairness in the selection process, DSSSB has fixed minimum qualifying marks for different categories of candidates. These are the least marks that a candidate must score in the written examination to be considered for further stages. The qualifying marks vary by category, ensuring equal opportunity for all applicants.
Note: Ex-Servicemen: 5% relaxation in their respective categories, subject to a minimum of 30%
DSSSB Expected Cutoff 2026
The expected cutoff for DSSSB exams in 2026 is subjective. It can vary depending on different factors such as:
- The difficulty level of the exam
- The number of candidates appearing for the exam
- The category of the candidates.
- Difficulty level of the exam.
