What is DSSSB Teacher Recruitment?

DSSSB teacher recruitment is the selection process used by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board for teacher and education-related posts in Delhi government-linked departments and schools. DSSSB may recruit for Assistant Teacher, PRT, TGT, PGT, nursery teacher, drawing teacher, domestic science teacher, special educator and other post-code-specific teaching roles whenever notified.

DSSSB teacher recruitment is not the same as CTET. CTET is an eligibility certificate for many teaching posts, while DSSSB is a recruitment process. A candidate may have CTET but still be rejected if subject combination, age, qualification, post-code documents or e-dossier rules are not satisfied.
