DSSSB Advt 05/2026 vacancy details
The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board issued Vacancy Notice No. 05/2026 on 9 October 2026 on behalf of the District and Sessions Courts, Delhi. It covers two Group C posts.

Each post includes one ex-serviceman vacancy. The total is 25, and the Board notes that the numbers are tentative and may go up or down.
Who can apply: qualification and age
Both posts need only a Matriculation pass or an equivalent certificate from a recognised board, with no experience. The age must be at least 18 years and below 27 years on 1 June 2026. Your date of birth is taken from your Class 10 certificate. Education and every other condition except age are judged on 11 November 2026, the last date of the form. Reserved categories get extra years on the upper age limit, and OBC benefits are given only to holders of an OBC (Delhi) certificate; OBC candidates from other states apply as Unreserved.
