📖 Selection Process & Exam Pattern – Detailed
The recruitment consists of two stages:
- Stage‑I: Objective Type (MCQ) Written Examination – 100 marks. Held on 16 Feb 2026. Questions covered General Intelligence & Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, and English/Hindi language. Qualifying marks: General – 50% (50 marks), Reserved categories (SC/OBC/EWS) – 45% (45 marks), Ex‑Servicemen – 45%.
- Stage‑II: Skill Test – Conducted by Delhi High Court. The nature of the test: Riding skill test (motorcycle) and possibly document handling/process serving simulation. Dates to be announced.
Shortlisting rule: Candidates scoring above the respective category cut‑off are called for Stage‑II at a ratio of 10 times the number of vacancies in each category. Hence, 12 vacancies × 10 = 120 would be the ideal maximum, but because of tie‑breaking and overlapping (some candidates from reserved categories also qualify under UR), a total of 170 candidates were shortlisted.
📊 Category‑wise Cut‑off Marks & Shortlisting Breakdown
| Category | Vacancies | Cut‑off (out of 100) | Candidates Shortlisted | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UR (General) | 07 | 87.24 | 80 | Includes some candidates from reserved categories who scored above UR cut‑off |
| OBC (NCL) | 03 | 82.14 | 64* | *One candidate (Roll No. 250541210001549) excluded due to age (born before 2.1.1995 after relaxation) |
| SC | 01 | 84.69 | 14 | 04 of these are also counted in UR |
| EWS | 01 | 83.16 | 30 | 19 of these are also counted in UR |
| ESM (within EWS) | 01 | 79.59 | 22 | 04 from UR, 01 from OBC |
Important note: The sum of category‑wise shortlisted candidates (80+64+14+30+22 = 210) exceeds the official 170 because of double‑counting – many candidates belong to multiple merit lists (e.g., an OBC candidate also figures in UR if their marks are above UR cut‑off). The actual unique shortlisted candidates are 170 as per DSSSB notice.
