DSSSB Non-Teaching Posts, Sorted by Qualification

The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) is best known for its teaching recruitments, but a large share of its work is non-teaching — clerical, technical and support posts across Delhi government departments, local bodies and autonomous institutions. These posts run from Class 10 level all the way to graduate and diploma level, and candidates routinely apply for the wrong ones because the notifications list many posts together without sorting them by who can actually apply. This guide groups the main non-teaching posts by the qualification each needs, so you can find the ones that are genuinely open to you.

For the current notification, post codes and dates, see the live DSSSB exam page; for Delhi government jobs generally, see Delhi vacancies.

How DSSSB non-teaching posts map to qualifications

DSSSB fixes each post's minimum qualification from the recruiting department's rules, so the same notification can carry a Class-10 support post and a graduate-level assistant post at once. The practical bands:

Read each post's row in the notification for its exact requirement — the bands below are the pattern, not a substitute for the post's own rule.

Class 10 level

The entry tier: Multi-Tasking Staff and similar support and Group D posts, which ask for a Class 10 pass and sometimes a specific skill (such as a conductor's or driver's licence for the relevant post). If your highest qualification is Class 10, these are the posts to watch — see all 10th-pass government jobs.

Class 12 level

The largest clerical tier: Lower Division Clerk, Junior Assistant, Stenographer and Data Entry Operator. Stenographer and DEO posts add a skill test — shorthand/typing speed for the stenographer, typing speed for the DEO — on top of the written exam. A Class 12 pass is the base, with the skill standard decided by the post. See 12th-pass government jobs for the wider picture.

Graduate level

Graduate-level non-teaching posts include Grade II of the Delhi Administrative Subordinate Service (DASS), Assistant, Patwari, Head Clerk and a range of welfare and administrative roles across Delhi departments. A bachelor's degree in any discipline is usually the base, with some posts adding a specific subject or a computer-proficiency requirement. See graduate government jobs.

Diploma and technical level

Technical non-teaching posts — Junior Engineer (Civil, Electrical, Mechanical), Pharmacist, Laboratory Technician and similar — require a relevant diploma or degree in the specific discipline, not a general qualification. A general graduate does not qualify for these; the engineering or para-medical diploma is the gate. See diploma-holder government jobs.

How to use this when you apply

Start from your highest qualification, find your band above, and shortlist only the posts in that band that you would actually accept. A higher qualification lets you apply to lower-band posts on paper, but DSSSB fills each post from candidates at its own level, so applying below your qualification is rarely worth it. Match the post to your qualification and your willingness to be posted into it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are DSSSB non-teaching posts only clerical?

No. They range from Class-10 support posts through clerical posts to graduate administrative roles and technical posts like Junior Engineer and Pharmacist that need a specific diploma or degree.

Can a graduate apply for Class 12-level DSSSB posts?

On paper a graduate meets the minimum, but each post is filled from its own qualification pool, so dropping below your level is rarely an advantage. Apply at the band your qualification matches.

Do stenographer and DEO posts have a typing test?

Yes — these add a skill test (shorthand/typing for stenographer, typing speed for DEO) on top of the written exam, and you must clear both.

What qualification do technical posts like Junior Engineer need?

A relevant engineering diploma or degree in the specific discipline — a general graduate degree does not qualify for them.

Are these posts only for Delhi residents?

DSSSB recruits for Delhi government and its bodies; residence or domicile conditions depend on the specific post, so check the notification's rule for the post you want.
