Covers five sections — each carrying 20 marks.

Geography, History, Economics

Culture, Sports, Art & Literature

Example for Social Science TGT:
If applying for Social Science, you must have studied any one of these subjects for at least two years during graduation:

• History
• Political Science

• Basic Pay: ₹44,900 – ₹1,42,400
• Grade Pay: ₹4,600

Mode of Examination & Dress Code

• Exam Mode: Online (CBT) only in Delhi-NCR centres
• Normalization: Applied in case of multiple shifts
• Dress Code:
  DSSSB has strict dress code rules for examination centres:
  • Light-coloured clothes with half sleeves (no big buttons, brooches, or metal items)
  • Simple footwear — only sandals or slippers allowed (no shoes)

This ensures transparency and prevents unfair practices during exams.

Tips to Crack DSSSB TGT Exam 2025

1. Understand the Syllabus Thoroughly:
   Go through previous years’ question papers to know what DSSSB focuses on.
2. Master Your Subject (Part B):
   Since 50% of the paper is subject-specific, prioritize in-depth conceptual clarity.
3. Balance Between Speed and Accuracy:
   The negative marking of 0.25 can affect your score. Attempt wisely.
4. CTET Advantage:
   If you’ve recently cleared CTET Paper 2, revise pedagogy concepts — they often help in DSSSB’s subject teaching questions.
5. Mock Tests & Revision:
   Take as many online mock tests as possible to get comfortable with the CBT format.
6. Focus on Current Affairs:
   Many DSSSB aspirants lose marks in GK due to outdated preparation. Read daily news or monthly current affairs compilations.
