Has the DSSSB ASO cut off 2026 been released?

No. The Tier I exam for Post Code 804/26 runs until 18 October 2026. DSSSB publishes cut-offs with the result on its official website.

What was the previous DSSSB ASO cut off?

In the Post Code 81/17 Grade-II recruitment, the normalised Tier I cut-off published in October 2019 was 146.35 for UR, 128.66 for OBC, 123.35 for SC and 117.34 for ST, out of 200.

What are the minimum qualifying marks for DSSSB ASO?

40% for UR and EWS, 35% for Delhi OBC and 30% for SC, ST and PwBD, with a 5% relaxation for ex-servicemen subject to a 30% floor. Shortlisting for Tier II is then done on merit.

Is the final DSSSB ASO selection based on the Tier I cut-off?

No. The Tier I cut-off only decides who reaches Tier II. Final selection is based on Tier II marks, followed by document verification and a medical examination.

DSSSB ASO Cut Off: Previous Year and Qualifying Marks

The DSSSB ASO cut-off is the lowest score that gets a candidate in each category through to the next stage of Grade-II (GNCTDSS) recruitment. Because Tier I is used only for shortlisting, the Tier I cut-off decides who reaches Tier II, and the final selection is made on Tier II marks.

The cut-off for the 2026 cycle (Post Code 804/26) has not been released, as the Tier I exam window runs until 18 October 2026. Below are the minimum qualifying marks and DSSSB's most recent official Grade-II cut-off, so you can set a realistic target. Treat past figures as a benchmark only.

Minimum Qualifying Marks

Category	Minimum qualifying marks
UR and EWS	40%
OBC (Delhi)	35%
SC, ST and PwBD	30%
Ex-servicemen	5% below their category, with a floor of 30%

These are DSSSB's standing minimums. Clearing them does not guarantee a Tier II call, because shortlisting is done on merit against the number of vacancies.

DSSSB ASO Previous Year Cut-off

The latest category-wise cut-off DSSSB has published for this post is the Tier I result of Post Code 81/17 (Advertisement No. 03/17), issued on 1 October 2019 for 266 vacancies.

Category	Vacancies	Shortlisted for Tier II	Tier I cut-off 2019 (normalised, out of 200)
UR	97	971	146.35
OBC	56	563	128.66
SC	24	240	123.35
ST	14	140	117.34
Ex-servicemen	48	481	80.77
Sportspersons	11	110	100.44

DSSSB shortlisted about 10 candidates per vacancy that year. Separate cut-offs were also published for the PwBD sub-categories. EWS did not exist as a category then, so there is no past EWS benchmark.

What Will Shape the 2026 Cut-off

More vacancies: 617 posts against 266 in 2019 means a deeper shortlist, which tends to pull the cut-off down.
A larger pool: The special window for 2009 applicants added candidates competing for the same posts.
Paper difficulty and normalisation: With a month-long, multi-shift exam, scores are normalised across shifts, so raw scores from different days are not directly comparable.
Category split: EWS seats and the revised vacancy split after the corrigendum change the competition within each category.

How to Set Your Target

Do not aim for a bare pass. A sensible goal for UR candidates is a mock score comfortably above 146 out of 200, with no section left weak, since Hindi alone carries 40 marks. Reserved-category candidates can work back from their 2019 figure in the same way.

The official answer key, result and cut-off for Post Code 804/26 will be posted on the official DSSSB website.
