DSSSB Junior Assistant exam pattern at a glance

Tier I mark split and paper language

The advertisement gives Hindi and English for the general parts of the paper. A language section uses the language being tested. Practise a test interface with a review list, so you can return to flagged questions during a second pass.

Scoring, minimums and normalisation

Each wrong MCQ costs 0.25 marks. With 150 correct, 28 wrong and 22 unattempted answers in a practice set, the raw score is 143. DSSSB can use normalised scores where required and can prorate marks for invalid questions, so the raw result from a mock is a practice measure.

DSSSB Result Notice No. 144 gives the distinct category shortlisting marks. Use the DSSSB Junior Assistant cut-off guide to compare the minimum and actual Tier I shortlist.

Typing and department allotment

The Services Department Grade IV/Junior Assistant row requires 35 words per minute in English or 30 words per minute in Hindi on a computer. Check the DSSSB typing-test instructions and your call letter for the language, timing and test-day conditions. Other posts under the combined code can have different skill requirements.

At the e-dossier stage, DSSSB takes detailed department preferences. The board makes the final allotment based on merit and preferences subject to eligibility. Before confirming preferences, match every department you choose to its recruitment rule and gather the evidence you would use to support it.

Time the written paper in two passes

The average for the written paper is 36 seconds per question. Begin with items you can solve accurately and flag long arithmetic or uncertain reasoning questions. Reserve time to review flagged questions and check units, negative signs and answer choices. Use the DSSSB Junior Assistant mock-test plan on Testkart to compare two timing splits across several attempts.
