DSSSB PGT Cut Off 2026: Previous Year and Category-Wise Marks

The DSSSB PGT cut-off is the lowest score at which candidates of a category are shortlisted for a post. Because the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board recruits Post Graduate Teachers post code by post code, there is no single PGT cut-off. Each subject has its own figures, often separate for male and female posts and for every category.

This page sets out the official cut-off marks DSSSB has released in 2026 for Advertisement 10/2024, explains how they differ from the minimum qualifying marks, and shows how to turn them into a realistic target score for your own subject.

Minimum Qualifying Marks vs Cut-off

DSSSB first applies minimum qualifying marks. Clearing them only makes you eligible for the merit list. The cut-off for your post code decides whether you are actually shortlisted.

The figures below come from DSSSB's notices releasing marks and calling shortlisted candidates for e-dossier submission. All marks are out of 300.

PGT Mathematics (Post Code 825/24)

Source: DSSSB Notice No. 357 dated 21 July 2026. "No cut-off given" means the notice lists no shortlisted candidate in that category.

PGT Physics (Post Code 826/24)

Source: DSSSB Notice No. 1617 dated 24 April 2026. This post had only five vacancies, all in the UR and OBC categories.

These are shortlisting cut-offs for the e-dossier stage. Final selection follows document verification, so the last selected score can differ slightly. Cut-offs for other subjects appear in their own post-wise result notices on the official DSSSB website.

What the 2026 Figures Tell You

• Actual cut-offs sit far above the minimum: UR candidates in both subjects needed more than 215 out of 300, almost 100 marks above the 120-mark qualifying floor.

• Male and female lists differ: Separate vacancies mean separate merit lists, and the gap between them changes from subject to subject.

• Few vacancies push cut-offs up: PGT Physics had five posts and the highest UR cut-off of the two subjects.

What Affects the DSSSB PGT Cut-off

The number of vacancies in your post code matters most, followed by the number of candidates who appear and the difficulty of the Section B subject paper. When a post is examined in more than one shift, normalisation can also move the final scores. Cut-offs change every cycle, so treat these figures as a benchmark only and aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass.

How to Set Your Target Score

Work backwards from the last cut-off for your category and add a buffer of 10 to 15 marks. For a UR candidate in Mathematics or Physics, that means a target of about 230 to 240. With 0.25 marks lost per wrong answer, 240 correct and 30 wrong out of 270 attempts gives 232.5, so accuracy matters as much as attempts.
