DSSSB TGT Cut Off 2026: Previous Year Marks and Trends
The DSSSB TGT cut off is the lowest score at which candidates in a post were shortlisted for e-dossier and document verification. The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) releases it post-wise with each result notice, out of 200 marks, so TGT Mathematics (Male) and TGT Mathematics (Female) get separate cut-offs.
This page separates the fixed minimum qualifying marks from the actual cut-off, lists previous cut-offs, explains why they vary so much between posts and shows how to set a target for the exams under Advertisements 06/2025 and 03/2026. No cut-off has been released yet for these two advertisements.
Minimum Qualifying Marks vs Cut-off
DSSSB applies its minimum qualifying marks only to Section B, the 100-mark subject section. Section A has no minimum, but marks from both sections are added for the merit list.
Category | Minimum in Section B | Marks out of 100 |
|---|---|---|
UR / EWS | 40% | 40 |
OBC (Delhi) | 35% | 35 |
SC / ST / PwBD | 30% | 30 |
Ex-Servicemen | 5% relaxation within own category, minimum 30% | As per category |
Clearing these marks only makes you eligible for merit. The real cut-off depends on vacancies and on how other candidates score, and it is usually much higher.

The figures below are reported cut-offs out of 200 from an earlier TGT cycle, published around 2022. Use them to understand the range, and confirm the figure for your post in the official result notice.
Post | UR | OBC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|
TGT Computer Science | 123.93 | 94.71 | 107.93 | 66.29 |
TGT Natural Science (Female) | 123.06 | 112.24 | 88.07 | 62.16 |
TGT Natural Science (Male) | 108.15 | 70.50 | 86.09 | 73.55 |

TGT Special Education Teacher | 80.10 | 70.15 | 60.20 | 60.97 |
DSSSB has also released post-wise TGT results in 2026 for earlier advertisements. Each notice in the results section lists the category-wise cut-off for its post code, so check the latest one for your subject before setting a target.
What the Numbers Show
Your post code matters more than your subject: Female posts in English and Natural Science closed well above the male posts of the same subject.
Category order is not fixed: In TGT Computer Science, the SC cut-off was higher than the OBC cut-off. Do not assume a reserved category will always need fewer marks.
The spread is wide: UR cut-offs ran from about 80 to 124 out of 200, depending on the post.
What Affects the DSSSB TGT Cut-off
The main factors are the number of vacancies in each post code and category, the number of candidates, the difficulty of the Section B paper and score normalisation when an exam runs over several shifts. A large post such as TGT Computer Science under Advertisement 03/2026 can still have a high cut-off if many strong candidates apply.
How to Set Your Target Score
Cut-offs change every cycle with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants. Treat previous figures as a benchmark only, and aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass.
Set a margin: Aim 10 to 15 marks above the highest recent UR cut-off for your post in your mock scores.
Protect Section B: Falling below the Section B minimum removes you from merit, however strong your Section A is.
Track the trend, not one score: Compare your net score across several full-length mocks against your target.
Results are published on the official DSSSB website.
