The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) has released Advertisement No. 05/2026 for recruitment of Sweeper / Safai Karamchari and Chowkidar posts in the District & Sessions Courts, Delhi. There are 25 vacancies in total, and the only educational requirement is a Class 10 (Matriculation) pass. Applications are accepted online only, from 13 October 2026 to 11 November 2026.

Important Dates

Vacancy Details

There are no seats reserved for PwBD or MSP in this notice, although both posts are identified as suitable for several PwBD sub-categories, so eligible PwBD candidates can still apply and get age relaxation. All vacancies are Group C and are tentative, which means the number may increase or decrease.

Eligibility Criteria

Nationality

Only Indian citizens can apply.

Educational Qualification

For both posts, you need a Matriculation (10th) pass or equivalent from a recognised board. No experience is required, and there is no desirable qualification. You must have this qualification by 11.11.2026.

Age Limit

You must be at least 18 years old and must not have reached 27 years on 01.06.2026. That means you must be born between 02.06.1999 and 01.06.2008 (both dates included). Your date of birth will be taken only from your 10th certificate.

Age Relaxation

Application Fee

The fee can be paid only through SBI e-Pay, and it is not refundable. Ex-Servicemen who already hold a regular civil government job obtained through ESM reservation do not get the fee exemption.

Pay Scale

Both posts carry a pay scale of ₹5,200 – 20,200 + Grade Pay ₹2,000 (Group C).

Exam Pattern & Selection Process

Selection for both posts is done in two stages:

1. Objective / MCQ Test (100 marks), conducted by DSSSB
2. Interview (15 marks), conducted by the Office of the Principal District & Sessions Judge (HQs), Delhi

MCQ Test Pattern

• Duration: 120 minutes (160 minutes for PwD candidates)
• Negative marking: 0.25 marks for each wrong answer
• Language: Bilingual (English and Hindi), except the English and Hindi language sections
• Shortlisting for interview: up to 10 times the number of vacancies; all candidates tied at the cut-off are called

Minimum Qualifying Marks (MCQ Test)

There are no minimum qualifying marks in the interview. The final merit list is prepared by the District & Sessions Courts, Tis Hazari, based on combined MCQ and interview marks. If two candidates have equal marks, the older candidate is ranked higher. If the scores are normalised across shifts, DSSSB's standard deviation-based formula will be used.
