Here is the detailed information about DSSSB ASO 2026 Cut Off – Category Wise Marks, including eligibility criteria, application fee, last date, and direct official links.

The DSSSB ASO 2026 Cut Off for Tier 1 will be released with the result on dsssb.delhi.gov.in. Since the exam has not been conducted yet, official 2026 figures are not out. This page has previous year cut off data and an expected range based on vacancy count, applicant trends, and past paper difficulty. Last updated: 14.07.2026.

Official 2026 Cut Off: Not Declared — will be updated here after Tier 1 result is published.

DSSSB ASO Previous Year Tier 1 Cut Off (Out of 200)

Category	Cut Off 2024	Cut Off 2023	Cut Off 2022
General / UR	138.25	133.50	131.00
OBC	132.50	128.25	126.75
EWS	132.00	128.00	126.00

ST	112.50	108.75	107.00
PwBD	103.00	99.50	98.00

These are Tier 1 shortlisting cut offs — minimum marks to qualify for Tier 2. Final merit uses Tier 2 scores.

Section-wise Minimum Qualifying Marks

Section	General / OBC / EWS	SC / ST / PwBD
General Intelligence and Reasoning	Sectional cut off as per notification	Relaxed as per DSSSB rules
General Awareness	Sectional cut off as per notification	Relaxed
Arithmetic and Numerical Ability	Sectional cut off as per notification	Relaxed
Hindi Language and Comprehension	Sectional cut off as per notification	Relaxed

DSSSB typically does not publish section-wise cut offs separately — only the overall Tier 1 cut off is released. The sectional minimums are set internally for shortlisting.

Expected DSSSB ASO 2026 Cut Off

Category	Expected Cut Off 2026
General / UR	134 – 142
OBC	128 – 136
EWS	128 – 135
SC	118 – 126
ST	108 – 117
PwBD	98 – 108

Factors Affecting the 2026 Cut Off

Vacancies: 900+ posts — significantly more than previous cycles. Higher vacancies generally bring the cut off down slightly as more candidates qualify for Tier 2
Applicant volume: DSSSB ASO draws a large Delhi-NCR applicant base. The pool is competitive because the post is a permanent Delhi government job with good pay and posting stability
Paper difficulty: Tier 1 has been moderately difficult in recent years. Hindi and General Awareness sections tend to be the separators at the top end
Negative marking: 0.25 per wrong answer — aggressive guessing pulls scores down. Candidates who attempt carefully tend to outperform those who fill all questions

Qualifying vs Shortlisting Cut Off

The Tier 1 cut off is a shortlisting filter, not a final merit mark. Clearing it gets you into Tier 2. The final selection depends entirely on Tier 2 performance — typing speed, accuracy, or descriptive paper quality depending on your post code. Many candidates who clear Tier 1 comfortably do not make the final list because of weak Tier 2 preparation.

How to Target the Cut Off

The 2024 General cut off was 138.25 out of 200 — about 69%. In a 200-question paper with 0.25 negative marking, targeting 150 correct answers with under 20 wrong gives a score around 145-147. That is above the expected 2026 range with a reasonable buffer. Focus on Reasoning and English where accuracy is high, and be selective in GK and Hindi where random guessing is costly.
