606 vacancy under post code 804/26
The 606 figure is not the whole post code. It is the Services Department share after a corrigendum, and the distinction matters because the special link covered only that share.
| DSSSB ASO vacancy | Official record |
|---|---|
| Services Department posts | The corrigendum raised them from 576 to 606. |
| Category wise vacancy | UR 223, OBC 155, SC 101, ST 44 and EWS 83. |
| PwBD posts | 25 PwBD posts are included in the 606. |
| Total for 804/26 | 617 posts, adding DPCC 3 and DUSIB 8. |
| Special link coverage | The special link covered only the 606 Services posts. |
| Advertisement | Advt 01/2026 dated 20.02.2026, Combined Examinations 2026. |
Note: The corrigendum is dated 26.05.2026. DPCC is the Delhi Pollution Control Committee and DUSIB the Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board. The official post name is Grade-II (GNCTDSS) / Assistant Section Officer.
Eligibility for 2009 applicants
Two conditions decided eligibility, and the second one is the part candidates most often missed.
| 2009 applicant eligibility | Public notice |
|---|---|
| 2009 applicant | Anyone who applied under post code 90/09 in 2009. |
| Age limit | Eligibility ends on reaching 60, the retirement age. |
| Proof accepted | The 90/09 form copy, acknowledgement postcard or admit card. |
| False claim | False claims can lead to cancellation and debarment. |
| Fee | Eligible candidates paid no fee. |
Note: The age rule applies at any stage before appointment. The postcard must be the original, and the admit card can be for Tier-I or Tier-II of 90/09.

| Exam dates | The ASO exam runs from 21.09.2026 to 18.10.2026. |
