The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) has officially released the e-Admit Cards for various non-teaching, teaching, and administrative posts scheduled for upcoming Computer-Based Tests (CBT) and skill tests. Candidates who registered for Advertisement Numbers published in 2025 and 2026 can now download their hall tickets directly from the official portals at dsssb.delhi.gov.in and dsssbonline.nic.in.
The examinations are scheduled across multiple shifts running from September 1 through October 24, 2026. Because entry without a printed hall ticket and valid photo ID is strictly forbidden, candidates should download and verify their hall ticket early to avoid last-minute server delays.
The board conducts exams in up to three distinct shifts per day to accommodate candidates across different post codes. Check your hall ticket to confirm your assigned shift and reporting time.
