The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has initiated a fresh recruitment drive, inviting online applications for 279 vacant positions across multiple departments. The notification, released on the authority's official website dda.gov.in, outlines the details of posts that include roles ranging from Junior Engineers and Store Keepers to various support and supervisory staff.
The recruitment drive comes as part of DDA's regular hiring cycle to fill positions that have remained vacant due to retirements, resignations, and new project requirements across the authority. With Delhi witnessing rapid urban development and infrastructural expansion, the DDA has emphasized the need to strengthen its workforce to meet growing operational demands.
Eligibility criteria vary by post, but most positions require candidates to hold a bachelor's degree in the relevant discipline from a recognized university. For technical posts such as Junior Engineer, candidates must possess a degree or diploma in engineering from an accredited institution. A minimum of five years of experience is typically required for supervisory roles, while entry-level positions may accept candidates with less experience or fresh graduates depending on the specific vacancy.
The selection process will be conducted based on merit, with shortlisting likely to be done through a written examination and/or interview, depending on the nature and seniority of each post. Candidates are advised to check the detailed advertisement on the DDA website for subject-wise eligibility, age limits, and reservation policies applicable under government norms.
Application fees have been fixed as per standard government recruitment norms, with fee waivers available for candidates belonging to reserved categories including SC, ST, and physically challenged applicants. The last date for submission of applications has not yet been clarified in detail, but prospective candidates are encouraged to apply early to avoid last-minute technical glitches common to high-traffic government portals.
The DDA has also reminded applicants to ensure that all uploaded documents, including photographs, signatures, and educational certificates, meet the prescribed size and format specifications before final submission. Multiple corrections to applications can typically be made before the closing date, but once the portal closes, no further changes will be entertained.
