The Delhi Sub-Service Selection Board (DSSSB) has officially released the merit list for the recruitment of Trained Graduate Teachers (TGT) and Primary Teachers across Delhi government schools. The announcement marks a significant milestone in one of the capital's largest teaching recruitment drives in recent years, which saw thousands of candidates apply for hundreds of vacant teaching positions.
Candidates who appeared for the written examination can now verify their status by visiting the official DSSSB website. The merit list has been prepared based on the scores obtained in the competitive examination, and names are arranged in descending order of merit.
The recruitment drive was aimed at filling long-pending vacancies in Delhi's government and government-aided schools. Teaching professionals with a graduate degree and a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) qualification were eligible to appear for the TGT examinations, while primary teacher positions required candidates to hold a graduation degree along with a Diploma in Elementary Education or equivalent teaching certification.
The selection process involved a written test conducted earlier this year, followed by document verification for shortlisted candidates. Those featured on the final merit list will proceed to the next stage of appointment procedures, which typically includes medical fitness checks and final posting allocations across various districts of the National Capital Territory.
Education experts noted that timely release of these merit lists is crucial for maintaining continuity in classroom teaching, as many schools had been operating with temporary or contractual staff for extended periods. The Delhi government had previously emphasized that filling these teaching posts would help improve student learning outcomes across the state's public school system.
