DSSSB sample questions

A few real DSSSB questions with answers and step-by-step solutions, in the exact style of the full mock tests.

General AwarenessSample 1

Under which Article of the Constitution was Delhi given a Legislative Assembly, making it the National Capital Territory?

  • A.Article 239AA
  • B.Article 370
  • C.Article 356
  • D.Article 243

Solution: The 69th Constitutional Amendment inserted Article 239AA, giving Delhi (NCT) a Legislative Assembly and Council of Ministers.

General Intelligence & ReasoningSample 2

Pen : Write :: Scissors : ?

  • A.Paper
  • B.Cut
  • C.Sharp
  • D.Metal

Solution: A pen is used to write; scissors are used to cut — the relation is tool to its function.

Numerical AptitudeSample 3

Simplify: 15 + 45 ÷ 9 × 2.

  • A.25
  • B.20
  • C.30
  • D.13.3

Solution: 45 ÷ 9 = 5, then 5 × 2 = 10, so 15 + 10 = 25.

English & Hindi LanguageSample 4

Choose the correctly punctuated and grammatical sentence.

  • A.Each of the boys have a bag.
  • B.Each of the boys has a bag.
  • C.Each of the boys are having a bag.
  • D.Each of the boy have a bag.

Solution: 'Each' is singular and takes a singular verb, so 'Each of the boys has a bag' is correct.

About the DSSSB exam

A recruitment examination that selects candidates for a wide range of posts under the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi and its autonomous bodies — teaching posts (PRT, TGT, PGT), Junior Assistant, Patwari, Grade IV DASS, Junior Engineer and many more.

What is the DSSSB examination?

The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) conducts recruitment examinations for a very large number of posts under the Government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi and its autonomous bodies, local bodies and corporations. These range from teaching posts — Primary Teacher (PRT), Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) and Post Graduate Teacher (PGT) — to clerical and administrative posts such as Junior Assistant, Grade IV DASS, Patwari, and technical posts like Junior Engineer, among many others.

Selection is through a Computer Based Test that follows a one-tier or two-tier pattern depending on the post. The Tier I paper typically carries 200 marks: a common Section A of 100 marks (General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetical & Numerical Ability, and Hindi and English Language & Comprehension, 20 questions each) and a post-specific Section B of 100 marks. Because the paper has negative marking of one-fourth, accuracy and disciplined attempting decide the score.

How to clear DSSSB

Section A is common to most posts, so master it first: build steady General Awareness (polity, history, geography, science, current affairs and Delhi-specific GK), drill reasoning (analogy, series, coding-decoding, blood relations, syllogism), and make numerical aptitude fast (percentage, ratio, interest, mensuration). The language section rewards basic English grammar and vocabulary alongside Hindi vyakaran — paryayvachi, vilom, muhavare and comprehension.

Section B is post-specific, so study the exact syllabus in the notification for your post — for teaching posts this means subject knowledge and pedagogy. Because every wrong answer costs a quarter mark, attempt what you can eliminate to a confident choice and avoid blind guesses. Full-length timed mocks build the stamina and section-balance the CBT demands, and for posts with a typing or skill test, practise that separately so it is only a formality.

DSSSB eligibility & exam pattern

Check whether you meet the DSSSB eligibility criteria and understand exactly how the paper is structured and marked before you plan your preparation.

The DSSSB Tier I Computer Based Test commonly has 200 objective questions carrying 200 marks. Section A (100 marks) has five parts of 20 questions each — General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetical & Numerical Ability, Test of Hindi Language & Comprehension, and Test of English Language & Comprehension. Section B (100 marks) is post-specific and tests the subject or qualification relevant to the applied post. Each correct answer earns 1 mark and each wrong answer carries a penalty of 0.25 marks (one-fourth); unanswered questions score zero. Some posts follow a two-tier pattern and/or a qualifying skill or typing test where applicable. On ExamguruX, each question is scored +1 with a 0.25 penalty for a wrong answer, mirroring the real marking, and every question has a worked solution.

Duration: Computer-based test.

How to prepare for DSSSB

A proven, focused DSSSB preparation method — from building strong fundamentals to peaking with full-length mocks.

  1. 1

    Master the common Section A

    General Awareness, Reasoning, Numerical Ability and Hindi/English are common to most posts. Build these four strongly and you have a stable base across every DSSSB recruitment.

  2. 2

    Study your post-specific Section B

    Section B carries 100 marks and is decided by your post. Read the notification syllabus carefully — for teaching posts this means subject knowledge and pedagogy — and prepare it deeply.

  3. 3

    Balance English and Hindi

    The language section tests both. Practise English grammar and vocabulary and Hindi vyakaran — paryayvachi, vilom, muhavare, sandhi and comprehension — so neither language costs you marks.

  4. 4

    Respect the negative marking

    At −0.25 per wrong answer, blind guessing is costly. Attempt when you can eliminate to a confident choice, and leave questions you genuinely cannot judge.

  5. 5

    Practise with full mocks

    Take full-length timed mocks to learn section balance and pacing under the real clock and negative marking, and review the solution for every question you miss.

  6. 6

    Prepare the skill test early

    For posts like Junior Assistant or stenographer, a qualifying typing or skill test follows the CBT. Build that speed and accuracy in parallel so it is only a formality.

DSSSB scoring & selection

The DSSSB Tier I CBT commonly has 200 objective questions for 200 marks. Section A (100 marks) tests General Awareness, General Intelligence & Reasoning, Arithmetical & Numerical Ability, and Hindi and English Language & Comprehension — 20 questions each. Section B (100 marks) is post-specific. Each correct answer earns 1 mark and each wrong answer carries a penalty of 0.25 marks. Some posts have a second tier and/or a qualifying skill/typing test. The bands below are indicative — real cutoffs shift each cycle with vacancies and difficulty.
