Next Stage: e-Dossier Upload

|---|---|
| e-Dossier upload window | Active for 15 days, from 02.09.2026 to 16.09.2026, in the E-dossier module under the OARS link in each candidate’s individual account. The link is activated only for candidates falling in the consideration zone of selection. |
| Post preference | Every candidate must exercise at least one post preference. Preferences confirmed at the time of the online calling of e-dossiers are treated as FINAL and IRREVERSIBLE and cannot be changed later under any circumstance.

| Eligibility verification | The candidate must fulfil every eligibility condition as on the cut-off date 03.01.2024, as per Advertisement No. 04/2023. The user department checks eligibility against the Recruitment Rules and the other terms of the advertisement notice. |
| Final selection & department allotment | Made purely on Merit-cum-Preference. Once a candidate is allotted the first available preference as per merit, they are not considered for any subsequent preference, and no change of post or department is entertained afterwards. |
| Technical glitch relief | A candidate unable to upload because of a technical glitch in the OARS module may report it with supporting evidence such as screenshots to helpdesk-dsssb@delhi.gov.in. A 48-hour window after the upload period expires is provided for such reports; if the glitch is substantiated, an additional three days are granted. |

How to Check Your Result

- Open the marks section for Post Code 801/23 to view your Tier-I score out of 300 marks.

Note: Shortlisted candidates are also informed separately by SMS and e-mail on their registered mobile number and e-mail ID, but this is only an additional facility. Not receiving that message gives no right to an extension.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Leaving the upload to the last day — the link is open for only 15 days and no extension is granted on any ground.
- Not submitting a post preference, or assuming it can be changed later — the preference is final and irreversible, and a blank preference removes you from the final result entirely.
- Uploading an unsigned admit card — the notice specifically asks for the first page signed by the invigilator at the examination centre.
- Treating a shortlist as a selection — final selection is on merit against the notified vacancies, and 17 posts are currently withheld or reserved under court orders and department letters.
- Reporting an OARS technical glitch after the 48-hour window, or without a screenshot — such requests are not entertained.
- Typing www.dsssbonline.nic.in — that address does not open; use the bare dsssbonline.nic.in instead.
