Previous Year Cutoffs — Tier I (2022)
Tier-I scores decided who was provisionally shortlisted to appear in Tier-II. From Tier-I (2022), 4284 candidates were provisionally shortlisted based on category cutoffs.
| Category | DSSSB JE Cut Off 2022 (Tier-I) (out of 200) |

| UR | 114.15 |
| EWS | 84.73 |

| SC | 91.70 |
| ST | 99.92 |
| PwD (Combined) | 60.05 |
| ExSM | 63.33 |
These are the official Tier-I cutoffs used to shortlist candidates for Tier-II. If you cleared these in 2022 you were among the provisional selectees for the next stage.
Previous Year Cutoffs — Tier II (2023) Department-wise
Tier-II cutoffs vary by department because demand and vacancies differ. The table below shows department-wise cutoffs for the last provisionally nominated candidates in Tier-II (2023).
| Department | UR | EWS | OBC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MCD | 127.84 | 124.27 | 86.43 | 116.35 | 121.92 |
| DAMB | 122.83 | 117.89 | 86.21 | 108.42 | 118.09 |
| DUSIB | 124.03 | 119.84 | - | 110.16 | 119.58 |
| DTL | 124.67 | 133.39 | 86.74 | 114.12 | 124.11 |
| DSIIDC | 128.82 | 123.55 | 91.38 | 110.64 | 119.22 |
| I & FC | 121.53 | 118.79 | 107.14 | 109.57 | 117.31 |
| DTC | 126.73 | - | 89.87 | 108.44 | - |
Note the blank cells ("-") where the last provisionally nominated candidate’s slot was not applicable or not filled for that department-category combination.
Minimum Qualifying Marks & Relaxations
The official notification sets the minimum qualifying marks you must attain to be considered qualified. These are separate from cutoffs and apply to all candidates.
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks |
|---|---|
| General / EWS | 40% |
| OBC (Delhi) | 35% |
| SC / ST / PH (PwBD) | 30% |
Ex-servicemen get a 5% relaxation in their respective category but the score must be at least 30% . So ExSM candidates benefit from the relaxation only if it does not take them below the 30% floor.
How Cutoffs Are Determined — Factors to Consider
Cutoffs are not random. DSSSB sets them based on measurable factors and the board’s shortlisting needs.
- Vacancy count (281) versus the number of candidates who appeared. More applicants usually push cutoffs up.
- Exam difficulty. Easier papers typically raise cutoffs; tougher papers lower them.
- Category-wise distribution of candidates and reserved seats affects cutoffs for each category.
- Department demand and number of posts per department cause large differences in Tier-II cutoffs.
- Previous year trends provide a baseline, but each cycle can change based on the above.
Official details on normalization or tie-break rules were not published in the available result PDF. If those rules matter to you, check the full notification or the board’s website for any later clarifications.
What This Means for Candidates — Target Scores & Shortlisting Strategy
Use past cutoffs to set realistic targets. The Tier-I UR cutoff of 114.15/200 is your baseline for 2022. Aim higher than the previous cutoff to stay safe.
Suggested approach for setting targets:
- For UR candidates aiming for Tier-I: treat 114.15 as the minimum benchmark. Try to target at least 10–15 marks above it to account for year-to-year shifts.
- For reserved categories, target at or slightly above the last published cutoff for your category. Departmental Tier-II cutoffs are usually higher; plan accordingly if you prefer some departments over others.
- If you expect to compete for high-demand departments (MCD, DSIIDC, DTC), study the Tier-II department-wise cutoffs and treat those numbers as stretch targets.
Study and exam strategy:
- Prioritise topics based on weightage and past papers. Focus on high-yield civil engineering topics for JE (Civil).
- Simulate full-length Tier-I tests under timed conditions to build speed. Tier-I shortlisting depends on raw score, so accuracy plus speed matters.
- For Tier-II, practice department-specific problems and previous Tier-II papers where available. Department cutoffs are higher, so depth matters.
- Take regular mock tests and review mistakes immediately. Targeted revision beats random study.
Normalization, Tie-break and Document Verification — What You Need to Know
The official PDFs provided cutoffs and results but did not include an explicit normalization method in the materials referenced here. Tie-break rules and normalization procedures are sometimes published separately in the detailed notification or clarifications.
Action for you:
- Keep checking the official DSSSB website for any addenda on normalization or tie-break rules.
- Preserve your downloaded result PDF and note the timestamp. If the board issues clarifications, you’ll have the original file for comparison.
Coverage Gaps & What to Watch For
The following items were not available in the published material and you should not assume them:
- There are no official predicted or expected cutoffs for 2026 beyond the published previous-year numbers.
- The official PDF did not include a department-wise reservation seat breakup or detailed vacancy distribution by category in the material referenced here.
- Fee structure, application fee details, and any later corrigenda were not part of the released cutoff PDF.
What to do:
- Check the full recruitment notification on the official site for vacancy breakup, fee details, and reservation distributions.
- Watch the result tab for any further PDFs or corrigenda that explain normalization/tie-break rules.
Useful Resources & Next Steps
- Download and save the official cutoffs PDF from the DSSSB result tab. This is your primary document for any future reference.
- Compare the department-wise Tier-II cutoffs if you have department preferences. That helps prioritise which department to accept if you get multiple offers.
- Set clear weekly goals: topic lists, mocks, and revision slots. Track performance numerically against past cutoffs.
- Subscribe or set a browser alert for the DSSSB result page to catch any corrigenda or schedule changes quickly.
