Why The Victory Key

Why our DSSSB course is different

Built from official papers, not guesswork.

We transcribed and topic-tagged 2,748 questions from 24 official DSSSB papers across TGT CS, PGT CS, Manager (IT), Technical Assistant, DEO and Craft Instructor exams, held between 2017 and 2024. Our notes spend the most time on what DSSSB actually asks.

Real subject-wise weightage.

Coaching sites copy the syllabus; we counted the questions. For example, in 12 TGT CS papers, Operating Systems (9.2%) and Computer Networks (9.0%) lead, and Linux commands is the single most-asked topic.

The right syllabus for your post.

DSSSB uses different indicative syllabi for different departments. The DoE TGT CS syllabus is a BCA-style list with Accounting, Economics, Maths and .NET. The NDMC TGT CS syllabus is CBSE-style and Python-heavy. We cover both, and tell you which applies to your post code.

Every past question solved, and the key checked.

Each previous-year question comes with a worked explanation. When the official answer key is wrong or the question is flawed, we say so and explain why. Dropped questions are marked.

Formula-ready notes.

Every formula (scheduling, paging, subnetting, K-maps, COCOMO, statistics, numerical methods) is typeset properly, with worked examples checked by computation. Code examples are compiled and run.

Bilingual, exam-first teaching.

Concepts are explained in Hinglish, with English technical terms as they appear in the paper. The notes are compact and table-heavy for fast revision.

TGT Computer Science

DSSSB TGT Computer Science Course: Exam Pattern, Syllabus & Weightage

DSSSB recruits Trained Graduate Teachers (TGT) in Computer Science for Delhi Government schools, mainly under the Directorate of Education (DoE), and also for NDMC and other bodies. The exam is a single-tier, 200-question objective test. Your rank depends mostly on the 100-question subject section, which also includes teaching methodology.

Programmer

DSSSB Programmer Exam Preparation: DUSIB Programmer (29/25) and Others

“Programmer” means different things at DSSSB. The DUSIB Programmer (Post Code 29/25) is a full computer-science post with a 200-question subject section. The DSCSC Programmer (Post Code 63/24) is a data-entry-type post with only a general paper and a skill test. Check your post code before choosing a course.

How to prepare

How to Prepare for DSSSB TGT/PGT Computer Science

Six structured steps built from our analysis of 2,748 official questions across 24 DSSSB papers.

1

Confirm your post code and its syllabus.

DoE and NDMC TGT posts follow different indicative syllabi. The DoE list includes Accounting, Economics and Maths; NDMC is Python-heavy.

2

Start with the highest-weight subjects.

For TGT: Operating Systems (with Linux), Computer Networks, Digital Logic, DBMS, Software Engineering, Web Technologies. For PGT: Digital Logic, COA, Web, OS, DBMS, C++.

3

Don't skip the “allied” subjects on DoE papers.

Commerce/Economics, Maths/Statistics, MIS/Knowledge Management and Numerical Methods together made up about 16% of TGT CS questions in our analysis.

4

Solve every previous-year question topic by topic.

DSSSB repeats concepts, and sometimes near-identical questions across shifts.

5

Practise under the real pattern with negative marking.

At −0.25 per wrong answer, accuracy matters. Take full mocks in 2 hours (TGT) or 3 hours (PGT).

Questions

DSSSB Computer Science: frequently asked questions

What is the exam pattern of DSSSB TGT Computer Science?▼

It is a single-tier objective exam of 200 questions (200 marks) in 2 hours. Section A has 100 general questions: 20 each on General Awareness, Reasoning, Arithmetic, Hindi and English. Section B has 100 questions on Computer Science, including teaching methodology. The 2023 and 2024 papers had 90 CS and 10 teaching-methodology questions. There is 0.25 negative marking.

What is the exam pattern of DSSSB PGT Computer Science?▼

It is a single-tier exam of 300 questions (300 marks) in 3 hours. Section A has 100 general questions and Section B has 200 subject questions, including teaching methodology. The 2021 paper had 180 CS and 20 teaching-methodology questions. There is 0.25 negative marking.

Which subjects carry the most weight in DSSSB TGT Computer Science?▼

In our analysis of 1,130 questions from 12 official TGT CS papers, the top subjects were Operating Systems (9.2%), Computer Networks (9.0%), Number Systems & Digital Logic (7.4%), Commerce & Economics (6.7%), DBMS & SQL (6.6%), Software Engineering (5.6%) and Web Technologies (5.1%).

Is Python asked in DSSSB TGT Computer Science?▼

It depends on the post. The NDMC-style syllabus is Python-centred, and the February 2024 paper had 22% Python questions. The DoE syllabus (for example post code 56/24) does not list Python, and the 2021 and 2023 papers had almost no Python. Prepare Python if your post follows the NDMC syllabus, or keep it as a secondary topic.

Why are Accounting, Economics and Maths questions asked in a Computer Science exam?▼

The DoE indicative syllabus for TGT Computer Science is degree-level and includes Financial Accounting, Business Economics, Business Communication, Mathematics, Statistics, Interpolation and basic Physics. In the 2021 and 2023 papers these allied subjects made up a significant share of the discipline section.

What is the latest DSSSB TGT Computer Science vacancy?▼

DSSSB Advertisement 03/2026 (dated 29-05-2026) notified TGT Computer Science, Post Code 41/26, under the Directorate of Education with 675 vacancies. Check the official DSSSB website for the exam date.

Is there negative marking in DSSSB exams?▼

Yes. 0.25 mark is deducted for each wrong answer in the TGT, PGT and Programmer exams.

What are the qualifying marks for DSSSB TGT?▼

Under Advertisement 05/2024, the minimum qualifying marks apply to Section B: 40% for General/EWS, 35% for OBC (Delhi) and 30% for SC/ST/PwBD. Final merit is based on the total of Sections A and B. Check the current advertisement for your post.

Is there an interview for DSSSB TGT or PGT Computer Science?▼

No. Both are one-tier written (computer-based) examinations with no interview.

What is the difference between DSSSB TGT and PGT Computer Science preparation?▼

PGT has twice as many subject questions (200 vs 100) and a different emphasis: digital logic, computer organisation, web technologies, C++, Visual Basic and multimedia feature heavily. TGT (DoE) mixes core CS with allied subjects like Commerce, Maths and MIS.

Which DSSSB Programmer post is a computer-science exam?▼

The DUSIB Programmer (Post Code 29/25) has a 200-question subject section in a 300-question, 3-hour exam. The DSCSC Programmer (Post Code 63/24) has only a general paper followed by a skill test.

Are DSSSB previous-year question papers available?▼

DSSSB has published several official question papers with answers marked, for example TGT CS 2021 and PGT CS 2018–2022. Our course includes all official TGT CS questions from 2017–2024 solved topic by topic.

Are DSSSB official answer keys always correct?▼

Not always. DSSSB itself dropped some questions for “discrepancy”. In our review of TGT CS questions, we flagged 16 official answers as likely wrong and 34 questions as flawed or ambiguous, each with an explanation.

Which books are commonly used for DSSSB TGT/PGT Computer Science?▼

Aspirants commonly use exam guides such as Kiran's DSSSB TGT/PGT Computer Science guide and YCT solved papers, along with standard textbooks for depth. Our notes are built to cover what the official papers actually ask, subject by subject.
