DSSSB ASO Exam Pattern 2026

The DSSSB DASS Grade 2/ASO recruitment has a Tier-I screening examination and Tier-II main examination. Tier-I is used for screening, while Tier-II marks form the basis of the final merit list.

The published exam scheme provides 200 objective questions for 200 marks in Tier-I, with 40 questions from each of the five sections.

The Tier-I examination has a 0.25-mark deduction for every incorrect objective response.

DSSSB ASO Selection Process 2026

The selection process is structured around the screening and main examinations.

• Tier-I: Screening examination
• Tier-II: Main examination
• Descriptive examination: Wherever applicable under the prescribed scheme
• Final merit: Based on Tier-II performance as specified in the examination scheme

Tier-I therefore acts as the screening stage rather than the sole basis for final selection.
