DSSSB Junior Engineer (Civil) recruits JEs for Delhi government bodies — PWD, Delhi Jal Board, I&FC and municipal corporations. A Delhi posting, Level-6 pay and regular vacancy cycles make it one of the most sought-after JE exams in north India.
The exam is a single computer-based test where half the paper is general subjects and half is civil engineering. That 50-50 split is exactly why toppers here are the aspirants who kept their reasoning, GK and basic maths sharp alongside technical prep.

How to Prepare for DSSSB JE Civil 2026
- 1Section A (100 general marks) is where selections are made — technical marks bunch together, general marks separate ranks. Practise all five general areas daily.
- 2DSSSB reuses SSC JE-style technical questions at diploma level — SSC JE PYQs are a valid question bank for Section B.
- 3The 3-hour combined sitting punishes poor time strategy: fix a hard time budget (e.g., 80 min Section A, 90 min Section B, 10 min review) and rehearse it in every mock.
- 4Hindi and English sections are basic but ignored by engineers — 10 easy marks lost by half the candidates.
