The DSSSB notifications always seem to show up when people are waiting for some good news, and this year’s MTS Recruitment 2026 came in the same way — quietly at first, and then suddenly everywhere once the details went live. It’s a straightforward recruitment, but the number of posts and the eligibility criteria make it one of those opportunities that a lot of candidates don’t want to miss.

The board has announced 714 vacancies for the post of Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS). These positions are spread across different departments under the Delhi government. MTS work isn’t complicated in terms of qualifications or skill level — it’s more about day-to-day support tasks, basic office responsibilities, and helping departments run smoothly. That’s probably why this recruitment draws so many applicants every year. It’s accessible, stable, and government-backed.

The timeline is simple enough. The application window opens on 17 December 2025, and the last date to submit the form is 15 January 2026. DSSSB rarely extends deadlines, so most people try to get their form in early instead of waiting until the final night when the portal usually gets flooded and slow.

To apply, candidates need to go to the official online portal, which is the same site DSSSB uses for all of its major recruitments:
https://dsssbonline.nic.in
Everything happens there — registration, login, uploading documents, and fee payment. The main DSSSB website, dsssb.delhi.gov.in, is where you can read the full notification, but the actual application has to be done only on the online portal.

The eligibility criteria are pretty minimal, which is why this notification attracts such a huge crowd. You just need to have passed 10th standard from a recognized board. There’s nothing complicated like diploma requirements or prior experience. The age limit is 18 to 27 years as of 15 January 2026, and as usual, candidates belonging to reserved categories get age relaxation as per government rules.

Another thing that often matters to candidates is the fee structure. DSSSB has kept it simple — the application fee is ₹100, but female candidates, SC, ST, and PwBD applicants don’t have to pay anything. This makes the form fairly accessible for everyone.

Although DSSSB hasn’t announced the exam date yet, those who’ve been through previous recruitments know that the board usually releases the schedule a few weeks after the application period closes. The written exam is the main filter for this post. MTS exams are generally objective-type tests covering basic reasoning, general knowledge, math, and simple language skills. You don’t need months of coaching for this — most of the syllabus matches what candidates already learned in school or have seen in earlier entrance tests.

What I personally find interesting about MTS roles is the stability they offer. Even though the job title sounds simple, these positions are important for keeping government offices functioning. And once you’re in the system, you get access to the standard pay scale, which for MTS usually falls in the range of ₹18,000 to ₹56,900, along with benefits and long-term security.

The selection process itself is not complicated. There’s the written exam, and if you clear it, you move on to document verification. After that comes the usual medical fitness formalities. There are no interviews for MTS posts, which takes a bit of pressure off many candidates.

The thing with DSSSB recruitments is that they always draw a huge number of applications, and this one won’t be any different. But because the qualifications are basic and the exam pattern is predictable, the competition feels manageable if you prepare consistently. People who have been waiting for a Delhi government job with minimal eligibility requirements usually don’t skip this type of vacancy.

Overall, the DSSSB MTS Recruitment 2026 feels like one of those openings that’s worth applying for simply because it’s stable, accessible, and doesn’t demand a long list of qualifications. With 714 posts on the table and a month-long application window, most candidates will have enough time to prepare their documents and submit their form without rushing.

If you’re planning to apply, just make sure you have your 10th certificate, ID proof, and other basic details ready before the portal opens. The form itself doesn’t take long, but it’s always easier when everything is organized in advance. And once the exam date is announced, you can start focusing on practice tests and previous papers — usually the best way to get comfortable with DSSSB’s style of questions.
