Will DSSSB PGT Age Limit be Revised?

The maximum DSSSB PGT Age Limit had been reduced to 30 years during the DSSSB Recruitment 2022. The Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) has asked for clarification from the Delhi Government, Lt. Governor and UPSC on the matter. This comes after more than 30 candidates challenged the decision of reducing the maximum DSSSB PGT Age Limit to 30 years.

DSSSB Eligibility Criteria

In 2022 DSSSB has released Teaching Vacancies for various posts. There were many changes in the recruitment policy and among them the most striking change was the reduction of the maximum DSSSB PGT Age Limit.

Now, CAT has decided to consider the petition filed by the students. According to the petition, lakhs of Delhi Teaching Aspirants will be affected by the reduction of the maximum DSSSB PGT Age Limit.

The PGT aspirants in Delhi who didn’t make the revised age limit criteria are disheartened as they will become deprived of the opportunity. It is to be noted that the eligibility criteria for PGT include Post Graduate degree along with a BEd degree and it takes at least 25 years of age to attain the qualification required. Therefore, this decision narrows down the opportunity window for the PGT aspirants in Delhi.
