Documents Required
- Matriculation/Secondary School certificate (date of birth proof)
- Educational qualification certificates relevant to the post applied for (Graduation, Shorthand/Typing certificates, etc.)
- LMV driving licence and proof of 2 years' driving experience (for Process Server)

Important Conditions
- Candidates must check their own eligibility (qualification, age, experience, PwBD suitability) for each post/department opted; ineligibility found at e-dossier/document verification leads to rejection for that post code with no reallocation
- SC/ST/OBC/EWS/ESM/PwBD candidates selected purely on general merit are adjusted against unreserved vacancies, not reserved ones
- Post/department preferences are exercised at the interview stage, are final and irreversible once confirmed, and cannot be changed later
- Vacancies may vary (increase/decrease) at the discretion of the indenting department, with no compensation to candidates for such changes
- Mobile phones, calculators, Bluetooth devices, smartwatches, and other electronic gadgets are strictly banned in the exam hall; possession leads to debarment and possible legal action
- A prescribed dress code applies: light clothing with half sleeves, no big buttons/brooch/badge, Salwar/Trouser, and only slippers/low-heeled sandals (no shoes)
- Only one registration and one application per candidate are allowed; multiple submissions lead to cancellation and debarment
- In case of discrepancy between English, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi versions of the advertisement, the English version prevails
- DSSSB/Delhi District Courts reserve the right to change the examination scheme, cancel/modify the recruitment, or change exam centres at any stage
