Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) is getting online soon

Still waiting for the call to appear in the written test for the government job in Delhi for which you had applied a few years ago? Get ready, you wait is going to end soon.

To speed up the process of disposing of thousands of applications, Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) is getting online soon. The DSSSB is responsible for filling non-gazetted posts in various Delhi government departments.

Even as country’s top recruiting agency, Union Public Service Commission, Staff Selection Board and Service commission and staff selection boards of most of the states had computerized their process long ago, Delhi still has to follow and demands applications on printed forms.

Top ranking officials in DSSSB revealed that have already outsourced the job; process of inviting applications, collating data, and computerizing details to a private firm. In the past four years, the DSSSB had invited applications for around 25,000 vacant posts in 165 departments of Delhi government.

However the DSSSB failed to make recruitment even on a single post. Most of these applications were filed by trained teachers and nurses. The sources in DSSSB disclosed that they had received over lakh applications for the 25000 Government Jobs advertised.

DSSSB Secretary, Janak Digal said that they would be able to dispose off pending applications, once the online job application system is ready. He added that even fresh applications for new vacancies would be called.

He said that DSSSB’s website www.dsssbonline.nic.in is near completion. “We have a target to clear all the pending applications and make recruitment by December 2013,” he claimed.

In the new system, the applications would be filled online, thus reducing the chances of error. The candidates would also have to privilege to download their Admit cards for various tests online. Digal stated that a system of sending SMSes and email about date of exam and other relevant information would also be in place soon.
