The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB - dsssbonline.nic.in) conducts examinations for Assistant Teacher (Primary/Nursery), Sweeper, Chowkidar, District Court staff, and Municipal positions.

What is the DSSSB Postcard Photo (5x7 Inch)?
Unlike standard passport photos (3.5 × 4.5 cm) that focus solely on the face and neck, a 5×7 inch postcard photograph shows the candidate's upper body including chest and shoulders clearly. DSSSB invigilators match this postcard photograph against the candidate's physical appearance during biometric entry into Delhi examination centers.
- Posture: Sit straight with shoulders relaxed, both arms clearly visible, facing forward.
- Background: Pure solid white background with clean edges.
- Clarity: Resolution should not be pixelated or smudged. Size must stay strictly between 50 KB and 300 KB.
Thumb Impression Guidelines (Both Left & Right)
Most portals only require the Left Thumb Impression, but DSSSB mandates BOTH Left and Right Thumb Impressions in separate upload slots. Ensure the ridges of your thumbprint are clearly defined and not smudged with excess ink.
