The Delhi government has announced plans to recruit 5,346 Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs) for classes VI to X in its government and municipal schools. The move aims to address the ongoing shortage of teaching staff and improve student–teacher ratios across the capital’s education system.
According to officials, the recruitment drive will be conducted through the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB), with applications open from October 9 to November 7, 2025. The new posts will cover key subjects including Mathematics, English, Social Science, and Natural Science, across both male and female categories.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta stated that the large-scale recruitment drive is part of the government’s commitment to strengthening classroom learning and ensuring quality education for all students. She emphasised that filling vacant posts is crucial to maintaining academic continuity and personal attention in classrooms.

Delhi’s government schools currently serve over 18 lakh students and employ around 70,000 teachers. However, nearly 10,000 teaching positions remain vacant, with the shortage particularly affecting middle and secondary grades.
The government expects that the appointment of over 5,000 new teachers will help alleviate the pressure on existing staff, enhance teaching quality, and create a more conducive learning environment in Delhi’s public schools.
