The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has published provisional merit lists and interview schedules for the Deputy Director and Assistant Director posts under its Direct Recruitment 2025/2026 drive. Shortlisted candidates are being called for interviews/document verification as per notices uploaded on the official DDA portal. Check the DDA “Latest Jobs/Notices” or Results pages for the PDFs.
Background — What is DDA and why these posts matter
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is the statutory body responsible for planning and development of housing, infrastructure and public spaces in Delhi. Posts such as Deputy Director and Assistant Director are Group ‘A’ technical/administrative roles that shape policy execution, project planning, and cross-department coordination in areas like planning, architecture, systems, and public relations — so recruitment to these roles attracts a large number of qualified candidates. The current results are part of the DDA’s Direct Recruitment 2025/2026 process.
Roles: Deputy Director & Assistant Director — a snapshot
Deputy Director: Senior-level responsibilities (planning, supervision, policy implementation).
Assistant Director: Middle-management duties (project execution, technical oversight, reporting).
