Whether you are checking your own result or helping someone else, read this carefully from top to bottom. What Is SSC CPO 2025 — A Quick Overview The SSC CPO examination — officially called the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) Examination — is one of the most competitive government recruitment drives in the country. It opens the door to Sub-Inspector roles in forces like CRPF, BSF, CISF, ITBP, SSB, and the Delhi Police. The Paper-I for the 2025 cycle was conducted as a Computer Based Examination (CBE) from December 9 to December 12, 2025. Candidates who clear this stage move on to the physical tests, and eventually Paper-II and Document Verification. Clearing Paper-I is the entry point — and today, we know who made it. Official Result Declaration — What You Need to Know The Commission has officially released results under File No. E/13/2025-C-2. The result is based on normalized marks — a method used to adjust scores fairly across different exam shifts and dates, since each batch receives slightly different question sets. This is per the provisions of Para 12.3 of the Notice of Examination. ℹ️ All qualifying decisions are based on normalized scores, not raw marks. Do not compare your score directly with someone from a different shift without accounting for normalization. Minimum Qualifying Marks — The Baseline Filter Before getting to the actual cut-offs, understand that the Commission fixed minimum qualifying marks for Paper-I. These are the lowest scores a candidate must achieve just to be considered — and are calculated without adding NCC bonus marks. In practice, the real cut-offs are much higher, but the minimums define who was technically eligible. Category Minimum % Marks Required (out of 200) UR — Unreserved / General 30% 60 Marks OBC — Other Backward Classes 25% 50 Marks EWS — Economically Weaker Section 25% 50 Marks SC — Scheduled Caste 20% 40 Marks ST — Scheduled Tribe 20% 40 Marks ESM — Ex-Servicemen 20% 40 Marks Think of these minimums as a floor — scoring above them puts you in the race, but it does not guarantee selection. The actual qualifying cut-offs are significantly higher due to the sheer volume of applicants every year. NCC Certificate Holders — Provisional Bonus Marks Awarded Candidates who declared an NCC certificate in their application form have been given provisional bonus marks. The key word here is provisional. These marks have been added to scores at this stage, but will be verified later. ⚠️ If you claimed NCC bonus marks, you must produce a valid NCC certificate at the time of Document Verification (DV). If the claim is false or the certificate is found to be invalid, the bonus marks will be removed — and your candidature could be affected significantly. Do not take this lightly. List I — Female Candidates: Cut-Off Marks & Qualified Numbers A total of 4,320 female candidates have qualified for the PET/PST stage. Here are the category-wise cut-off marks: Category Cut-Off Marks Candidates Qualified UR — General 128.02 743 OBC 124.22 1,601 SC 100.92 867 ST 95.20 426 EWS 126.56 660 ESM 40.00 (MQM) 23 TOTAL — 4,320 📌 87 SC, 26 ST, 955 OBC, and 600 EWS candidates who scored above the UR cut-off have been counted under their own respective reserved categories, not under UR. List II — Male Candidates: Cut-Off Marks & Qualified Numbers This is the largest group. A total of 44,067 male candidates have cleared Paper-I and are headed to the PET/PST round: Category Cut-Off Marks Candidates Qualified UR — General 119.48 4,975 OBC 115.03 15,858 SC 88.95 9,518 ST 89.06 4,771 EWS 114.60 6,678 ESM 40.00 (MQM) 2,267 TOTAL — 44,067 📌 1,608 SC, 744 ST, 74 ESM, 9,925 OBC, and 5,456 EWS candidates who scored above the UR cut-off have been placed under their own categories. List III — Male Departmental Candidates (Delhi Police): Cut-Off Marks This list is exclusively for in-service Delhi Police personnel applying through the departmental quota. A total of 228 departmental candidates have qualified: Category Cut-Off Marks Candidates Qualified UR — General 127.93 46 OBC 116.64 86 SC 101.67 46 ST 94.90 24 EWS 120.78 26 TOTAL — 228 📌 9 SC, 4 ST, 43 OBC, and 18 EWS departmental candidates who scored at the UR cut-off level have been counted under their own categories. Special Rule for Ex-Servicemen (ESM) — Important Relaxation There is a special provision for all ESM category candidates, including those under the ESM (Special) category. Any ESM candidate who has scored the minimum qualifying marks of 20% (i.e., 40 out of 200 marks) automatically qualifies to appear in the PET/PST round — regardless of where the general cut-off stands for other categories. ✅ This significant relaxation reflects the government’s commitment to supporting veterans in transitioning to civilian service roles.
