What are the minimum marks, NCC bonus and cut-offs?

Answer: minimum qualifying marks were UR 30%, OBC/EWS 25% and SC, ST, ESM 20%; the actual cut-offs are state, category and area wise in the annexures.

• These minimum marks were applied without adding NCC bonus marks.
• CBE marks were normalised. Normalised scores plus NCC bonus marks were used to fix the cut-offs.
• NCC bonus (provisional): ‘C’ certificate 5% of the maximum marks (8 marks), ‘B’ 3% (4.8 marks), ‘A’ 2% (3.2 marks). Ex-Servicemen (ESM) candidates got no NCC bonus.
• Candidates from naxal/militancy-affected and border areas were first considered against the vacancies of their own area, then against general-area vacancies.
• Ties were broken in this order: Part-A (reasoning), Part-B (general knowledge), Part-C (mathematics), date of birth (older candidate higher), then alphabetical order of names.
• State/UT-wise cut-offs for women are in Annexure-I and for men of forces other than SSF in Annexure-II. They give category, area, candidates available, total cut-off, Part A/B/C cut-offs and the date of birth of the last shortlisted candidate.

Cut-offs for SSF (men, all-India vacancies):

Category	Candidates	Total cut-off	Part A	Part B	Part C
EWS	30	144.20658	40.00	29.25	40.00
SC	45	140.95414	40.00	22.00	40.00
ST	30	135.03155	40.00	26.75	33.25
ESM	30	100.52099	24.75	18.00	31.50
OBC	90	145.55766	40.00	33.50	40.00
UR	150	146.17817	40.00	25.00	40.00

How to check the SSC GD PET/PST shortlist

Answer: the write-up says four lists are on the SSC website, ssc.gov.in; the PET/PST shortlists are List-I (women) and List-II (men, other than SSF).

1. Open ssc.gov.in and find the write-up dated 12 October 2026 and the lists published with it.
2. Look for your name in List-I (women) or List-II (men, other than SSF).
3. List-III has withheld candidates and List-IV has debarred candidates.
4. Check the cut-off for your State/UT, category and area in Annexure-I or II.

CBE marks, the Final Answer Keys and question papers cum response sheets will be made available “in due course” on the SSC website by logging in with your Registered ID and Password. The write-up does not say how to search the lists (for example, by roll number). Use only the official website, ssc.gov.in.

What happens next after shortlisting?

Answer: the CAPFs will conduct PET/PST in due course, and the nodal force CRPF will issue the call letters.

• Call letters for shortlisted candidates will be issued by CRPF. The write-up advises candidates to visit rect.crpf.gov.in for further information.
• Where candidates were not available, or fewer than required were shortlisted, the minimum qualifying marks of the category were taken as the cut-off. Such vacancies may be filled in later stages.
• 13,231 candidates whose category was changed to UR on their own option were processed as UR; 246 of them are shortlisted.
• The result of 60 candidates (List-III) is withheld for various reasons and that of 3 candidates because of court cases. The result of 88 debarred candidates was not processed (List-IV).
• Later stages follow the Notice of Examination; the write-up does not describe them.

What the write-up does not say

Answer: it does not give vacancy numbers, PET/PST dates, call-letter dates or the PET/PST standards.

• No vacancy number is given for any force.
• No PET/PST date is given; it says only “in due course”.
• No date is given for the Final Answer Keys and marks.
• No combined total of all shortlisted candidates is given.
• The Area column of the annexures uses the codes G, B and N, which are not spelled out there.
• A separate shortlist list for SSF men is not mentioned.
