SSC GD Result 2026 was declared on 12 October 2026 for the Computer Based Examination (CBE). A total of 1,97,408 candidates have been provisionally shortlisted for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST). This is a shortlist for the next stage—not a final selection, appointment or guarantee of a place in a force. Candidates should check the result lists and applicable cut-offs on the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) website, then follow updates from the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), the nodal force for PET/PST call letters.
The result covers recruitment for Constable (GD) in CAPFs and SSF, and Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles Examination 2026. The CBE was held from 27 April to 30 May 2026. Of the 21,56,776 candidates who appeared, 1,97,408 were provisionally shortlisted for the physical stages. The result notice does not announce PET/PST dates, so candidates should rely on later official instructions for the schedule, venue and reporting requirements.

How to check the result and shortlist
The SSC result lists and accompanying write-up are the authoritative sources for checking whether a candidate has been shortlisted. For the SSC GD Result 2026, the result is published as lists rather than as a final appointment notice. Candidates should make sure they are using the correct list and should read the write-up alongside it, since the cut-off information is organised by candidate group and vacancy area.
- Open the official SSC website.
- Find the Constable (GD) Examination 2026 result notice and open the relevant result list or write-up.
- Choose List-I for female candidates or List-II for male candidates other than SSF. SSF has a separate All-India vacancy shortlist for male candidates.
- Search the appropriate list for your name or roll number. Check that you have opened the list applicable to your candidate group.
- Read the relevant annexure in the write-up for the state/UT, area and category cut-off that applies to the vacancies in question.
- Save a copy of the notice and list for your own reference. If shortlisted, monitor SSC and the CRPF recruitment portal for PET/PST instructions and call-letter updates.
A result-list entry indicates provisional shortlisting for the next stage. It does not confirm final selection. Candidates still have to meet the requirements for subsequent stages, including physical assessment, medical examination and document verification as applicable. Likewise, the absence of a name from a particular list should be checked against the correct list and the official write-up before drawing conclusions.
Shortlist numbers and CBE qualifying marks
The state/UT-wise shortlist for forces other than SSF contains 15,782 female and 1,81,251 male candidates. A further 375 male candidates were shortlisted against SSF’s All-India vacancies, taking the overall provisional shortlist to 1,97,408. These figures describe candidates shortlisted for the next stage, not the number of available posts or final appointments.
| Category | Female shortlisted | Male shortlisted |
|---|---|---|
| EWS | 1,344 | 16,296 |
| SC | 2,149 | 27,215 |
| ST | 1,774 | 16,546 |
| OBC | 3,453 | 41,400 |
| UR | 7,039* | 78,459* |
| ESM | 23 | 1,335 |
| Total | 15,782 | 1,81,251 |
*UR figures include candidates from reserved categories shortlisted at the UR standard. The result write-up gives separate state/UT, area and category cut-offs for female and male candidates in its annexures. Candidates should consult the annexure relevant to their group and vacancy area rather than relying on a single all-India cut-off for these vacancies. The separate SSF figures are provided below.
| Category | Minimum qualifying marks in CBE |
|---|---|
| UR | 30% |
| OBC / EWS | 25% |
| SC / ST / ESM | 20% |
These percentages are the minimum qualifying marks in the CBE; they are not the cut-offs needed to make the shortlist. Meeting a minimum qualifying percentage alone does not establish that a candidate has been shortlisted. SSC used normalized CBE scores and applicable NCC bonus marks to determine shortlisting. The stated minimum qualifying marks were applied without adding NCC bonus marks. Candidates comparing their result with a cut-off should use the official category, area and state/UT information rather than comparing only with these minimum percentages.
SSF All-India vacancies: male shortlist cut-offs
For male candidates shortlisted against SSF vacancies, the result notice reports the following category-wise candidate numbers and cut-offs. These figures relate to the SSF All-India vacancies and should not be substituted for the state/UT-wise cut-offs for other forces.
| Category | Candidates | Cut-off marks |
|---|---|---|
| EWS | 30 | 144.20658 |
| SC | 45 | 140.95414 |
| ST | 30 | 135.03155 |
| ESM | 30 | 100.52099 |
| OBC | 90 | 145.55766 |
| UR | 150* | 146.17817 |
*The UR count includes candidates from reserved categories shortlisted at the UR standard. For SSF, the result write-up also publishes Part A, Part B and Part C cut-offs and the date of birth of the last shortlisted candidate in each category. Refer to that official table for those details; the summary figures here do not replace the complete result notice.
NCC bonus marks and result rules
The result notice sets out bonus marks for candidates with an eligible NCC certificate who claimed it in their online application. The bonus is calculated as a proportion of the maximum marks and differs by certificate level:
| NCC certificate | Bonus |
|---|---|
| ‘C’ certificate | 5% of maximum marks (8 marks) |
| ‘B’ certificate | 3% of maximum marks (4.8 marks) |
| ‘A’ certificate | 2% of maximum marks (3.2 marks) |
NCC bonus was considered provisionally for candidates who claimed a certificate in their online application. The notice says NCC bonus marks were not given to Ex-Servicemen. SSC evaluated response sheets using the final answer keys and applied the normalization procedure referred to in its notice dated 2 June 2025. Candidates should refer to the Commission’s detailed notice for the rules that apply to their individual case.
- Area-wise consideration: Candidates were considered against applicable Naxal/militancy-affected, border and general-area vacancies in the order specified in the result notice. The relevant area information is part of the official cut-off details.
- Ties: The stated tie-break sequence is marks in Part A, then Part B, then Part C, followed by date of birth and alphabetical order of names.
- Withheld or unprocessed results: SSC reported 60 results withheld for various reasons and three more withheld due to court cases. The results of 88 candidates debarred by the Commission were not processed.
- Category migration: The write-up notes that 246 candidates among those processed under UR after inter-State/UT migration were shortlisted. Check the official notice for how the rule applies to an individual case.
Vacancies by force
The recruitment notification listed 25,487 posts across the forces and services shown below. Vacancy totals and shortlist totals describe different parts of the recruitment: vacancies are the notified posts, while the shortlist identifies candidates provisionally moving forward to PET/PST. A shortlist therefore should not be read as a vacancy count or as a final allocation of candidates to a force.
| Force | Male posts | Female posts | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| BSF | 524 | 92 | 616 |
| CISF | 13,135 | 1,460 | 14,595 |
| CRPF | 5,366 | 124 | 5,490 |
| SSB | 1,764 | 0 | 1,764 |
| ITBP | 1,099 | 194 | 1,293 |
| Assam Rifles | 1,556 | 150 | 1,706 |
| SSF | 23 | 0 | 23 |
| Total | 23,467 | 2,020 | 25,487 |
What shortlisted candidates should do next
The result notice does not give PET/PST dates. CRPF is the nodal CAPF for PET/PST call letters, and candidates should look for official instructions rather than rely on unofficial schedules. Until the schedule is announced, the result notice confirms shortlisting but does not provide a reporting date, venue or call-letter information.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Confirm your name or roll number in the correct result list and review the applicable result write-up. |
| 2 | Check SSC and CRPF recruitment updates regularly for PET/PST dates, venue, call letter and instructions. |
| 3 | Begin preparing for the prescribed physical events and measurements; use the recruitment notice for the standards that apply to you. |
| 4 | Keep your call letter, photo identity proof and original certificates relevant to your application claims ready. Follow the call letter for the definitive document checklist and format. |
| 5 | Attend PET/PST only as instructed. Shortlisting at the CBE stage does not waive physical, medical or document requirements. |
Use the later call letter as the controlling source for practical reporting instructions, including the date, venue and document checklist. Do not assume that an instruction issued for the CBE applies to PET/PST. If you need to verify whether an update concerns your stage, compare its title and details with the official SSC or CRPF notice.
SSC says the final answer keys, question papers with response sheets and marks of qualified and non-qualified candidates will be made available on its website in due course. Candidates will need to sign in with their registered ID and password when those materials are released. The result notice does not state a release date for these materials.
Selection process and CBE pattern
The recruitment process includes the CBE, PET, PST and the subsequent medical examination and document verification stages. The result addressed here is the CBE result and PET/PST shortlist; it does not complete the remaining stages. Candidates should check the official recruitment notice and their later call letter for the instructions that apply at each stage.
| Stage | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Computer Based Examination | 80 questions for 160 marks, with 60 minutes to complete the test; four sections with 20 questions each |
| PET | Race requirement, with standards varying by sex and, for the listed event, Ladakh region |
| PST | Measurement of height, male chest and weight as prescribed |
| Medical examination and document verification | Medical fitness assessment and verification of candidate documents |
The CBE sections were General Intelligence and Reasoning, General Knowledge and General Awareness, Elementary Mathematics, and English/Hindi. The reported scheme carried 2 marks per question and a 0.25-mark deduction for each incorrect answer. The examination was offered in English, Hindi and 13 regional languages. These details describe the examination already held; they are included to help candidates understand the result context, not as a new exam schedule.
| Physical event or standard | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| PET race (standard area) | 5 km in 24 minutes | 1.6 km in 8½ minutes |
| PET race (Ladakh region) | 1.6 km in 7 minutes | 800 metres in 5 minutes |
| Height: general categories stated in the notice | 170 cm | 157 cm |
| Height: ST standard stated in the notice | 162.5 cm | 150 cm |
| Chest | 80 cm unexpanded, with 5 cm expansion | Not applicable |
Physical standards and relaxations depend on the candidate’s category and other conditions set out in the official notice. The measurements above include the general and ST standards stated here; they should not be treated as a complete list of every applicable standard or relaxation. Check the recruitment rules and the instructions issued for your PET/PST rather than assuming the general measurements apply to every candidate.
Eligibility, pay and application details
The recruitment notification set out the education, age, pay and fee details below. These are included for reference for candidates reviewing the cycle. The application window has closed, so these details do not indicate that new applications are being accepted.
| Item | 2026 recruitment detail |
|---|---|
| Education | Matriculation (Class 10) pass from a recognised board by the prescribed cut-off date |
| Age | 18 to 23 years, calculated as on 1 January 2026 |
| Date-of-birth range stated | Not earlier than 2 January 2003 and not later than 1 January 2008 |
| Age relaxation stated | SC/ST: 5 years; OBC: 3 years; ESM: as specified in the notice after deduction of military service |
| Pay | Pay Level 3: ₹21,700–₹69,100 |
| Application fee | ₹100 for applicable candidates; women, SC, ST and Ex-Servicemen were exempted |

Fee payment was online. The application schedule also listed a fee-payment deadline of 1 January 2026 and a correction window from 8 to 10 January 2026. These dates are in the past, and no new application can be submitted for this cycle.
Earlier application process
Applications were submitted through the SSC website after completing One-Time Registration where required. Applicants filled in the form, provided the requested information, selected force preferences, paid the applicable fee and submitted the application. The application module required a live photograph. This information describes the process used during the closed application window; it is not an invitation to apply now.
Important dates and notices
The dates below put the result in the context of the recruitment cycle. Some notices relate to earlier stages and their windows have closed. In particular, the admit-card and answer-key instructions below are historical examination updates, not current PET/PST directions.
| Event | Date or status |
|---|---|
| Notification and applications opened | 1 December 2025 |
| Application deadline | 31 December 2025 |
| Fee-payment deadline | 1 January 2026 |
| Correction window | 8–10 January 2026 |
| Exam week preference window | 11–15 April 2026 |
| CBE | 27 April–30 May 2026 |
| Tentative answer-key challenge window | 15–20 June 2026; closed. The notice set a fee of ₹50 per challenged question. |
| CBE result and PET/PST shortlist | 12 October 2026 |
| PET/PST schedule | Not stated in the result notice |
The answer-key notice said the tentative keys and response sheets would no longer be available after the challenge window. SSC later used final answer keys for evaluation. An earlier admit-card notice also asked candidates scheduled on 28, 29 or 30 April to re-download the e-Admission Certificate if either barcode was missing or unclear. That instruction related to the examination stage and is not a current PET/PST update.
Common checks before the next stage
- Do not treat the CBE shortlist as a final appointment or assume that PET/PST is automatically passed.
- Use the correct female or male result list and check the relevant state/UT, area and category cut-off in the official write-up.
- Do not compare your score only with the minimum qualifying percentage; the shortlist cut-off can be higher.
- Check that a notice relates to PET/PST before acting on its instructions. Old exam-day directions are not a replacement for a later call letter.
- Follow the call letter for reporting time, venue, permitted items and required documents.
- Use only SSC or CRPF portals for result, call-letter and schedule updates. Never share account passwords or pay an unofficial agent for access.
Keeping the result notice and the applicable write-up together can help when reviewing a shortlist entry or cut-off. If an individual question depends on category, area, migration or another rule, use the notice’s specific wording rather than relying on a general summary. The official list and the instructions later issued by the Commission or nodal force take precedence over third-party summaries.
Final takeaway
The SSC GD Result 2026 has moved 1,97,408 candidates to the PET/PST shortlist, but the selection process is still in progress. Check your name or roll number in the correct SSC result list, read the relevant cut-off details in the write-up, and prepare for the physical stage using the applicable recruitment rules. Watch CRPF’s recruitment portal and SSC notices for the call letter and schedule. No PET/PST date is specified in the result notice available here.
