SSB HC Ministerial Result 2026: 1,725 Shortlisted

The SSB HC Ministerial Result 2026 is out. The Sashastra Seema Bal published the list of candidates who cleared the written exam for Head Constable (Ministerial) 2020 on 2 November 2026, and 1,725 of them will now sit for the typing test on 16 and 18 November. You can check the list on the SSB recruitment portal, recruitment.ssb.gov.in, where the notice carries the date 2 November 2026.

That is the whole update in one paragraph. The rest of this page is for the two questions every candidate actually has: did my roll number make the list, and what does the typing test demand.

SSB HC Ministerial Result 2026 at a glance

Who made the list, and what the cut off was

SSB shortlisted 15 candidates for every vacancy. That is why 1,725 names sit on the list for 115 posts, and it is also why the cut off marks look high. SSB marked the written exam out of 100, and the general category cut off closed at 90.

The gap between categories is narrow. Four marks separate the general cut off from the SC cut off, which tells you how tightly packed the scores were at the top. If your score sits just below your category cut off, there is no waiting list to hope for at this stage. The notice is a shortlist for the typing test, not a merit list, and SSB has not announced any second list.

One detail worth noting: SSB released individual CBT marks on 14 October 2026, three weeks before this shortlist. The window to view those marks closed on 24 October at 11:30 AM. If you never checked your score in that window, the shortlist is now the only way to know where you stand, and the portal will not reopen the marks link on its own. Keep an eye on the SSB recruitment portal in case SSB issues a fresh notice about it, but do not plan around one.

The typing test is the part people underestimate

The typing test on 16 and 18 November 2026 is qualifying, which sounds harmless until you read what qualifying means here. Fail it and your CBT score stops mattering. Pass it and your CBT score is still the only thing that decides the final merit list, because the typing test adds no marks of its own.

The standard is 35 words per minute in English or 30 words per minute in Hindi, typed on a computer. SSB published the test dates in a separate notice on 30 October 2026, before the result itself came out, so shortlisted candidates had about two weeks from the result to the test. Your individual date, centre and reporting time come through SSB's own communication, so check the portal rather than trusting a date a friend forwards you. SSB had not separately announced an admit card or call letter for the typing test when the result came out, and the SSB recruitment portal is the place it will appear.

If you are one of the 1,725, the preparation is boring and it works. Type every day on the same kind of keyboard you will face at the centre, in the language you picked, and time yourself. Speed without accuracy is useless here, because errors eat into the words per minute the test actually counts. A week of steady practice beats a single panicked weekend, and there is still a week left.

How to check your result on the SSB portal

Open recruitment.ssb.gov.in and look for the notice carrying the date 2 November 2026, titled "List of Candidates declared qualified in written examination (CBT) and Shortlisted for Typing / Skill Test for the post of HC (Min) -2020". Open the attached list and search for your roll number with Ctrl + F. If your roll number is there, read the typing test notice of 30 October 2026 next, because it carries the test instructions your shortlist entry does not.

Save a copy of the list. SSB notices move down the page as new ones arrive, and hunting for a result notice a month later is a waste of a morning.

What being shortlisted does not mean

This part trips candidates up every year, so say it plainly. Being one of the 1,725 does not mean you have one of the 115 jobs. It means you cleared the written exam and earned a seat at the typing test.

After that come documentation, verification of eligibility and the medical examination, and SSB draws the final selection list category wise on CBT marks. A candidate who tops the typing test but scored lower in the CBT can still lose out to a candidate who barely passed typing with a higher CBT score. That is how this recruitment works, and knowing it now saves a nasty surprise later.

For context on how other result lists work, the WBSSC Group C and D interview list published on 5 November follows the same logic: a shortlist for the next stage, not a final selection. And if you are tracking admit cards for other exams this month, the HP High Court Clerk admit card for the 29 November exam is already out on the court's recruitment portal.

Sources & verification: SSB recruitment portal, recruitment.ssb.gov.in, notice dated 2 November 2026 titled "List of Candidates declared qualified in written examination (CBT) and Shortlisted for Typing / Skill Test for the post of HC (Min) -2020", read 8 November 2026. The 1,725 shortlisted candidates, the 115 vacancies, the category wise shortlist and cut off marks, the 7 July 2026 CBT date, the 14 October 2026 marks release and 24 October 2026 closing time, and the 16 and 18 November 2026 typing test dates with 35 and 30 words per minute standards appear in reports by FreeJobAlert and by JagranJosh and by Career India.
