SSC GD Result 2026: 1,97,408 Shortlisted for PET/PST

The Staff Selection Commission declared the SSC GD Result 2026 on 12 October 2026, then revised the shortlists on 23 October. Out of 21,56,776 candidates who sat the computer based exam between 27 April and 30 May, 1,97,408 made the shortlist for the physical tests. The final answer key and your marks are live on ssc.gov.in from 3 November to 17 November, 5 pm, and that window is the one thing with a deadline right now.

SSC GD Result 2026 at a glance

Who made the list

The shortlist splits three ways. Female candidates account for 15,782 places. Male candidates against the All India vacancies of the Secretariat Security Force account for 375. Male candidates against the state wise vacancies of the other forces account for 1,81,251. Add them up and you get 1,97,408.

The female split runs EWS 1,344, SC 2,149, ST 1,774, OBC 3,453, UR 7,039 and ESM 23. The male split for the other forces runs EWS 16,296, SC 27,215, ST 16,546, OBC 41,400, UR 78,459 and ESM 1,335. A large share of reserved category candidates made it at the UR standard: 5,253 of the 15,782 women and 60,556 of the 1,81,251 men, which is why the UR columns look bigger than the UR vacancy share.

Getting on the list needed more than a pass mark. The minimum qualifying marks were 30 percent for UR, 25 percent for OBC and EWS, and 20 percent for SC, ST and ex-servicemen. On top of the written score, NCC certificate holders got bonus marks: 8 for a C certificate, 4.8 for B and 3.2 for A. Ex-servicemen did not get the NCC bonus.

Not every result came out clean. The Commission kept the result of 60 candidates withheld for various reasons, and 3 more because of court cases. The Commission debarred another 88 candidates and did not process their results at all. If your roll number is missing from the lists, check the withheld and debarred lists in the same write-up before assuming you failed.

The cut offs worth knowing

The write-up carries state wise cut offs in two annexures, one for women and one for men, with a date of birth beside each cut off. That date belongs to the last candidate who made it at that mark, and it is how the Commission breaks ties, along with the part wise marks in the order Part A, Part B and Part C, then the older date of birth, then alphabetical order of names.

The only All India cut offs in the document are for the Secretariat Security Force, and they show how tight the top of the list is.

For the other forces the cut off changes by state and by area, because vacancies are state wise and split across general, border and Naxal or militancy affected districts. A candidate in one state can miss the list at a mark that would clear it in another. Read the annexure row for your own state and area, not the national figure quoted on result sites.

The vacancy side explains why the list is so large. CISF alone takes 14,595 of the 25,487 posts. CRPF takes 5,490, SSB 1,764, Assam Rifles 1,706, ITBP 1,293, BSF 616 and SSF 23. Roughly eight candidates have been called for the physical tests for every vacancy, which is the ratio the Commission works to at this stage.

Marks and final answer key, live till 17 November

The Commission uploaded the final answer keys with the question papers and response sheets on 3 November, and your own marks are available alongside them. The facility runs from 3 November at 5 pm to 17 November at 5 pm, and it closes after that. Take a printout of the answer key, the response sheet and the scorecard, because the notice says they will not be available after the deadline.

To check them, open the login link in the 3 November notice and log in with your roll number and password. The same login shows your marks whether you qualified or not, so candidates who missed the list can see exactly where they stood. The Commission used the final answer keys for evaluation, after examining the representations against the tentative keys and changing them where it found a case.

What happens next, and what has not been announced

The physical tests come next. The write-up says the PET and PST will be conducted by the CAPFs in due course, and the CRPF, the nodal force, will issue the call letters. Candidates are told to watch rect.crpf.gov.in for further information. That is the whole of what the Commission has said about dates so far.

Several result sites are already printing a physical test window of 26 November to 11 December at 31 centres. Neither the SSC notice board nor the CRPF recruitment portal carries any such schedule as of 8 November. The CRPF portal lists its live recruitments, the latest dated 6 November, and none of them is the SSC GD physical test. Treat the dates circulating online as unconfirmed until CRPF posts them, and check rect.crpf.gov.in rather than a tracker.

The physical round is the filter that cuts the list down hardest. Roughly one in eight shortlisted candidates will end up with a post, so the running and the measurement standards matter more now than the written score. Keep your documents ready, including the certificates you uploaded with the application, because the document verification that follows the physical tests is where candidates lose seats over paperwork rather than marks. The same lesson showed up in the SSC CPO PET PST result, where 10,676 candidates qualified for Paper II, and the physical stage decided who moved on.
