SSC has released the Paper-I results for the CPO 2025 recruitment drive. The exam was held between December 9 and 12, 2025, and was aimed at filling sub-inspector posts in Delhi Police as well as the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs). Marks have been normalized to prepare the final result list. Those who hold NCC certificates have been provisionally given bonus marks. However, these will only be confirmed once documents are verified at the next stage.
Candidates who have been shortlisted will now move on to the Physical Endurance Test and Physical Standard Test. The CAPFs will be responsible for conducting these rounds. Once schedules are finalised, they will be made available on ssc.gov.in. Candidates should keep checking the official website for admit cards and further updates.
Category-wise pass marks
To be eligible, candidates had to cross a minimum score based on their category. The threshold for General or UR candidates was 30 percent, equal to 60 marks. OBC and EWS candidates needed to score 25 percent, that is, 50 marks. For SC, ST, and remaining categories, the minimum was set at 20 percent, which equals 40 marks.
Female candidates shortlisted (List I)
Across all categories, 4,320 women have made it through. In the UR category, 743 candidates cleared the cut-off of 128.01610. The OBC category saw the largest number of qualifiers at 1,601, with a cut-off of 124.22057. SC candidates numbered 867 at a cut-off of 100.91972.

A key difference between the lists:
List-I and List-II cover applicants for both Delhi Police and CAPFs combined. List-III, on the other hand, is exclusively for personnel already working in Delhi Police.
Results of 12 candidates have been put on hold due to administrative reasons. The final answer keys, along with individual scores, will be uploaded on the website in the coming days.
