SSC GD Result 2026

SSC GD Result 2026: Quick Answer

The SSC GD Result 2026 is OUT. The Staff Selection Commission declared the computer-based examination result on 12 October 2026 and shortlisted 1,97,408 candidates for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST) — 1,81,251 men for state-wise vacancies in forces other than SSF, 15,782 women, and 375 men for all-India vacancies in the Secretariat Security Force — against 25,487 Constable (GD) vacancies in the CAPFs, SSF and Assam Rifles. The written examination ran from 27 April to 30 May 2026, and 21,56,776 candidates appeared out of 48,83,309 who applied (Testbook). A revised result followed on 23 October 2026 — the same 1,97,408 candidates, with the category columns corrected after representations from candidates. The final answer key and individual marks were released on 3 November 2026 and remain available until 17 November 2026, 5:00 PM. The PET/PST is tentatively announced by CRPF for 26 November to 11 December 2026 at 31 recruitment centres (CareerPower and Testbook, citing a CRPF notice — tentative, no CRPF notice read directly), with call letters to be issued by the CRPF, the nodal force.

Key takeaway: Being shortlisted is not selection — it is an invitation to the physical test, and the physical test ends recruitments. About 9.2% of those who appeared made the lists, which means roughly 8 candidates will compete for each vacancy at the PET/PST stage. If your roll number is in the list, your running shoes matter more than your books from today: men must run 5 km in 24 minutes, women 1.6 km in 8.5 minutes, and there is no appeal against a PET race result.

SSC GD Result 2026 at a Glance

How Many Made It: The Shortlisting in Numbers

About 9.2% of the 21,56,776 candidates who appeared were shortlisted — roughly 7.7 candidates per vacancy. That ratio is why the PET/PST matters so much: the written test has already done most of its filtering, and the physical test is where the list shrinks again. The result was published as four PDF lists on the SSC notice board: the female shortlist, the male shortlist (forces other than SSF), the withheld-result list and the debarred-candidates list, plus the result write-up with the cut-off marks.

How to Check the SSC GD Result 2026

1. Go to ssc.gov.in and open the Notice Board / Results section. Do not use a third-party site that asks for your registration number and password.
2. Look for the notice dated 12 October 2026 titled "Shortlisting of candidates to appear in Physical Efficiency Test (PET) / Physical Standard Test (PST)" — and the revised lists dated 23 October 2026. Use the revised lists: they are the current ones.
3. Download the list for your group — List I (women) or List II (men) — and search it for your roll number (Ctrl+F). The result is a list of roll numbers, not a scorecard.
4. Check the cut-off marks in the write-up for your state, category, gender and area (general, border or Naxal/militancy-affected). That is the score the last shortlisted candidate needed — and it is the number to compare yourself against.
5. Check your individual marks and final answer key behind your candidate login on ssc.gov.in, available from 3 November 2026 (5:00 PM) to 17 November 2026 (5:00 PM). Download them before the window closes — SSC does not entertain later requests.
6. If your roll number is not in the list, check the withheld and debarred lists, then check your marks: the gap between your score and your state-category cut-off tells you how far you were, which is what you need for the next attempt.

State-Wise Cut-Offs 2026: The Headline Numbers

The cut-offs below are for male UR candidates in the general area, out of 160 marks plus NCC bonus, copied from the official write-up. They are the cut-offs used to shortlist candidates for PET/PST — not final selection cut-offs.

The range is the story: from about 65 in Kerala to 126.8 in Rajasthan among the large states. Border-area and Naxal-area cut-offs are usually lower — for example, UP male UR (Border) was 98.93657 and Bihar male UR (Border) was 94.65364. Female vacancies are far fewer than male ones (15,782 women against 1,81,251 men shortlisted outside SSF), so a handful of seats can push a female cut-off above the male one, as in Kerala and Haryana. Where too few candidates were available for a vacancy, SSC used the minimum qualifying marks as the cut-off — which is why some rows show exactly 40.00000. Our SSC GD cut-off note carries the full state-wise, category-wise and area-wise tables.

NCC Bonus: The Marks That Move the Line

NCC certificate holders get bonus marks added to the normalised score: 8 marks for a 'C' certificate (5% of 160), 4.8 marks for 'B' (3%) and 3.2 marks for 'A' (2%). Eight marks is a large jump when state cut-offs are separated by decimals, so if you hold an NCC certificate, claim it in the form and keep it ready for verification. Ex-Servicemen do not get NCC bonus marks. The minimum qualifying marks — without NCC bonus — are the floor for being considered at all; clearing them does not guarantee shortlisting, because the actual cut-off, fixed state-wise, category-wise, gender-wise and area-wise, is usually far higher.

What Happens Next: PET, PST, Medical, Final Merit

The PET/PST is tentatively announced by CRPF for 26 November to 11 December 2026 at 31 recruitment centres (CareerPower and Testbook, citing a CRPF notice — tentative, no CRPF notice read directly). Watch rect.crpf.gov.in: the CRPF is the nodal force and will issue the PET/PST call letters there. Shortlisting for PET/PST does not constitute final selection or appointment — the final merit is declared only after the physical test, medical examination and document verification, on the written test marks.

Common Mistakes Around the GD Result

• Treating shortlisting as selection. 1,97,408 candidates were shortlisted for 25,487 vacancies. The PET/PST, medical and document verification still stand between the list and the appointment letter.
• Checking the old lists. Use the revised lists of 23 October 2026, not the 12 October lists — the category columns were corrected, and the revised lists are the current ones.
• Comparing your score to the wrong cut-off. The cut-off is state-wise, category-wise, gender-wise and area-wise. A UP general-area UR candidate and a Kerala border-area EWS candidate are not on the same line — find your own row.
• Missing the marks window. Individual marks and the final answer key are available only from 3 to 17 November 2026. After 17 November at 5:00 PM, they are gone.
• Starting physical training after the PET/PST dates are announced. 5 km in 24 minutes is a serious running target. Candidates who start training only when the call letter arrives are the ones who fail the race.
• Mixing the 2026 and 2027 cycles. The 2026 cycle result is out. The GD 2027 notification is on hold — no 2027 vacancies, dates or figures exist, and any page giving you 2027 numbers is inventing them. This page gives none.

Memory Tricks: GD Result Numbers

• "1-9-7" — 1,97,408 shortlisted. Remember it as roughly 2 lakh, of which 1.81 lakh are men.
• "12-23-3-17" — result 12 October, revised 23 October, marks from 3 November, marks window closes 17 November. Four dates, one timeline.
• "5 in 24, 1.6 in 8.5" — the two race standards. Men: 5 km in 24 minutes. Women: 1.6 km in 8.5 minutes. If you cannot do your race today, that is your preparation, not your books.
