SSC MTS Cut Off: State-Wise Final Cut-Off for MTS and Havaldar

SSC MTS Cut Off: Quick Answer

In the official SSC MTS final result (MTS and Havaldar Examination 2024), the state-wise UR cut-off for the 18-25 age group ranged from about 120.79 in Tamil Nadu to 138.91 in Haryana (Session-II normalised marks). Delhi closed at 127.89 for UR, Uttar Pradesh at 131.03 and Bihar at 137.92. SSC fixes separate cut-offs for every state/UT, every category and each age group (18-25 and 18-27), so there is no single all-India MTS cut-off.

Key takeaway: Your MTS cut-off depends on the state you chose in the form. North Indian states with few vacancies (Haryana, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand) close the highest; large southern and western states with many vacancies (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat) close the lowest.

How the SSC MTS Cut Off Works

• Final selection for MTS is based on Session-II marks of the Computer Based Exam (Para 18.09 of the notice, quoted in the write-up). Session-II is evaluated only if you qualify in Session-I.
• Two age groups: vacancies came in 18-25 and 18-27 years. Candidates eligible for both were considered first in the 18-25 group.
• State-wise: you are considered only for the states/UTs you chose in your application.
• Havaldar selection uses Session-II marks too, but you must also qualify the PET/PST conducted by CBIC.
• Ties are broken by General Awareness marks in Session-II, then Session-I marks, then date of birth (older first), then alphabetical order of names.

SSC MTS State-Wise Cut Off (18-25 Years)

Marks of the last selected candidate in Session-II (normalised). "–" means no vacancy was reported for that category in that state.

Small states and UTs (Chandigarh, Goa, Jammu & Kashmir, Sikkim, Tripura, the North-East and Andaman & Nicobar) had only a handful of posts; their rows are in the official PDF.

SSC MTS Cut Off for the 18-27 Age Group (Selected States)

The 18-27 group has far fewer posts (1,196 against 6,883 in 18-25), so a few states show unusual jumps, such as Maharashtra SC above UR, because only one or two seats were filled.

SSC MTS 2024 Final Result in Numbers

The CBE was held from 30.09.2024 to 14.11.2024. Of the 3,433 UR MTS seats filled, 1,658 went to reserved-category candidates (314 EWS, 127 SC, 18 ST and 1,199 OBC) who scored at the UR standard.

How to Use the SSC MTS Cut Off to Set a Target

1. Look up the row for your state and category. That is the score the last selected candidate needed.
2. Add a safety margin. Cut-offs move with paper difficulty and vacancies, so aim 8 to 10 marks above the last cut-off in Session-II mocks.
3. Do not neglect General Awareness. It is the first tie-breaker, and the last selected candidates often differ by fractions of a mark.
4. Choose states wisely. You are considered only for the states you list, and cut-offs differ by more than 15 marks between states.
5. Clear Session-I comfortably. Session-II is not even checked if you fall short of the Session-I qualifying mark.
