SSC GD Constable Cutoff 2026 — Category-Wise Cut Off Marks &

The SSC GD Constable Cutoff is the minimum qualifying score in the Computer Based Examination (CBE) required to advance to the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST) stages. The cutoff is determined after normalisation across multiple shifts and varies by category and force preference.

SSC GD 2026 Expected Cutoff

Based on trends from 2022–2024, the expected CBE cutoff for SSC GD 2026:

• General (Male): 150–160 (normalised out of 160)
• OBC (Male): 135–145
• SC (Male): 122–132
• ST (Male): 110–120

Female candidates generally have 2–5 marks lower cutoff than male candidates in the same category. The actual cutoff depends on vacancy count, paper difficulty, and number of candidates appeared.

Cutoff Trend Analysis (2022–2024)

The General category male cutoff has shown a steady increase: 143.11 in 2022 → 148.62 in 2023 → 152.75 in 2024. This upward trend reflects growing competition as SSC GD becomes increasingly popular among 10th-pass candidates. The OBC-General gap has remained stable at approximately 15 marks.

Force-Wise Cutoff Variation

While SSC declares a single qualifying cutoff, the final allocation cutoff varies by force. BSF and CRPF typically have the highest cutoff due to maximum vacancies, while ITBP and SSB may have slightly lower cutoffs. Candidates should list their force preferences strategically based on their expected score.

Factors Affecting SSC GD Cutoff

• Number of Vacancies: SSC GD recruits 25,000–75,000 candidates per cycle. Higher vacancies lead to lower cutoff.
• Difficulty Level: Easier CBE papers result in higher cutoffs.
• Number of Candidates: SSC GD attracts 25–30 lakh candidates. Massive competition pushes cutoff higher.
• Normalisation: SSC normalises scores across shifts, which can change individual cutoffs significantly.

Remember that clearing the CBE cutoff is only the first step — candidates must also pass PET, PST, and medical examination. For physical standards, see our SSC GD 2026 Notification page. For salary information, visit SSC GD Salary 2026.
