What the result established
The 30 March notice shortlisted 4,320 female candidates, 44,067 male candidates and 228 Delhi Police departmental male candidates for PET/PST. Scores were normalized; NCC bonus claims remained subject to documentary verification. The notice is a Paper I shortlist, not a final appointment result.
The reviewed SSC CAPF board did not establish a later final 2025 result for this rewrite. Check later SSC/CAPF notices for individual physical-test, Paper II or medical instructions rather than treating the 2026 recruitment timetable as part of this cycle.

Do not mix Paper I, PET/PST and the next cycle
The CPO 2026 proposed schedule belongs to another recruitment. A physical-test call letter also does not represent a new 2025 application opportunity. Match the examination name, year and stage on every notice.
