Qualifying floor versus competitive cut-off
The minimum qualifying thresholds before NCC bonus were UR 60 marks, OBC/EWS 50 and other categories 40. Those floors were not the same as the competitive shortlist marks above. The result used normalized scores and provisional NCC bonuses subject to verification.
Choose the correct list
Female, male and Delhi Police departmental candidates have separate tables. A departmental score should not be compared with the general male threshold. The ESM entry shown as not listed is not a zero-mark cut-off. The PDF’s category notes explain candidates qualifying at UR standards.
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.
