The wait is over for thousands of police recruitment aspirants. The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) declared the Physical Endurance Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST) result for the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) Examination 2025 on Wednesday, October 29, 2026. A total of 10,676 candidates have qualified the physical tests and will now move to Paper 2.
Candidates who appeared for the physical tests can check their qualifying status on the official SSC website, ssc.gov.in. The Commission has published the result in separate PDF lists, and candidates need to search for their roll number in the relevant list to know whether they have cleared this stage.
The recruitment covers 3,073 Sub-Inspector vacancies in Delhi Police and the CAPFs, including the CRPF, CISF, BSF, ITBP and SSB. With the physical stage complete, attention now turns to Paper 2, tentatively scheduled for November 28, 2026.
The numbers behind the result
According to the result write-up issued by SSC on October 29, a total of 48,387 candidates had qualified in Paper 1 and were called for the physical stage. The PET and PST were conducted by the CAPFs between July 21 and 30, 2026. The final tally shows how demanding this stage was, and how many candidates did not turn up at all.
- Qualified: 10,676 candidates
- Not qualified: 10,622 candidates
- Absent: 26,949 candidates
- Temporarily unfit: 4 candidates
- Result withheld: 136 candidates
- Total called for PET/PST: 48,387 candidates
In simple terms, only about one in five candidates called for the physical tests has made it through to Paper 2. More than half of those who had cleared Paper 1 did not appear for the physical tests at all.
How to check the SSC CPO PET/PST result
The result is available only through the official SSC website. Candidates should avoid relying on screenshots or forwarded lists shared on social media, and check the official PDF directly:
- Visit the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in.
- Open the Results section on the homepage.
- Find the notification titled “Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPFs Examination, 2025: Declaration of Result of PET/PST for Appearing in Paper-II”.
- Download the PDF list that applies to you, for female candidates, male candidates or withheld results.
- Open the PDF and press Ctrl + F, then type your roll number to search.
- Save the PDF for future reference.
Candidates should also read the result write-up that accompanies the lists. It carries the cutoff details and the instructions for Paper 2, and it is the document to trust if any unofficial list says something different.
Three separate lists, and 136 withheld results
SSC has issued three separate lists. List 1 covers female candidates, List 2 covers male candidates, and List 3 covers candidates whose results have been withheld. The 136 withheld results relate to candidates whose cases were referred by the nodal force, the Border Security Force (BSF), for various reasons.
Candidates in the withheld list should follow official SSC communications about their candidature status, rather than assuming they have either passed or failed. For everyone else, the message is clear. If your roll number is in the qualified list, you are through to Paper 2.
What happens next: Paper 2 on November 28
Paper 2 is tentatively scheduled for November 28, 2026, according to the PET/PST result notice. Candidates who qualified should treat this date as the working plan, while keeping an eye on ssc.gov.in for the confirmed schedule and admit card notice. Admission certificates will be issued in due course by the concerned SSC Regional Offices.
Paper 2 tests English Language and Comprehension. Under the pattern in the SSC CPO 2025 notification, it carries 200 questions for 200 marks, with a duration of two hours. After Paper 2, the remaining stages follow the official notification, including document verification and a medical examination, before final selection.
This recruitment began with a notification on September 26, 2025. Applicants needed a graduate degree, and the age limit was 20 to 25 years as on August 1, 2025, subject to age relaxations. Paper 1 was held from December 9 to 12, 2025, and its result was declared on March 30, 2026. The posts are at Pay Level 6, with a pay scale of Rs. 35,400 to Rs. 1,12,400.
Qualified candidates should now download and save the official result PDF, note the tentative Paper 2 date, and start revision for English without waiting for the admit card. Check ssc.gov.in and your regional SSC website for the confirmed schedule, rather than depending on social media posts for dates.
