SSC CPO PET/PST Result 2026: 10,676 Candidates Qualify for Paper II

Result update: 30 October 2026 | Reading time: 7–8 minutes

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has declared the Physical Endurance Test/Physical Standard Test (PET/PST) result for the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces Examination, 2025. The result notice appeared on the SSC website on 29 October 2026. Candidates shortlisted after the physical stage are eligible to move to Paper II, subject to the conditions in the Commission’s notice.

According to figures reported alongside the result notice, 10,676 candidates qualified for Paper II out of 48,387 candidates who had qualified in Paper I and were taken up for the PET/PST stage. The Commission’s result PDF is the controlling document for roll numbers and candidate status; candidates must check the official list rather than rely on a summary table.

Key details

What does the PET/PST result mean?

The PET/PST is a qualifying physical stage in the SSC CPO recruitment process. It assesses whether candidates meet the prescribed physical standards and endurance requirements. Qualification at this stage does not mean final selection or appointment. It allows the shortlisted candidate to proceed to the next stage, subject to the detailed recruitment rules and verification of eligibility.

There are two distinct checks. The Physical Standard Test assesses measurements and prescribed standards, while the Physical Endurance Test assesses specified physical activities. The requirements differ by candidate category and gender under the recruitment notice. Candidates should use the official notification for the exact standards and any applicable exemptions; a coaching chart or social-media graphic should not replace it.

Reported result figures

The reported qualified group includes 518 female candidates and 10,298 male candidates; the male figure includes 1,189 ex-servicemen. These numbers are useful for understanding the scale of the stage, but the candidate’s own roll number and status in the official SSC result notice are decisive. If a candidate’s result is withheld or marked temporary unfit, the individual should follow the instructions in the official notice and any subsequent communication from SSC.

How to check the SSC CPO PET/PST result

1. Open the official Staff Selection Commission website.
2. Go to the Notice Board or Results section.
3. Find the notice titled “Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces Examination, 2025: Declaration of result of PET/PST to shortlist candidates for appearing in Paper-II”, dated 29 October 2026.
4. Open the relevant result PDF. SSC may provide separate lists or annexures; read the notice carefully.
5. Use the PDF search function to locate your roll number. Check spelling and digits carefully.
6. Download and save the notice and result PDF for future reference.

What happens after qualification?

For candidates who have cleared the physical stage, the immediate priority is Paper II. Do not wait for the admission certificate before beginning preparation. The paper is focused on English Language and Comprehension, so the preparation method is different from the physical test: regular reading, grammar revision, vocabulary in context and timed practice are more useful than repeating physical-test routines.

Shortlisted candidates should shift their preparation to Paper II without waiting for the admission certificate. The next paper tests English Language and Comprehension. Preparation should cover grammar, vocabulary, sentence improvement, error detection, reading comprehension, cloze tests and related language skills according to the official syllabus.

The reported tentative date for Paper II is 28 November 2026. Candidates should treat this as a planning date, not a final guarantee, until SSC confirms the schedule in an official notice. The Commission can revise examination dates. The admission certificate and candidate-specific instructions should be downloaded from the official portal or the relevant regional SSC website when released.

Paper II preparation: a practical plan

• Reading comprehension: practise passages under a fixed time limit and identify the central argument, tone, inference and supporting detail.
• Grammar: revise subject–verb agreement, tenses, articles, prepositions, modifiers, voice, narration and sentence structure.
• Vocabulary: learn words in context, including synonyms, antonyms, idioms and commonly confused terms.
• Error analysis: maintain a record of recurring mistakes rather than merely counting attempted questions.
• Full-length practice: use the current official syllabus and examination instructions to set the paper format and time limit. Do not rely on a previous cycle if SSC has revised the scheme.

What follows Paper II?

Paper II is not the final appointment stage. Candidates who meet the written and other prescribed conditions proceed through the remaining stages under the recruitment notice, including the medical examination and document verification as applicable. Keep original educational certificates, identity documents, category certificates and any required service-related documents ready. The final allocation and appointment depend on the notified rules, vacancies, merit and successful completion of all stages.

India: quick static-GK facts

India’s President is Droupadi Murmu, the Prime Minister is Narendra Modi, the capital is New Delhi and the currency is the Indian rupee (INR). For police-exam static GK, revise the roles of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Delhi Police and the Central Armed Police Forces separately.

Candidate checklist

• Verify the roll number in the official PET/PST result PDF.
• Save a copy of the result notice and any candidate-specific communication.
• Check the SSC Notice Board regularly for Paper II schedule changes and admission-certificate updates.
• Keep the original identity proof and examination documents ready for later stages.
• Continue Paper II English preparation; do not assume PET/PST qualification is final selection.
• Follow the official notice if the result is withheld or the candidate is marked temporarily unfit.

Background: SSC CPO examination

The SSC Central Police Organisation examination is conducted to recruit Sub-Inspectors in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces. The recruitment process includes a computer-based Paper I, physical tests, Paper II and the prescribed medical examination and document-verification stages. The exact sequence, qualifying rules and allocation conditions are set out in the notice for the relevant examination year.

The Central Armed Police Forces covered by the recruitment include forces such as the BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP and SSB, as specified in the recruitment notification. Delhi Police Sub-Inspector posts are a separate service under the Delhi Police. Candidates should not confuse the SSC CPO examination with CAPF Assistant Commandant recruitment, which is a different examination conducted by UPSC.

Exam relevance and static GK

For SSC, police and other government examinations, the update reinforces the distinction between a qualifying physical test and a merit-based written stage. Static GK revision should include the full forms and roles of BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP and SSB, the Ministry of Home Affairs’ administrative role, and the difference between SSC CPO Sub-Inspector recruitment and UPSC CAPF Assistant Commandant recruitment.

For candidates preparing for other uniformed services, the practical lesson is to read physical standards from the relevant recruitment notice. Running distance, timing, height, chest measurements and exemptions are not identical across forces or recruitment cycles.

Candidate action summary

Check the official roll-number PDF first, save the result notice and begin Paper II preparation if shortlisted. Treat the reported 28 November date as tentative until SSC confirms it. A PET/PST shortlist is a progression to the next stage, not a final selection or appointment.
