The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) will release the official SSC CPO 2025 cut-off marks when results are declared on the official website ssc.gov.in. Ahead of that announcement, several education portals and exam analysts have estimated category-wise expected cut-off ranges for the SSC CPO Tier 1 exam 2025 based on previous years’ trends and the official answer key. The SSC CPO recruitment process includes a Tier 1 examination, Physical Standard Test (PST)/Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Paper 2, and medical examination. Candidates must meet the applicable cut-offs in Tier 1 to be shortlisted for subsequent stages.
Expected SSC CPO Tier 1 Cut-Off Ranges Based on Trends
Education analysts have projected the following expected SSC CPO Tier 1 cut-off ranges for Male and Female candidates. These estimates are indicative and subject to change upon official release.
Expected Cut-Off – Male Candidates (Tier 1)
Expected Cut-Off – Female Candidates (Tier 1)
These projected ranges are compiled using past cutoff data and exam difficulty patterns from earlier SSC CPO cycles.
Qualifying Criteria and Cut-Off Norms
The Staff Selection Commission sets minimum qualifying marks for Paper 1 and Paper 2 of the SSC CPO exam. For Tier 1 and Paper 2, candidates generally must secure:
- 30% of the total marks for the Unreserved category
- 25% for OBC/EWS candidates
- 20% for SC/ST and other reserved categories
These thresholds represent the minimum qualifying criteria, and the actual category-wise cut-off for selection is usually higher based on competition and vacancies.
Factors Influencing SSC CPO Cut-Off
Several factors influence how cut-off marks are determined:
- Number of candidates appearing in the exam
- Difficulty level of the Tier 1 paper
- Total vacancies available under CAPFs and Delhi Police
- Normalization process applied to multiple shifts
- Overall performance of candidates across categories
Next Steps After Cut-Off Release
Once the official SSC CPO cut-off 2025 is released along with the Tier 1 result:
- Candidates who meet the cut-off will be shortlisted for PST/PET.
- Those who clear physical tests will advance to Paper 2.
- Final selection will be based on combined performance across stages.
Candidates can check the cut-off and result details on the official SSC website ssc.gov.in when published.
