SSC GD Cut-Off: State-Wise, Category-Wise, Force-Wise Last Selected Marks

ProSyllabus is an independent study site. We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the Staff Selection Commission, the Ministry of Home Affairs or any Central Armed Police Force. Every rule below is quoted or summarised from their published documents, and every sum, ratio or estimate is labelled as our own arithmetic. We print no candidate names or roll numbers.

From 25 lakh to 50,047: the 2025 funnel

Posts available were 53,690, so 50,047 recommended candidates leave 3,643 posts unfilled (our subtraction), which SSC says the forces carry to the next cycle; it also notes that four posts for women were kept vacant for temporarily unfit candidates and 84 posts for men were held under court orders. Results of 2,003 candidates were withheld and a further 345 were debarred and not processed. Three counts do not agree with one another and we print them rather than pick: paragraph 13 of the final write-up lists 4,817 women and 43,296 men recommended (48,113), while paragraph 7 gives 4,932 and 45,115 (50,047); the DME/DV shortlisting write-up lists 9,179 women and 86,085 men (95,264), while the final write-up says 95,575; and the annexure "Filled" columns for men sum to 45,102 against 45,115 printed. The category and gender totals in paragraph 7 are the ones the write-up itself calls recommended, so we use them.

EWS is the category that went most unfilled: 405 of 528 posts for women (76.7 per cent) and 3,720 of 4,767 for men (78.0 per cent), a pattern that fits the many EWS candidates who qualified at the UR standard and were counted there (2,090 EWS men and 188 EWS women selected at UR standard). The percentages and the link to the UR-standard counts are our reading; the write-up gives the figures, not the reason.

Cut-off by category: the national picture

The next tables summarise the "Cut-off marks" column of the general-area rows for each category, men and women. The range is wide because the rows span forces and states; the median is the typical last selected mark. The width of the range is the main message: the same category closes anywhere from the high 40s to the high 140s depending on the state and force.

Reserved categories do not always close below UR. A reserved candidate who qualified at the UR standard counted under UR, which leaves the reserved rows to those who did not; and where a reserved category has few candidates the last selected mark can be low. Compare the lowest values: the lowest general-area ST cut-off for men is 40.24 and the lowest SC cut-off for women 59.54, while the highest UR cut-off for men is 145.88.

Cut-off by force: UR, general area

Forces differ. Allocation to a force is by merit and the order of preference, so the force with the most popular posts closes higher. The table gives, for each force, the lowest, median and highest last-selected UR marks across the states in which it recruited in the general area.

All-India rows are separate: SSF UR men closed at 150.75, NCB UR men at 152.04 and NCB UR women at 149.13, which are higher than any state row for UR, because those posts are filled from the whole country rather than one state. There were no SSF posts for women. In 2026 NCB is not in the notice's vacancy list and SSF has 23 posts.

State-wise UR cut-offs: called to PET/PST, and last selected

For each state the table shows two numbers for unreserved candidates in the general area: the marks of the last candidate shortlisted for the PET/PST in the write-up of 17 June 2025, and the range of the last selected marks across the forces in the final result. The gap between the two is how much higher than the call line a candidate had to be to end up selected, and it depends on the force. Where a state has no general-area row (some border states) the cell shows a dash.

Among states with both a men's and a women's general-area row, the highest men's last-selected UR mark was in Rajasthan (145.88) and the lowest top mark in Goa (75.66); for women, Haryana (142.71) against Arunachal Pradesh (58.19). The heavily populated north and centre, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Uttarakhand, close highest; the north east, the islands and small UTs close lowest, because fewer candidates compete for each post. That reading is ours; the notice states no cause.
