The Staff Selection Commission has declared the SSC CPO PET/PST Result 2026 on 29 October 2026, closing the physical-test stage of the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPFs Examination 2025. Out of 48,387 candidates who had cleared Paper 1 and were called for the physical tests, 10,676 have qualified and will now sit Paper 2, tentatively scheduled for 28 November 2026.

If you appeared for the PET/PST held between 21 and 30 July 2026, this is the result that decides whether your journey continues. SSC has not released individual scorecards or a login-based result for this stage — qualification is confirmed only by finding your roll number in one of three official PDF lists. This article gives you those lists, the full stage-wise numbers, and what to do next, including the two traps that catch candidates every year: checking the wrong list, and treating the tentative Paper 2 date as final.

SSC CPO PET PST Result 2026 — Key Details

What the Numbers Actually Say

The headline figure — 10,676 qualified — only makes sense against the full funnel. Nearly 48,000 candidates reached the physical stage, and more than half of them simply did not turn up. That is the single biggest reason the qualified count looks small next to the Paper 1 qualified figure, and it is worth understanding before you read anything into cut-offs or competition.

In other words, of the candidates who actually appeared, roughly half qualified. The 26,949 absentees are the story of this stage — physical tests are conducted across CAPF centres, often far from home, and a large number of Paper 1 qualifiers never report. If you qualified, you are already past the stage that eliminated the largest single group.

Download the Result PDFs — All Three Lists

SSC published three separate lists. Open only the list that applies to you — the male and female lists are separate documents, and searching the wrong one is the most common reason candidates wrongly conclude they failed.

The lists are roll-number based. Open the PDF, press Ctrl + F, type your roll number exactly as printed on your admit card, and check for a match. Save a copy of the PDF — SSC result pages get reorganised over time, and you may need this list again during document verification.

Category-Wise Qualified Candidates

The result write-up breaks the qualified candidates down by category. The female list carries 518 candidates, including four marked temporarily unfit, and the male list carries 10,298 candidates.

Female Candidates (List 1)

Male Candidates (List 2)

One honest note on these figures: the write-up’s headline qualified total is 10,676. Do not try to reverse-engineer your chances from the category tables — your own roll number’s presence in the right list is the only result that matters for you.

Withheld Results and Court Cases — Read This Before Worrying

List 3 carries 136 candidates whose results have been withheld on the recommendation of the nodal force, the Border Security Force (BSF). A withheld result is not a rejection. It means SSC is holding that candidature pending some verification or clarification, and affected candidates should follow official SSC communications rather than acting on rumours or aggregator posts.

Separately, 97 candidates have been provisionally permitted to appear in Paper 2 because their cases are pending before various courts. Their participation in Paper 2 does not guarantee final selection — their candidature remains subject to the outcome of those court cases. If you are in either group, the worst thing you can do is stop preparing; keep studying for Paper 2 while the legal position clarifies.

How to Check SSC CPO PET PST Result 2026

1. Download the list that applies to you from the table above (List 1 for female candidates, List 2 for male candidates, List 3 if you suspect your result was withheld).
2. Open the PDF and press Ctrl + F (or use your phone PDF reader’s search).
3. Enter your roll number exactly as on your admit card — do not search by name, the lists are roll-number based.
4. If your roll number appears, you have qualified for Paper 2. Save the PDF and note the Paper 2 date below.
5. If it does not appear, check List 3 (withheld) before concluding anything, and re-check that you opened the correct male/female list.

SSC CPO Paper 2 — What Happens Next

Paper 2 is a single-subject test, and that is good news for preparation: there is no second round of general studies to revise. The pattern prescribed in the SSC CPO 2025 notification is:

Paper 2 is tentatively scheduled for 28 November 2026. Treat that word — tentative — seriously. SSC has already shifted dates in this cycle (the physical tests themselves ran in July 2026, months after Paper 1), so confirm the final schedule on ssc.gov.in and your regional SSC website before booking travel. Admission certificates for Paper 2 will be issued in due course by the concerned SSC Regional Offices; there is no separate application or fee for Paper 2.

After Paper 2, the remaining stages follow the CPO 2025 notification: medical examination, document verification and final selection against the 3,073 revised tentative vacancies. Keep your original documents ready now — educational certificates, caste/category certificate if applicable, and the Paper 1 and PET/PST admit cards — rather than hunting for them after the Paper 2 result.

Common Mistakes Candidates Make at This Stage

Checking the wrong list. Male candidates searching List 1, or female candidates searching List 2, will find nothing and panic for no reason. Match the list to yourself first, then search.

Searching by name. The PDFs are roll-number lists. A name search will fail even if you qualified.

Treating “tentative” as confirmed. 28 November 2026 is the tentative Paper 2 date in the result notice, not a confirmed admit-card date. Check ssc.gov.in for the confirmed schedule.

Ignoring the withheld list. If your roll number is in neither the male nor female list, check List 3 before assuming you failed — 136 candidates are in exactly that position, and their cases are still open.

Stopping preparation. Paper 2 is 200 marks of English alone. Candidates who treat the gap between the PET/PST result and Paper 2 as a holiday hand the advantage to everyone who keeps practising comprehension and grammar daily.
