Key Highlights: SSC GD 2026 Exam

What is SSC GD Cut Off?

The SSC GD Cut Off is the minimum normalised score obtained by the last shortlisted candidate in the Computer-Based Examination. SSC releases separate cut-offs:

• Category-wise (UR, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, ESM)
• Gender-wise (Male and Female)
• Force-wise (BSF, CISF, CRPF, SSB, ITBP, AR, SSF, NCB)
• State-wise (for PET/PST allocation)

Candidates scoring at or above the cut-off are shortlisted for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET/PST). A separate final cut-off is released after the Medical Examination and Document Verification stages.

Minimum Qualifying Marks for SSC GD CBT

Candidates must secure the following minimum qualifying percentages in the CBT:

Note: Clearing the minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee shortlisting. The actual cut-off (last shortlisted candidate's score) is typically much higher due to competition.

Factors Determining SSC GD Cut Off

As per our experts at Sreedhar's CCE, the key factors that influence the cut-off marks each year:

1. Total Number of Vacancies — More vacancies generally result in a lower cut-off, and vice versa.
2. Number of Candidates Appearing — Higher competition pushes cut-offs upward.
3. Difficulty Level of the Exam — A tougher paper leads to lower cut-offs.
4. Normalisation of Scores — Since CBT is conducted in multiple shifts, scores are normalised across shifts before the cut-off is declared.
5. Category-wise Reservation — Separate cut-offs apply for each reserved category.
6. NCC Bonus Marks — Candidates with NCC certificates receive bonus marks, which can affect the cut-off threshold.
7. State/Region — Border districts and Naxal/militancy-affected areas attract separate (generally lower) cut-offs.
