The Cutoff is announced separately for the Computer-Based Test (CBT), the PET/PST stage, and the final stage, specifying the minimum marks secured by the last shortlisted candidate.
SSC GD category-wise cutoff varies every year, depending on the number of vacancies, performance of the candidates, normalisation across multiple shifts, and the difficulty level of the examination. The cutoff also varies depending on the vacancy distribution across forces such as the Narcotics Control Bureau and Secretariat Security Forces.
