Delhi Police Cut Off for Constable (Executive): Past Marks and Trends

How the delhi police cut off is set

There is only one scored paper, the 100 mark computer based test, so every cut off is a CBT score. SSC first converts raw marks into normalised marks, because the test runs over many shifts and some shifts are harder than others. It then ranks candidates category by category and draws a line wherever the number needed for the next stage is filled.

Two different lines matter to you:

• CBT cut off: decides who is called for the PE&MT, the physical round. SSC calls many more people than there are posts, because a large share fail the race or the measurements.
• Final cut off: the closing score of the final candidate picked in each category once the race, measurements, medical and paperwork are over.

Men and women compete in separate lists, and ex-servicemen have their own lists split into commando and other ex-servicemen.

CBT cut off of the 2025 exam

The CBT of the 2025 exam was held from December into January, and SSC announced the result with these cut offs for the physical stage.

For male ex-servicemen, the CBT cut off was 28.79827 for UR and OBC in the others list and 25 for the remaining categories, while every category in the commando list stood at 25, which is the qualifying floor itself.

Final cut off of the 2023 exam

These are the closing scores of selected candidates after the PE&MT and medical stages of the 2023 exam.

For male ex-servicemen in the others list the final marks were 41.91 (UR), 54.90 (OBC), 25.56 (EWS), 25.51 (SC) and 29.87 (ST).

Delhi police constable previous year cut off: the trend

Comparing the two cycles shows a clear pattern:

• The open male UR line moved from about 68 (final, 2023 exam) to about 70 at the shortlist stage of the 2025 exam, so a score in the low 70s has become the realistic aim for men.
• Women's cut offs sit roughly 5 to 9 marks below men's in the same category.
• OBC cut offs have been almost level with UR, and in the 2025 exam they were identical for men.
• Ex-servicemen lists often close at or near the qualifying minimum.

A final cut off can also be lower than the CBT shortlist line for some categories, since many shortlisted people drop out at the race or the medical.

Qualifying marks versus the selection line

To be counted at all, you must reach the minimum qualifying marks in the CBT: 35 for UR, 30 for OBC, SC, ST and EWS, and 25 for ex-servicemen. These are floors, not targets. With lakhs of applicants and a few thousand posts, the real competition is decided far above them, as the tables show.

Factors that could shift the next line

• Number of posts: the 2025 notice listed about 7,565 provisional vacancies. More posts usually means a lower line.
• Paper difficulty and normalisation: a tougher GK section lowers raw marks, but normalisation evens out shift differences.
• Number of candidates: applications for this exam run into lakhs, so even a small rise in serious candidates lifts the line.
• Category and gender quotas: each list closes independently.

Nobody can publish an official expected cut off in advance; treat any such figure as a guess. Plan with the past lines and a few marks of margin.
