State/UT-wise, area-wise (General, Border, Naxal/Militancy affected district) cut-off marks and the date of birth of the last shortlisted candidate for the other Forces are given in Annexure-I (female) and Annexure-II (male) of the result write-up PDF. Open it and look up your State/UT, category and area.
Important points from the result notice:
- Area-wise order: Naxal/militancy-affected-area candidates were first considered against those area vacancies, then general-area ones; border-area candidates likewise. A candidate from both areas was considered for naxal/militancy, then border, then general vacancies.
- Tie-break order: Part-A marks (General Intelligence and Reasoning), then Part-B (General Knowledge and General Awareness), then Part-C (Elementary Mathematics), then Date of Birth (older candidate higher), then alphabetical order of names.
- Category changed to UR: the result of 13,231 SC/ST/OBC candidates who migrated between States/UTs and did not opt for reservation from their State/UT of origin was processed under UR; 246 of them are shortlisted and included in List-I or List-II.
- Withheld and debarred: the result of 60 candidates (List-III) is withheld for various reasons, 3 candidates are withheld due to court cases, and the 88 candidates debarred by the Commission (List-IV) were not processed.
- Vacancies with no candidates: where vacancies exist but no candidates are available (no cut-off in Annexure-I/II), they may be filled at later stages, because reserved-category candidates may qualify at the UR cut-off in the CBE. For such vacancies, and where fewer candidates than required were shortlisted, the minimum qualifying marks of the category were taken as the cut-off for PET/PST.
- Answer keys: after examining the representations, the answer keys were modified wherever necessary and the Final Answer Keys were used to evaluate the response sheets. The Final Answer Keys, question papers cum response sheets and marks of qualified and non-qualified candidates will be made available on ssc.gov.in in due course (login with Registered ID and Password).
What to do next: PET/PST will be conducted by the CAPFs in due course, and call letters will be issued by the Nodal CAPF (CRPF). The notice gives no PET/PST dates yet, so keep checking the CRPF recruitment website and the SSC website regularly.
