What Changed in the SSC Havaldar Additional Result on 7 October 2026?
When SSC declared the CBE result on 3 August 2026, it did not process the result of 727 candidates. The Commission said these candidates were found indulging in malpractices in the CBE under Para 20 of the notice and its notice dated 10 September 2025 on malpractices in Computer Based Examinations. Some of them took the matter to the Hon’ble CAT-PB. To implement the partial relief granted by the Hon’ble CAT-PB, SSC has now processed the results of all 727.
| Group | Number | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Result not processed on 3 August 2026 | 727 | Now processed after CAT-PB partial relief |
| Shortlisted for Havaldar PET/PST (List) | 542 | Candidature kept withheld |
| Shortlisted, result in sealed cover | 15 | Pending police investigation |
Please read this part slowly. Being on the list of 542 does not mean your candidature is cleared. SSC has written clearly that it is withheld on account of suspicious activities/malpractices. The 15 sealed-cover roll numbers are printed inside the 7 October write-up itself, and they are separate from the 542. SSC also says all other terms and conditions of the 3 August 2026 write-up remain unchanged. The write-up does not say what withheld candidates should do next, so keep watching the SSC website.
What Are the Key Highlights of SSC MTS Havaldar Result 2026?

| Shortlisting ratio | 1:7 (vacancies : candidates) |
| Results debarred by Regional Offices | 169 (List-III) |
| PET/PST schedule | Not announced yet — “in due course” |
Because the CBE ran in many shifts, marks were normalised as per the formula in SSC’s notice dated 2 June 2025. Shortlisting for PET/PST is based only on the normalised Session-II score. You were considered only for the Post-cum-CCAs you chose in your online application form. Candidates who did not qualify Session-I were not eligible for evaluation of Session-II. The results of 2 candidates were withheld on account of suspicious activities, and the results of 169 candidates were debarred by their Regional Offices for various reasons.
How Many Candidates Are Shortlisted for SSC Havaldar PET/PST Category-Wise?
This is List-I from the 3 August 2026 write-up, exactly as SSC printed it.
| Category | Vacancy | Candidates Shortlisted |
|---|---|---|
| EWS | 120 | 840 |
| SC | 126 | 882 |
| ST | 87 | 609 |
| OBC | 237 | 1,659 |
| UR | 448 | 3,136* |
| ESM | 99 | 693 |
| OH | 13 | 91 |
| HH | 11 | 77 |
| Other PwBD | 12 | 84 |
*The UR figure includes EWS-300, SC-105, ST-25 and OBC-1574 candidates who provisionally qualified at the UR cut-off.
| Horizontal Category | Includes |
|---|---|
| ESM (693) | EWS-12, SC-19, ST-01, OBC-294, UR-367 |
| OH (91) | EWS-11, SC-13, ST-02, OBC-34, UR-31 |

| Other PwBD (84) | EWS-06, SC-09, ST-03, OBC-37, UR-29 |
The vacancy column is what SSC printed in List-I. It is different from the 1075 tentative Havaldar vacancies in the 2025 notice, and neither result write-up calls any figure final. The 7 October write-up does not give a category-wise split of the 542.
What Are the Minimum Qualifying Marks in SSC MTS Havaldar CBE 2025?
| Category | Minimum Marks (Session-I and Session-II) |
|---|---|
| UR | 30% |
| OBC / EWS | 25% |
| All other categories | 20% |
What Is the SSC Havaldar Cut-Off 2026 for UR Category (CCA-Wise)?
Annexure-I of the 3 August write-up gives the cut-off for every CCA and every category. The table here shows only the UR cut-off (normalised Session-II marks) for each CCA. For your own category, open Annexure-I in the 3 August result write-up from this update’s Essential Links. Rows with nil reported vacancies are not shown in Annexure-I, which is why DGPM (Directorate) has no UR row.
| CCA (Post) | UR Cut-Off (Session-II) | Candidates Available |
|---|---|---|
| Chandigarh (CGST) | 137.84060 | 287 |
| Delhi (CGST) | 142.35543 | 77 |
| Jaipur (CGST) | 139.36881 | 42 |
| Lucknow (CGST) | 141.03921 | 42 |

| Ranchi (CGST) | 135.67147 | 91 |
| Kolkata (Customs) | 133.71082 | 77 |

| Thiruvananthapuram (Cochin) (Customs) | 129.48360 | 7 |
| Thiruvananthapuram (Cochin) (CGST) | 120.40709 | 42 |
| CBN (Directorate) | 121.55781 | 133 |
When two or more candidates had equal Session-II marks, SSC broke the tie in this order:
- Normalised marks in General Awareness of Session-II.
- Total normalised marks in Session-I.
- Date of birth — the older candidate gets preference.
- Alphabetical order of names.
What Happens Next After the SSC Havaldar PET/PST Shortlist?
| Stage | What SSC Says |
|---|---|
| PET/PST for Havaldar | Schedule will be on the SSC website in due course — no date yet |
| If you fail PET/PST | Not considered for Havaldar in the final result |
| If you fail PET/PST but are shortlisted for MTS | Candidature stays valid for MTS |
| First Round of Tentative Allocation | Declared together for MTS and Havaldar after PET/PST |
| Answer keys | Modified wherever necessary; final keys used for evaluation |
| Final answer keys and marks | Uploaded after the final result |
| 727 malpractice cases (3 August) | Could represent before the concerned Regional Office |
So the most important job now is to get ready for PET/PST. The walking test and the height, chest and weight standards are given in the PET/PST part of this article, taken from the 2025 notice — neither result write-up repeats them. Start your walking practice now; SSC will publish the schedule in due course. The write-ups do not publish an MTS cut-off or a separate MTS list; MTS allocation will come together with Havaldar after PET/PST.
What Are the SSC Havaldar PET/PST 2026 Rules to Know Before the Test?
These conditions come from the 2025 notice (Para 14.7) and apply to everyone shortlisted for PET/PST.
| Condition | What It Means for You |
|---|---|
| PET/PST centre | Conducted by CBIC/CBN; you may be called to any centre across the country |
| PST relaxation claim | Carry the required documents to PET/PST; CBIC/CBN checks them there |
| PwBD (OL, OAL, LC) | May be exempted from walking, only with a medical certificate from a Government Medical Officer / Medical Board |
| PwBD (HH, OA) | No exemption |
| Woman found pregnant 12 weeks or more | Declared temporarily unfit; candidature held in abeyance until confinement is over |

If you plan to claim a height, chest or weight relaxation, arrange your documents now so you are not turned back on the day.
