📢 Important Announcement

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially declared the SSC CPO Result 2026 for Paper-I on 30 March 2026. The result was released in PDF format, carrying the names and roll numbers of candidates shortlisted for the next stage of the selection process.

Now SSC has taken the next step. The Final Answer Keys, Question Papers, Response Sheets, and Individual Marks for the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPFs Examination, 2025 (Paper-I) are officially live.

The portal opened on 21 April 2026 at 6:00 PM and stays active until 6 May 2026 at 6:00 PM. That's exactly 16 days. After that, SSC has been absolutely clear — no individual requests for these documents will be entertained under any circumstances.

🎯 Why This Release Matters More Than You Think

Most candidates treat this as just a curiosity — "let me check my score." That's a mistake.

This is your only chance to legally own a copy of your exact Question Paper, your Response Sheet (what you actually marked), and the Final Answer Key against which SSC evaluated your answers. Whether you qualified or not — this document set is yours to keep, and it serves real purposes.

A total of 48,615 candidates have been shortlisted for the next stage — PET/PST (Physical Tests). If your name is on that list, you'll need these documents for future verification stages. If it isn't, you need the Response Sheet to do an honest post-mortem — was it General Awareness? Reasoning? Quant? Without it, you're guessing.

Note: The results of 12 candidates have been withheld due to administrative reasons. If you're one of them, downloading your documents immediately becomes even more critical for any future correspondence with SSC.
The Commission has included an undertaking on the portal stating the saved Question Paper is strictly for personal use and self-analysis. Treat it seriously.

📄 What Each Document Actually Means

Don't just download and forget. Here's what you're actually looking at:

Final Answer Key

Once the objection window closes, the Final Answer Key is published. After that, the result is announced based on the final scores. The Paper-I result declared on 30 March 2026 was calculated against this exact key.

Response Sheet

The response sheet shows the answers you marked during the exam against the official answer key, enabling candidates to calculate their score before the final result is published.

Question Paper

Your exact paper, personally time-stamped to your exam slot. The undertaking specifies personal use only — don't upload it on Telegram channels or coaching platforms.

Marks / Scorecard

The commission will also publish the marks for all candidates — both those who qualified and those who didn't — on its official website. This is your permanent academic record of this attempt.

🧮 How to Calculate Your Score

Don't just trust the portal blindly. Verify it yourself.

You can calculate your tentative score using the marking scheme — award 1 mark for correct answers and deduct 0.25 marks for wrong answers.

📌 Example Calculation

If you attempted 85 questions in total, out of which 12 are wrong:

Final Marks = (73×1) – (12×0.25) = 73 – 3 = 70

Apply this formula:

Final Score = (Correct Answers × 1) − (Wrong Answers × 0.25)

Unanswered questions carry zero — neither positive nor negative. Calculate section-wise (GK, Reasoning, Quant, English) to identify your weakest area.

⏰ Critical Deadline

📅 Exam Conducted 09–12 December 2025
📝 Paper-I Result 30 March 2026
🔓 Portal Opens 21 April 2026 (6:00 PM)
🔒 Portal Closes 06 May 2026 (6:00 PM)

Warning: The official notice is unambiguous: individual requests will not be entertained under any circumstances after the deadline. No exceptions for internet outages, illness, or forgetting. Treat this like exam day itself. Don't delay.


✅ After Download: Action Checklist

Before you close the portal, do each of these:

  • Cross-verify your answers: Pick 15–20 questions you were confident about. Check if your Response Sheet matches your memory. Any mismatch — note it immediately with the question number.
  • Calculate your raw score: Apply the 0.25 negative marking formula manually. Then compare against your official scorecard. If they don't match, contact SSC helpdesk with proof.
  • Check your paper series: All four sets (A, B, C, D) have different questions and different answer keys. When the official answer key is released, carefully check the answers of the set you were allotted to avoid confusion.
  • Print right now: Don't save and "print later." Later becomes never. Print today.
  • Email yourself: Send all PDFs to your email with the subject: "SSC CPO SI 2025 Paper-I Answer Key & Marks." Cloud backup that survives phone crashes.
  • Check personal details: Name, roll number, category — all must be correct on the scorecard. Found an error? Contact SSC immediately with your registration number.

🔧 Issue Resolution Guide

❌ Website Not Loading / Server Error
✅ Try between 12 AM–7 AM. Use Chrome or Firefox. Clear browser cache (Ctrl+Shift+Delete). Switch from WiFi to mobile data if needed.
❌ Login Failed / Invalid Credentials
✅ For the answer key portal: use Roll Number. For marks on ssc.gov.in: use Registered ID. These are two different credentials — mixing them up is the most common mistake. Retrieve your Roll Number from your admit card email.
❌ PDF Not Downloading / Blank Page
✅ Disable ad-blockers and pop-up blockers. Allow downloads from the SSC domain. If the page stays blank after login, refresh once — don't click repeatedly or it may log you out.
❌ Response Sheet Shows Unexpected Answers
✅ Note exact question numbers, take screenshots, and contact SSC helpdesk with your Roll Number. Document everything. This becomes proof at every future SSC interaction.
❌ My Score Doesn't Match the Portal
✅ Recheck your paper series (A/B/C/D) and recalculate. If still incorrect after double-checking, email SSC helpdesk with your Roll Number and the calculation discrepancy clearly shown.

📚 Preparation Strategy: What Comes Next

The SSC CPO selection flow is clear:

Paper-I (CBT) → PET/PST → Medical Examination → Paper-II (CBT) → Document Verification → Final Appointment

If You Qualified Paper-I:

Candidates who have qualified in Paper-I will now be called for the next stage, which comprises the Physical Endurance Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST). These tests will be conducted by the CAPF, and the dates for the same will be released shortly on the official SSC website.

The Physical Test includes:

  • PST (Physical Standard Test) → Height, Chest, Weight
  • PET (Physical Endurance Test) → Running, Jumping

Both are qualifying in nature (no marks added), but failing any test leads to disqualification.

Start physical preparation TODAY. Not next week. Today.

After clearing PST/PET, candidates will appear for Paper-II. This is an objective test of 200 marks focusing entirely on English Comprehension and Grammar.

Keep all downloaded documents safe — you'll need them at Document Verification stage.

If You Didn't Qualify:

Analyze your Response Sheet section by section. Which subject pulled your score down — General Awareness, Reasoning, or Quant? Re-solve the paper calmly now. The gap between your exam-day score and your calm-mind score tells you exactly how much pressure cost you.

Many aspirants focus only on the written examination, but clearing the physical test is equally important for final selection. For your next attempt, build both written prep and physical fitness simultaneously from Day 1.

Paper-II is entirely English (200 marks) — start English preparation early. It is a major score differentiator that most candidates underestimate.

❓ Expert Q&A

Q: I forgot my Roll Number. Can I still access the answer key?

A: The answer key portal needs your Roll Number. Check your old admit card emails or SMS from SSC from around exam time. For marks on ssc.gov.in, your Registered ID works separately.

Q: Is there any chance to challenge an answer now?

A: No. SSC opens an objection window allowing aspirants to raise objections against the provisional answer key. The final answer key is released afterwards. That window closed before the result on 30 March 2026. No further challenges are possible.

Q: Can I get these documents after 6 May via RTI or email?

A: The official notice explicitly states individual requests won't be entertained under any circumstances after the deadline. RTI is a separate legal route, but don't rely on it. Download now, no excuses.

Q: My calculated marks don't match the portal. Why?

A: First, double-check which paper series (A/B/C/D) you had. Award 1 mark for correct answers and deduct 0.25 for wrong answers out of the total. Unattempted questions = 0. If still mismatched after that, contact SSC helpdesk with documented proof immediately.

Q: The undertaking says "personal use only." Can I discuss questions with friends?

A: Personal discussion for learning is generally fine. Don't upload the full Question Paper on Telegram, YouTube, or coaching websites — SSC tracks misuse, and it can create legal complications. Use it to learn, not to broadcast.

Q: I am one of the 12 withheld candidates. What do I do?

A: SSC has withheld results of 12 candidates due to verification or administrative reasons. These cases will be reviewed separately. Download your documents while the portal is open and contact SSC helpdesk immediately with your Roll Number and registration details. Keep every piece of documentation ready.
