The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially announced the much-anticipated final results of the Sub-Inspector (SI) recruitment examination under the Central Police Organisation (CPO) 2024–25 cycle. The results bring an end to months of speculation and waiting for thousands of candidates who participated in one of the most competitive examinations for uniformed services in India.
The CPO SI examination aims to fill positions in the Delhi Police and various Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), including the BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP, and SSB. This year, the SSC has shortlisted around 5,296 candidates—4,841 men and 455 women—for final appointment after completing all recruitment stages. The final merit list has been uploaded on the official SSC website, marking the conclusion of a rigorous selection process that began with the notification last year.
The selection journey for the SSC CPO SI exam is known for its intensity and precision. Candidates first appear for Paper-I, a computer-based examination testing reasoning, quantitative aptitude, and general awareness. Those who qualify move on to the Physical Endurance and Measurement Test (PET/PST), where physical fitness is assessed according to strict standards. This is followed by Paper-II, which focuses on English language comprehension, and finally, the medical examination and document verification phase. Only candidates who clear every stage are considered for the final merit list.
According to SSC’s official notice, the final merit list has been prepared after carefully considering the aggregate marks from both papers and verifying candidates’ eligibility criteria. Tie cases have been resolved following the commission’s prescribed tie-breaking rules, ensuring transparency and fairness throughout the evaluation process. Candidates who find their roll numbers in the merit list can now look forward to receiving appointment instructions from their respective departments.
For those who wish to check their result, the process is simple. Candidates should visit the SSC’s official website at https://ssc.gov.in/ and navigate to the ‘Results’ section. Under the “CAPFs & Delhi Police” tab, they will find a link titled “Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPFs Examination, 2024 – Final Result.” Upon clicking, a PDF file will open containing the roll numbers and names of the shortlisted candidates. Aspirants are advised to download and save the result for future reference.
This result not only signifies the culmination of the recruitment drive but also marks a significant achievement for the selected candidates. Many of them have spent months preparing rigorously—balancing their academic studies, physical training, and mock practice tests—to earn this prestigious opportunity to serve in India’s law enforcement agencies. The announcement has brought joy and relief to successful candidates and their families, many of whom have shared their excitement on social media.
However, for those who did not make it to the final list, this result should not be seen as a setback but rather as a stepping stone. The SSC conducts this examination annually, offering fresh opportunities for aspirants who narrowly missed the cut. Candidates are encouraged to analyse their performance, identify weaker areas—whether in written tests or physical preparation—and begin working early for the next recruitment cycle. With determination and consistency, many candidates have managed to clear the exam in subsequent attempts.
Experts suggest that candidates should not only focus on academics but also maintain physical discipline throughout the year. Regular practice in running, endurance exercises, and mock tests can dramatically improve scores in both physical and written stages. Staying updated with current affairs and practicing previous year’s question papers also remains a key to success.
The SSC’s transparent and structured selection process continues to be one of the most reliable recruitment mechanisms for government service in India. By declaring results on time and maintaining a clear merit system, the commission upholds its reputation for fairness and credibility.
For successful candidates, the journey now moves to the next phase—joining formalities, training, and induction into their respective forces. The appointment letters are expected to be issued soon, followed by the commencement of basic training sessions.
Congratulations to all the selected candidates on achieving this milestone. For the others, perseverance remains the key—every effort made today brings you one step closer to success in the next attempt.
