Last Updated: 3 August 2026

The SSC MTS Result 2025-26 has been declared for the Multi-Tasking (Non-Technical) Staff and Havaldar (CBIC & CBN) Examination, 2025. The Staff Selection Commission released the Computer-Based Examination result on 3 August 2026 to shortlist candidates for the Havaldar PET/PST.

According to the official result notice, SSC received 36,19,834 applications, of which 8,04,633 candidates appeared in the Computer-Based Examination conducted from 4 February to 20 February 2026. Based on normalized marks obtained in Session II, 8,071 candidates have been provisionally shortlisted for PET/PST against 1,153 Havaldar vacancies.

Candidates can download the SSC MTS and Havaldar Result 2025-26 PDF and check the official CCA-wise and category-wise cut-off marks at ssc.gov.in.

Important Update: The result released on 3 August 2026 belongs to the SSC MTS and Havaldar Examination 2025-26 cycle. It is the CBE result for shortlisting candidates for the Havaldar PET/PST—not the final MTS or Havaldar result. SSC will declare the first round of tentative allocation for both posts after completion of the Havaldar PET/PST.

Candidates should download the result PDF only from the official website of the Staff Selection Commission.

SSC conducted the MTS and Havaldar Computer-Based Examination in multiple shifts. Candidates’ marks were therefore normalized according to the official SSC normalization formula.

Candidates have been shortlisted for Havaldar PET/PST in a 1:7 vacancy-to-candidate ratio, based on their normalized Session-II scores. Candidates who failed to qualify Session I were not eligible for the evaluation of Session II.

• Havaldar PET/PST shortlisted-candidates list
• Category-wise number of shortlisted candidates
• CCA-wise and category-wise Havaldar cut-off marks

The following table shows the category-wise Havaldar vacancies and number of candidates provisionally shortlisted for PET/PST:

*The UR shortlist includes 300 EWS, 105 SC, 25 ST and 1,574 OBC candidates who qualified at the UR cut-off.

Category Composition of Special Categories

SSC has provided the following category composition:

• 693 ESM candidates: EWS–12, SC–19, ST–1, OBC–294 and UR–367
• 91 OH candidates: EWS–11, SC–13, ST–2, OBC–34 and UR–31
• 77 HH candidates: EWS–9, SC–5, ST–2, OBC–29 and UR–32
• 84 Other PwBD candidates: EWS–6, SC–9, ST–3, OBC–37 and UR–29

Candidates were required to secure the prescribed minimum qualifying marks separately in Session I and Session II.

Candidates who failed to qualify Session I were not eligible for the evaluation of Session II.

Minimum qualifying marks and actual cut-off marks are different. The minimum percentage only determines basic qualification, whereas the actual Havaldar cut-off varies according to CCA, post, category, vacancies and candidates’ normalized scores.

SSC has released separate Havaldar cut-offs according to:

• CCA or department
• Havaldar CGST, Customs or Directorate post
• Candidate’s category
• Post-cum-CCA preference
• Normalized Session-II marks

Therefore, there is no single all-India Havaldar cut-off applicable to every candidate.

The following table shows the official normalized Session-II UR cut-off marks wherever UR vacancies were reported:

Candidates must check the exact category and CCA row applicable to them in the official result annexure.

The following are some of the highest reported UR cut-offs:

The highest reported UR cut-off is 142.35543 marks for Delhi CGST.

These cut-offs should not be treated as one common national cut-off because the vacancies, competition and candidate preferences differ across CCAs.

Candidates were considered only for those post-cum-CCAs selected in their online application forms. Therefore, the Havaldar cut-off varies according to:

• Number of vacancies under the concerned CCA
• Number of candidates selecting that CCA
• Performance of eligible candidates
• Category-wise reservation
• Difficulty level across shifts
• Normalized marks
• The official 1:7 shortlisting ratio

As a result, two candidates with similar normalized marks may receive different qualifying outcomes depending on their categories and post-cum-CCA preferences.

The SSC MTS and Havaldar CBE was conducted in multiple shifts. SSC therefore normalized candidates’ raw marks according to the formula published by the Commission on 2 June 2025.

Normalization adjusts candidates’ scores to account for differences in difficulty levels across examination shifts.

For Havaldar shortlisting:

• Qualifying Session I was compulsory.
• Normalized Session-II marks were used to prepare the shortlist.
• Candidates were considered only for their selected post-cum-CCAs.
• Candidates were shortlisted in a 1:7 ratio against vacancies.

Candidates should compare their normalized score—not merely their raw score—with the applicable official cut-off.

If two or more candidates secured equal aggregate normalized marks in Session II, SSC resolved the tie by applying the following criteria in order:

1. Higher normalized marks in General Awareness of Session II
2. Higher total normalized marks in Session I
3. Earlier date of birth, with the older candidate receiving preference
4. Alphabetical order of candidates’ names

The next criterion was used only if the tie remained unresolved under the previous criterion.

Candidates shortlisted for Havaldar must appear for the Physical Efficiency Test and Physical Standard Test.

The PET/PST schedule will be released separately on the official SSC website. Candidates should also regularly check the website of their concerned SSC Regional Office.

No. If a candidate fails to qualify the Havaldar PET/PST, the candidate will not be considered for Havaldar final selection.

However, if the same candidate is shortlisted for MTS, their candidature for the MTS post will remain valid.

SSC will declare the first round of tentative allocation for MTS and Havaldar after completion of the Havaldar PET/PST.

Shortlisted candidates should begin physical-test preparation without waiting for the schedule.

Candidates should:

• Start regular physical training immediately.
• Keep the result PDF and application form safely.
• Arrange original educational and category certificates.
• Ensure that the name and date of birth on all documents match the application.
• Keep valid photo identity proof ready.
• Check the SSC and regional SSC websites regularly.
• Download the PET/PST admission certificate when released.
• Carefully follow the reporting time and test instructions.
• Avoid relying on unofficial dates circulated on social media.

Candidates must follow the applicable PET/PST standards mentioned in the original SSC MTS and Havaldar Examination 2025 notification.

SSC examined the representations received against the tentative answer keys. Answers were modified wherever necessary, and the revised final answer keys were used to evaluate candidates’ performance.

According to the official result notice:

The final answer keys and marks of qualified and non-qualified candidates will be uploaded after declaration of the final result.

Candidates should not rely on unofficial scorecard or marks-release dates unless SSC publishes a separate notice.

SSC also announced the following result-processing details:

• Results of 2 candidates were withheld due to suspicious activities.
• Results of 727 candidates were not processed due to malpractice findings.
• 169 candidates were debarred by their respective Regional Offices for various reasons.
