The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) conducts the Central Police Organization (CPO) exam every year to recruit candidates for various posts such as Sub-Inspector (SI) in Delhi Police, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) in CISF. The exam consists of four stages: Paper-I, Physical Standard Test (PST)/ Physical Endurance Test (PET), Paper-II and Detailed Medical Examination (DME).

The SSC CPO exam cut offs are the minimum marks that candidates need to score in each stage to qualify for the next stage and eventually for the final selection. The cut offs are decided by the SSC based on various factors such as the number of vacancies, the number of candidates, the difficulty level of the exam and the reservation norms.
The SSC CPO exam cut offs are released along with the result of each stage on the official website of SSC. Candidates can check the cut offs by logging in with their registration number and password. The cut offs are different for different categories and posts. Candidates who score equal to or more than the cut off marks are considered qualified and eligible for the next stage.
The SSC CPO exam cut offs for Paper-I and Paper-II are calculated out of 200 marks each, while the cut offs for PST/PET and DME are based on the physical and medical standards prescribed by the SSC. The final cut off is based on the aggregate marks obtained by the candidates in Paper-I and Paper-II.
The SSC CPO exam cut offs vary every year depending on the competition and performance of the candidates. However, candidates can get an idea of the expected cut offs by analyzing the previous year cut offs and trends. Here are some of the factors that affect the SSC CPO exam cut offs:
- Number of vacancies: The higher the number of vacancies, the lower the cut off and vice versa.
- Number of candidates: The higher the number of candidates, the higher the cut off and vice versa.
- Difficulty level of the exam: The higher the difficulty level of the exam, the lower the cut off and vice versa.
- Reservation norms: The cut offs are lower for reserved categories such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, etc. as compared to unreserved categories.

Candidates who are preparing for the SSC CPO exam should aim to score well above the expected cut off marks to secure their chances of selection. They should also practice mock tests and previous year papers to improve their speed and accuracy. They should also revise their syllabus thoroughly and focus on their weak areas. They should also keep themselves updated with the latest notifications and news regarding the SSC CPO exam.
