SSC GD Constable Result 2026 Out – Check PET/PST Shortlist @ ssc.gov.in

It’s out. If you sat the SSC GD Constable exam earlier this year, your wait is over — the Staff Selection Commission has declared the SSC GD Constable Result 2026, and the shortlist for the physical tests is live on the official website.

Here’s the honest answer to the question everyone’s asking: no, this result doesn’t hand you the job. It tells you whether you’ve made it to the next round — the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST). Roughly 1,97,408 candidates have cleared this stage. If your roll number is on that list, the real work starts now.

What SSC Actually Released

On 12 October 2026, SSC published the notice titled “Constable (GD) in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and SSF, and Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles Examination, 2026 – Shortlisting of candidates to appear in Physical Efficiency Test (PET)/Physical Standard Test (PST)”. The notice sits at the top of the “New” section on the SSC official website, so you don’t have to dig through old pages to find it.

The result comes as PDF lists. You search for your roll number in the list that matches your category and gender. Alongside the lists, SSC has issued the result write-up with cut-off details — read both together, because the cut-off varies by category, gender, state and force.

Who Made the Cut?

The numbers tell the story. This recruitment covers 25,487 vacancies for Constable (GD) in CAPFs and SSF, Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles and Sepoy in the Narcotics Control Bureau. Against those posts, 1,97,408 candidates have been shortlisted for PET/PST, as reported in the result updates. That’s roughly eight candidates per vacancy at this stage — competitive, but far from hopeless.

One thing worth saying plainly: shortlisting for PET/PST is not selection. You still have to clear the physical tests, document verification and the medical examination. Treat this as a door opening, not a finish line.

How to Check the SSC GD Constable Result 2026

1. Go to the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in.
2. Open the Results section, or look for the notice under the “New” updates on the homepage.
3. Find the notice for the Constable (GD) Examination 2026 — shortlisting for PET/PST, dated 12 October 2026.
4. Open the result PDF for your list (male/female, as applicable).
5. Use the PDF search (Ctrl+F) to find your roll number.
6. Read the result write-up and cut-off notice alongside the list — don’t skip it.
7. Download and save both PDFs. You’ll want them later.

A quick word of caution: check that the notice year and exam name match your recruitment before you trust any PDF. Fake result links do the rounds every cycle, and the only safe source is ssc.gov.in itself.

What PET and PST Actually Involve

The physical stage has two parts, and you need to clear both. The standards below are the ones prescribed in the recruitment notification — if anything in your result notice differs, the notice wins.

PET (Physical Efficiency Test): Male candidates run 5 km in 24 minutes. Female candidates run 1.6 km in 8 minutes 30 seconds. This is a qualifying race against the clock, not a competition — finish inside the time and you move on.

PST (Physical Standard Test): Officials measure height and chest. Male candidates need a minimum height of 170 cm and a chest of 80 cm unexpanded / 85 cm expanded. Female candidates need a minimum height of 157 cm. Relaxations apply for certain categories and regions as per the notification — check the rules that apply to you rather than assuming.

If you haven’t started running yet, start today. Seriously. Candidates lose this stage every year not because they’re unfit, but because they spent weeks celebrating the written result and left fitness for the last minute. Don’t be that candidate.

What to Keep Ready

• A printout of the result PDF with your roll number marked.
• Your SSC GD application and registration details.
• A valid photo ID.
• Class 10 certificate and marksheet — the qualification for this post is a Class 10 pass from a recognised board.
• Category, domicile or reservation certificates, if applicable.
• Any other documents the result notice lists for PET/PST.

SSC hasn’t announced the PET/PST dates yet. The schedule will come through an official notice, so keep checking ssc.gov.in rather than trusting forwarded messages with made-up dates. When the dates land, your reporting time and venue will be in the PET/PST admit card or notice — don’t travel on anyone else’s schedule.
