SSC CPO SI 2025 Paper I Marks, Final Answer Key

SSC CPO SI 2025 Paper I Marks, Final Answer Key — a result announcement — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 16 October 2025 and a fee of ₹500 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) recruits for Group B and Group C posts across central government departments. SSC selections are computer-based, normally multi-tier, and use normalised scores across shifts — the raw mark you calculate from the answer key is not the mark used for the cut-off.

Applications open on 26 September 2025 and close on 16 October 2025, giving candidates 21 days to complete the process. At 21 days this is a normal-length window, but the fee and upload steps are the ones that fail late, so leave a few days of margin. Fee payment closes on  17/10/2025 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. A correction window is listed ( 24-26 October 2025), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for  09 to 12 December 2025; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

The age limit runs from 20 to 25 years for unreserved candidates. That is a 5-year band, so candidates near either edge should confirm the exact cut-off date the notification measures age against — it is usually a fixed reference date, not the date you apply. On qualifications, the notification states: Delhi SI : Bachelor Degree in Any Stream with Driving License Other Post : Bachelor Degree in Any Stream in Any Recognized University in India.  . If your degree is an equivalent under a different name, look for the equivalence clause in the official PDF before paying the fee — a form rejected for a qualification mismatch is not usually refundable.

SC / ST / EXs and All Category Female are exempt from the application fee under this notification. Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹100 and ₹500, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, and net banking. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Once you have your result, download and save the scorecard immediately — result portals for large recruitments are frequently taken offline weeks after publication, and the scorecard is required at document verification. Watch the same recruiting body for the next stage notice, which is usually published separately rather than as an update to the result page.
