The Delhi Police Driver Cut Off is the minimum score a candidate must secure in the Computer-Based Examination (CBT) for the post of Constable (Driver-Male) in Delhi Police to move ahead to the Physical Efficiency Test (PET), Physical Standard Test (PST), Driving Test, and Document Verification stages.
The Delhi Police Driver Recruitment is conducted by the Staff Selection Commission (SSC), and the Delhi Police Driver Cut Off marks decide which candidates advance in the selection process. Since the exam draws applications from a large number of aspirants across categories, the Delhi Police Driver qualifying marks and expected cut off are closely tracked by candidates every recruitment cycle.
As of now, the Delhi Police Driver Recruitment 2026 notification has not been released. This page will be updated with the official Delhi Police Driver Cut Off 2026 as soon as SSC announces the notification, exam dates, and result.
The Delhi Police Driver Recruitment 2026 notification is yet to be released by SSC. Candidates can refer to the previous cycle for preparation, while the 2026 vacancies, dates, and eligibility will be updated after the official notification.
The Delhi Police Driver Cut Off is not a fixed number; it changes with every recruitment cycle depending on:
Difficulty level of the CBT in that particular shift/session
Total number of candidates who appear for the exam
Number of vacancies notified for the Constable (Driver-Male) post
Category-wise reservation (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, ESM)
Normalization of marks across multiple exam shifts
Overall performance trend of candidates in that cycle
Understanding these factors is important before comparing the Delhi Police Driver previous year cut-off with what to expect in an upcoming cycle, since marks are rarely comparable year-to-year without accounting for these variables.
Delhi Police recruitment exams, including the Constable (Driver-Male) CBT, apply a minimum qualifying percentage before normalized marks and category-wise cut offs are worked out. Based on the criteria used in recent Delhi Police CBT cycles, the minimum qualifying marks (before any NCC bonus marks) are generally fixed as:
|
Category |
Minimum Qualifying Marks |
|
UR (Unreserved) |
35% |
|
SC / ST / OBC / EWS |
30% |
|
Ex-Servicemen (ESM) |
25% |
Only candidates who clear these minimum qualifying marks are considered for further normalization and shortlisting based on the Delhi Police Driver category-wise cut-off for the number of notified vacancies.
The complete selection process for Constable (Driver-Male) in Delhi Police includes the following stages, and the Delhi Police Driver cut off is primarily applied at the CBT stage:
Computer-Based Examination (CBT): The main screening stage. The Delhi Police Driver cutoff marks announced here decide who moves to the next stage.
Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST): Qualifying in nature; candidates must meet height, chest, and running/timing standards.
Driving Test: Specific to the Driver post — candidates are tested on driving skills for light and heavy vehicles as applicable.
Document Verification: Verification of educational, category, and other certificates.
Medical Examination: Final stage before appointment.
The final cut off is released along with the final result after all these stages are completed and usually differs slightly from the CBT cut off, since some candidates are found ineligible or do not clear the PET/PST or Driving Test.
The Delhi Police Driver Cut Off 2025–26 has been officially released by SSC based on normalized scores in the Computer-Based Examination (CBE). Candidates scoring equal to or above the cut-off marks have been shortlisted for the next stage.

Since the notification for 2026 is awaited, here are a few points to keep in mind while estimating the Delhi Police Driver expected cut off once the exam is conducted:
A lower number of vacancies compared to the general Constable (Executive) post typically means the Driver post cut off can be relatively higher or more competitive in percentage terms.
The presence of the Driving Test as an additional qualifying stage does not usually lower the CBT cut off, since it is a separate qualifying hurdle rather than a scoring stage.
Candidates should track the official notification for the exact minimum qualifying marks, as SSC can revise the percentage criteria between cycles.
Follow these steps once SSC releases the Delhi Police Driver cut off:
Visit the official SSC website at ssc.gov.in.
Go to the "Results" or "Latest News" section.
Look for the notice titled "Constable (Driver-Male) in Delhi Police Examination: Declaration of Result."
Open the Result PDF for the relevant cycle.
Locate the category-wise cut off table.
Note the qualifying marks for your category and download the PDF for future reference.
Study the complete CBT syllabus early — General Awareness, General Intelligence, Numerical Ability, and Road Sense & Vehicle Maintenance.
Practise previous year question papers to understand the difficulty level and question pattern.
Take regular mock tests to track speed, accuracy, and section-wise strengths.
Focus on Road Sense and Vehicle Maintenance, since this section is specific to the Driver post and can be a differentiator near the cut off.
Prepare early for the Driving Test and PET/PST alongside the written exam, since both are equally important qualifying stages.
