Factors That Decided the SSC GD Cut Off 2026

Four things drove this year's figures:

• Vacancies per state: UP, Bihar and Rajasthan have many applicants for their posts, so their cut offs are the highest; North-East states and small UTs have far fewer applicants and cut offs near the qualifying floor.
• Gender: female posts are fewer, so female cut offs match or exceed male cut offs in most large states.
• Area: border and Naxal-affected area vacancies are filled separately with lower cut offs.
• Normalisation: scores from different shifts were normalised, so cut offs are in decimals.
