SSC MTS Cut Off 2026 Expected, Check Previous Year Category-Wise Cut Off

SSC MTS Cut Off 2026 status (as of October 2026): the latest final cut-off available is from the SSC MTS and Havaldar Examination 2025, released by the Staff Selection Commission on 3 August 2026 along with the CBE result. Havaldar candidates shortlisted from that result appeared for the PET/PST from 24 to 31 August 2026, and the final selection list is awaited. The SSC MTS 2026 notification has not been released yet, so the SSC MTS cut off 2026 for the next cycle will only be published after its computer-based examination. Until then, this page covers the latest official cut-off marks, previous year cut-offs, the minimum qualifying marks and an expected cut-off range.

SSC MTS Cut Off 2026

The SSC MTS cut off is the lowest normalised score a candidate needs in Session II of the computer-based examination (CBE) to be shortlisted in a particular category, state/region and age group. Session I (Numerical and Mathematical Ability, and Reasoning) is qualifying in nature, while the merit list is drawn up on the normalised marks of Session II (General Awareness and English), which carries 150 marks with a penalty of one mark per wrong answer. The table below summarises where things stand right now.

SSC MTS Expected Cut Off 2026

The SSC MTS expected cut off 2026 given below is an estimate prepared from the 2025-cycle final Havaldar cut-offs, which ranged from about 135 to 143 for UR and 120 to 136 for ST in the CCAs published so far, and from the 2023 state-wise trend. It is not an official figure. The actual cut-off will depend on the number of vacancies, paper difficulty and the number of candidates who appear in the 2026 cycle.

A safe target for most general-category aspirants is to score above 140 in Session II while clearing the Session I qualifying marks comfortably.

SSC MTS Category-Wise Cut Off 2026

The SSC MTS category wise cut off listed below is the latest final cut-off for Havaldar (CBIC and CBN), CGST posts, released on 3 August 2026 for the 2025 examination cycle. The marks are normalised Session II scores out of 150 for the Chief Controller of Accounts (CCA) regions whose figures are publicly available. Cut-offs for the remaining CCAs are in the official SSC PDF.

General (UR) Cut Off

The SSC MTS UR cut off was the highest of all categories, with Delhi CCA at 142.35543 and Ranchi CCA at 135.67147.

OBC Cut Off

The SSC MTS OBC cut off crossed the UR mark in Jaipur CCA (143.5277), while the other regions stayed between 134 and 139.

SC Cut Off

The SSC MTS SC cut off ranged from 127.97427 in Ranchi CCA to 134.63302 in Lucknow CCA.

ST Cut Off

The SSC MTS ST cut off showed the widest spread, from 120.06625 in Bhubaneswar CCA to 135.67147 in Jaipur CCA.

EWS Cut Off

The SSC MTS EWS cut off was highest in Delhi CCA (137.71603) and lowest in Ranchi CCA (130.17485).

SSC MTS State-Wise Cut Off 2026

For Havaldar posts, SSC releases the cut-off region-wise (CCA-wise) rather than state-wise. The first table brings all the main categories for each published CCA together, and the second lists the cut-offs for ex-servicemen and persons with benchmark disabilities.

Cut-off marks for ESM and PwBD candidates are much lower because these categories have fewer vacancies and fewer applicants.

A dash (–) means no cut-off was published for that category in that region, usually because there was no vacancy or no qualifying candidate.

SSC MTS Havaldar Cut Off 2026

The SSC MTS Havaldar cut off is separate from the MTS cut-off because the posts have different vacancies and Havaldar candidates must also qualify the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and Physical Standard Test (PST). In the 2025 cycle, SSC shortlisted 8,071 candidates for PET/PST at a ratio of roughly 1:7 against 1,153 Havaldar vacancies, based on the cut-offs above.

*The UR figure includes reserved-category candidates (EWS-300, SC-105, ST-25 and OBC-1,574) who qualified at the UR cut-off. Havaldar candidates who clear the PET/PST are placed in the final merit on their normalised Session II marks.

SSC MTS Minimum Qualifying Marks 2026

Before cut-off marks are applied, candidates must score the SSC MTS minimum qualifying marks in each session of the CBE. The percentages below are from the SSC MTS 2025 notification and are expected to stay the same in 2026.

Clearing the minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee selection. Candidates must also score at or above the final cut-off for their category, region and age group.

Factors Affecting SSC MTS Cut Off

The SSC MTS cut off marks change from year to year. The main factors are:

1. Number of vacancies: more posts in a state or category usually lower the cut-off.
2. Difficulty level: a tougher Session II paper brings normalised scores down.
3. Number of candidates: higher attendance increases competition.
4. Category and reservation: UR and OBC cut-offs are usually higher than SC, ST, ESM and PwBD cut-offs.
5. Normalisation: scores across multiple shifts are normalised, which shifts final marks.
6. Age group and post: separate cut-offs apply to the 18–25 and 18–27 age groups and to MTS and Havaldar posts.
