Quick Summary
SSC declared the Delhi Police Head Constable AWO/TPO Result 2026 on 29 May 2026 vide notice HQ-C-3022/1/2026-C-3. A total of 6,543 candidates have been shortlisted across 5 category-wise lists for PE&MT, Document Verification, and Trade Test against 443 revised vacancies.
SSC Delhi Police Head Constable AWO/TPO Result 2026 – Overview
The Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has officially declared the result of the Computer Based Examination (CBE) for recruitment to the post of Head Constable — Assistant Wireless Operator (AWO) / Tele-Printer Operator (TPO) in Delhi Police, 2025, on 29 May 2026 vide official notice number HQ-C-3022/1/2026-C-3. The CBE was conducted across multiple shifts from 15 January 2026 to 22 January 2026 at examination centres nationwide, and raw marks were normalised using the formula SSC published on 2 June 2025 to ensure fairness across shifts. Against a revised total of 443 vacancies (reduced from the originally notified 552), SSC has released five separate category-wise shortlists — covering Female Open, Male Open, Male Ex-Servicemen (ESM), Female Departmental, and Male Departmental candidates — with a combined total of 6,543 candidates shortlisted for the next stage: Physical Endurance & Measurement Test (PE&MT), Document Verification (DV), and Trade Test.
The vacancy count for this cycle was revised downward twice in the run-up to the result — from 552 to 443 — a reduction of nearly 20%, even as the number of shortlisted candidates (6,543) remained large enough to allow healthy competition at the PE&MT stage. This vacancy-to-shortlist ratio (roughly 1 seat per 14.8 shortlisted candidates) is markedly tighter than typical SSC technical recruitment cycles, reflecting the high level of competition this year.

SSC Delhi Police HC AWO/TPO Result 2026 – How to Download Merit List
The SSC Delhi Police HC AWO/TPO Result 2026 has been released as five separate category-wise PDF lists rather than a single combined merit list. Candidates must identify and open the PDF matching their gender and category, then search for their roll number using the Ctrl+F (Find) function — there is no roll-number login portal for this result.
- Visit the official SSC website: Go to ssc.gov.in and click on the "Results" tab on the homepage.
- Locate the Delhi Police HC AWO/TPO result link: Under the "Results" section, find the entry titled "Head Constable {Assistant Wireless Operator (AWO)/Tele-Printer Operator (TPO)} in Delhi Police Examination, 2025." Five separate PDF links are provided — Female Open (List I), Male Open (List II), Male ESM (List III), Female Departmental (List IV), and Male Departmental (List V).
- Open the PDF matching your category: Click the PDF link corresponding to your gender and category. Each PDF lists roll numbers of shortlisted candidates, organised by category (UR, EWS, SC, ST, OBC) within that list.
- Search your roll number using Ctrl+F: Open the downloaded PDF and press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac). Type your full roll number and press Enter to check whether it appears in the shortlist. If your roll number does not appear in your applicable list, you have not been shortlisted for the next stage in this CBE.
- Check the qualifying cut-off for your category: The result notice also specifies the normalised cut-off marks for each category within each list. Cross-check your category's cut-off against the figures published in the official notice to understand the relative competitiveness of your shortlisting.
- Download and save the PDF: Save a copy of the relevant result PDF and the official result notice (HQ-C-3022/1/2026-C-3) for your records — these documents may be needed for future reference during the PE&MT and Document Verification stages.

SSC Delhi Police HC AWO/TPO 2026 – Category-wise Cut Off & Shortlisted Candidates
SSC has released normalised cut-off marks separately for each of the five result lists. Marks shown below are normalised scores, not raw marks — since the CBE was conducted across multiple shifts with varying difficulty, SSC applies a normalisation formula (published 2 June 2025) to ensure fairness across all shifts and dates.
Minimum Qualifying Marks (Standard Cut-off, excluding NCC bonus)
| Category | Standard Qualifying Marks | Revised Cut-off (where applicable) |
|---|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) | 40% | — |
| EWS | 40% | 30% (for EWS Departmental vacancies) |
| SC / ST / OBC | 35% | 20% (for ESM & Departmental categories) |
| Ex-Servicemen (ESM) | 30% | 20% |
As per Para 17.2 of the Examination Notice. SSC invoked its provision to lower qualifying marks for ESM and Departmental vacancy categories because the requisite number of candidates had not cleared the standard threshold in those categories.

SSC Delhi Police HC AWO/TPO 2026 – What Happens After the Result
Clearing the CBE is only the first hurdle. Shortlisted candidates must now go through the Physical Endurance & Measurement Test (PE&MT), Document Verification (DV), and Trade Test — all three of which are conducted by Delhi Police, not SSC. SSC's role in this recruitment ends at the CBE result stage.
| Next Step | What To Do |
|---|---|
| Step 1 — Monitor Delhi Police for PE&MT Schedule | The PE&MT, DV, and Trade Test schedule will be announced by Delhi Police, not SSC. Bookmark delhipolice.gov.in and check it regularly — as of 29 May 2026, no PE&MT date has been announced. |
| Step 2 — Arrange Documents for Document Verification | Begin gathering original certificates and attested copies: age proof, category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), educational qualification certificates, ESM discharge certificate (if applicable), NCC certificate (if applicable), and RRU Degree/Diploma (if applicable). |
| Step 3 — Begin Physical Preparation for PE&MT | The PE&MT involves specific height, chest, and physical fitness standards. Candidates should begin physical preparation now rather than waiting for the admit card, since fitness tests typically allow little turnaround time once the schedule is announced. |
| Step 4 — Carry Bonus Mark Certificates | NCC certificate and RRU Degree/Diploma bonus marks are not included in this CBE result — they will be credited only in the final result, and only if the original supporting documents are produced at the PE&MT stage. Candidates eligible for these bonus marks must not forget to carry them. |
| Step 5 — Prepare for Trade Test | As AWO/TPO is a technical post, candidates should revise wireless operation and tele-printer/typing fundamentals relevant to the Trade Test component of the selection process. |
SSC Delhi Police HC AWO/TPO 2026 – What Shortlisted Candidates Should Know
The Head Constable (AWO/TPO) post in Delhi Police is placed at Pay Level 4 of the 7th Central Pay Commission, with a basic pay band of ₹25,500 to ₹81,100. Including Dearness Allowance, House Rent Allowance, and Delhi-specific allowances applicable to Delhi Police personnel, the starting in-hand monthly salary for a freshly appointed Head Constable (AWO/TPO) typically falls in the range of approximately ₹34,000 to ₹38,000, before increments. This places the AWO/TPO post a notch above the standard Delhi Police Constable post (Pay Level 3, ₹21,700 – ₹69,100) due to its semi-technical nature involving wireless communication and tele-printer operations.
Because this result follows a multi-shift CBE, all marks shown in the official lists are normalised scores, not raw marks out of 100. Candidates who appeared in a comparatively harder shift will generally see their normalised score adjusted upward relative to their raw score, and vice versa for easier shifts. This is why two candidates with identical raw scores from different shifts may show different normalised marks in the result — this is expected and is not an error.
Candidates should also note that being shortlisted in this CBE result does not guarantee final selection. The PE&MT carries fixed physical standards that candidates must independently meet — past Delhi Police cycles have seen meaningful attrition between the CBE-shortlist stage and the final selected list due to PE&MT and Document Verification outcomes. Candidates should treat this result as conditional progress, not confirmed selection, and prepare accordingly for the physical and verification stages ahead.
