SSC on 23 October 2026 re-uploaded the detailed lists of candidates provisionally shortlisted for PET/PST in the Constable (GD) 2026 exam. The lists now show both the category a candidate applied under and the category against which they were considered.

## What this means for you

This matters only to candidates shortlisted for PET/PST in Constable (GD) 2026 who were confused about their category. If you applied under SC/ST/OBC/EWS/ESM but your category showed as UR in the earlier list, the new list on the SSC website shows both categories. Ordinary people are not directly affected.

## Key facts

- SSC declared the Constable (GD) 2026 result on 12.10.2026.
- The detailed lists were uploaded on the website on 23.10.2026.
- List-I has female candidates provisionally shortlisted for PET/PST.
- List-II has male candidates provisionally shortlisted for PET/PST, other than SSF.
- Some candidates who applied under SC/ST/OBC/EWS/ESM qualified the CBE on UR standards.
- All other terms and conditions of the CBE result remain unchanged.

## What happened

SSC declared the result of the Constable (GD) in Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and SSF, and Rifleman (GD) in Assam Rifles Examination, 2026 on 12.10.2026. After that, some candidates asked the Commission to clarify the categories shown in the lists of candidates provisionally shortlisted for the next stage.

In response, SSC issued a clarification on 23.10.2026 and re-uploaded detailed lists on its website.

## Why the category confusion arose

According to SSC, certain candidates had applied under the SC/ST/OBC/EWS/ESM categories when they filled their Online Application Form. But they qualified the Computer Based Examination (CBE) on the standards prescribed for Unreserved (UR) candidates, as per the provisions of the Examination Notice. For this reason, their category was shown as UR in the lists published earlier on the Commission's website.

This led some candidates to seek clarification about the categories reflected in the lists.

## What has changed now

SSC has now uploaded detailed lists that include both categories: the actual category under which the candidate applied and the category against which they have been considered.

List-I contains female candidates provisionally shortlisted for appearing in PET/PST. List-II contains male candidates provisionally shortlisted for PET/PST other than SSF.

## What candidates should do

Candidates who were shortlisted for PET/PST and had doubts about their category can check the new detailed lists on the SSC website.

SSC has made clear that all other terms and conditions of the CBE result remain unchanged. The clarification does not change the result or the rules for the next stage.

## Who is affected

This information concerns only candidates of this examination. Ordinary people are not directly affected.
