SSC CPO 2026: where the official notification will appear
The Staff Selection Commission releases the CPO Sub-Inspector notification only on ssc.gov.in. Here is exactly where to watch so you do not miss the application window or PET/PST schedule.
The SSC CPO (Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPFs) recruitment cycle begins with an official notification published on the Staff Selection Commission website. No coaching site, no third-party portal gets it first — the PDF, the apply link, and the subsequent Paper 1 / PET / PST / Paper 2 schedules all go live on ssc.gov.in under the 'Latest News' and 'Notice Board' sections.
When the notification drops it carries the vacancy split across Delhi Police, BSF, CISF, CRPF, ITBP and SSB, eligibility (age 20-25 with relaxations, Bachelor's degree, physical standards by gender + category), exam dates for Paper 1 and Paper 2, and the application window — typically open for about 3 weeks.
What makes CPO different from CGL is the physical stage between Paper 1 and Paper 2. You have to clear Paper 1 first, then PET (running, jumps, shot put for males) and PST (height, chest, weight), then attempt Paper 2 (English only). Final merit combines Paper 1 + Paper 2 marks; PET/PST and Medical are qualifying.
Start Paper 1 practice early — 200 questions across 4 sections in 2 hours with sectional timing of 30 minutes per section. Free SSC CPO mock below.
Always confirm dates and eligibility on the official site before you act.
Don't just read the news — get ready for the exam.
