How to download the Final Answer Key + Calculate Your Marks
- Open ssc.gov.in on your browser.
- Click "Login" at the top-right and enter your Registration Number + Password (same credentials as during application).
- On the candidate dashboard, find the link "Delhi Police HC (AWO/TPO) - Final Answer Key".
- Download the final answer key PDF (separated by paper set / shift code) and your individual response sheet PDF (showing the option you marked for each question).
- Match question-by-question against the final answer key. Apply the marking scheme: +1 for correct, -0.50 for wrong, 0 for unattempted.
- Compute total:
(Correct × 1) - (Wrong × 0.50) = Final CBT Score. Maximum 100 marks across 100 questions. - Cross-check your estimated score against the cut-off bands published below. SSC normalises marks across shifts using the percentile method — your raw score may differ from the published cut-off by 2-5 marks.
Expected CBT Cut-off (HC AWO/TPO 2026)
SSC's official cut-off PDF is released with the Result. Based on the previous HC AWO/TPO 2022 and 2023 cycles, the qualifying cut-off (for PE&MT shortlist) typically falls in this band:
- UR / General: 70 - 78 normalised marks.
- OBC-NCL: 65 - 73 normalised marks.
- EWS: 62 - 70 normalised marks.
- SC: 58 - 65 normalised marks.
- ST: 55 - 62 normalised marks.
- Ex-Servicemen: 50 - 58 normalised marks.
The cut-off is set such that the shortlist is 8-12 times the vacancy count (so for 443 vacancies, around 4,000-5,000 candidates will be called for PE&MT). The PE&MT itself is qualifying only (no marks weight), so the Final Merit ranks candidates purely on the CBT normalised score among those who clear PE&MT + Medical + Trade Test.
Physical Endurance Test + Measurement Test (PE&MT) — what to prepare
The PE&MT is held at the Delhi Police Recruitment Training Centre and is qualifying in nature (pass/fail only). Standards as per the 2025 notification:
For Male Candidates
- Height: 170 cm (160 cm for Garhwalis/Kumaonis/Dogras/Marathas/Sikkimese/categorised hill tribes, +2 cm for ST).
- Chest: 81 cm unexpanded, minimum 4 cm expansion (relaxation for hill/ST categories).
- Race: 1600 metres in 7 minutes 30 seconds.
- Long jump: 14 feet in 3 chances.
- High jump: 3 feet 9 inches in 3 chances.
For Female Candidates
- Height: 157 cm (150 cm for hill/ST categories).
- Race: 800 metres in 5 minutes.
- Long jump: 10 feet in 3 chances.
- High jump: 3 feet in 3 chances.
Failing any single event = disqualification from the entire recruitment cycle. Start training at least 8-10 weeks before the PE&MT call letter arrives; the 1600m run is the most common failure point for desk-prepared candidates.
Trade Test — what makes AWO/TPO different from regular HC
Unlike regular Delhi Police HC posts, the AWO/TPO requires a Trade Test specific to the technical role. The Trade Test is conducted by Delhi Police technical staff at the Delhi Police Communication wing and evaluates:
- For AWO (Wireless Operator) candidates: Operation of VHF/UHF wireless base sets, channel switching, basic radio call protocols (Q-codes), antenna patch-up, dry-cell management, battery backup.
- For TPO (Tele-Printer Operator) candidates: Typing speed (35 wpm English minimum), data-terminal operation, message logging, log-book maintenance.
- Practical electronics basics: Series/parallel circuits, resistor colour code, multimeter usage, soldering.
The Trade Test is qualifying (pass/fail). Candidates failing the Trade Test cannot be selected for the AWO/TPO post even if they cleared the CBT + PE&MT + Medical.
Medical Examination — what disqualifies
The Medical is conducted at the Delhi Police hospital or empanelled CGHS facility. Common rejection causes:
- Vision: Distant 6/12 corrected to 6/9 with glasses (relaxation if uncorrected vision is also at the spec). Near vision N5/N9. Colour vision mandatory pass for AWO/TPO (Ishihara test) — colour-blind candidates are disqualified.
- Hearing: Audiometric test, no significant high-frequency hearing loss. AWO/TPO has stricter audiometric standards than regular HC.
- Dental: 14 sound teeth + 8 occluding pairs minimum.
- Knock-knee, flat foot, varicose veins: Standard disqualifiers per Delhi Police medical norms.
- Tattoos: Permitted only on the inner side of forearm and not visible above sleeve / collar. Religious symbols on chest/arm typically permitted.

AWO aur TPO mein kya antar hai?
AWO (Assistant Wireless Operator) पुलिस के wireless base / mobile sets operate करता है — channel switching, Q-code communication, antenna patch-up। TPO (Tele-Printer Operator) tele-printer / data terminal operate करता है — message logging, district-to-district communication। दोनों posts एक ही recruitment में हैं और 443 vacancies दोनों मिलाकर हैं।
CBT cut-off marks kitne ja sakte hain?
Historical pattern (HC AWO/TPO 2022 + 2023 cycles): UR/General 70-78 normalised marks, OBC-NCL 65-73, EWS 62-70, SC 58-65, ST 55-62, Ex-Servicemen 50-58. PE&MT shortlist is typically 8-12× the vacancy count, so ~4,000-5,000 candidates for 443 posts. Official cut-off is released with the Result.
PE&MT physical standards kya hain?
Male: Height 170 cm (160 cm hill/ST), Chest 81 cm + 4 cm expansion, 1600m race in 7 min 30 sec, Long jump 14 ft, High jump 3 ft 9 inch. Female: Height 157 cm (150 cm hill/ST), 800m race in 5 min, Long jump 10 ft, High jump 3 ft. Failing any single event = disqualification.
Trade Test mein kya hota hai?
Trade Test is unique to AWO/TPO posts. AWO candidates: operate VHF/UHF wireless base sets, channel switching, Q-code radio protocols. TPO candidates: typing speed (35 wpm minimum), tele-printer operation, message logging. Plus basic electronics: series/parallel circuits, resistor colour code, multimeter usage. Qualifying only (pass/fail). Failing the Trade Test = disqualification from AWO/TPO selection.
Can colour-blind candidates apply for AWO/TPO?
No. The AWO/TPO Medical Examination includes a mandatory Ishihara colour-vision test — colour-blind candidates are disqualified at the Medical stage even if they cleared CBT + PE&MT + Trade Test. The reason: wireless equipment indicator LEDs + tele-printer status codes are colour-coded, and a colour-vision deficiency would impair operational safety. Apply for a non-technical Delhi Police HC post instead if colour vision is a concern.
When can selected candidates expect appointment?
After Final Result + PE&MT + Trade Test + DV + Medical, the appointment letter is issued by Delhi Police Recruitment Cell. Typical timeline: 8-10 weeks after Medical clearance. Training at Delhi Police Training School lasts 9 months, after which the appointee is posted to a Communication wing or Control Room at a district HQ. Starting pay: Pay Level 4 of 7th CPC (₹25,500 base + DA + HRA), net in-hand ₹37,000-42,000/month in Delhi.
SSC Delhi Police HC (AWO/TPO) 2026 — Final Answer Key OUT, Result Awaited — Analysis & Trends
Why AWO/TPO is different from regular Delhi Police HC
Most Delhi Police Head Constable recruitments cover general policing duties (patrol, investigation, security). The AWO/TPO post sits inside the Police Communication / Tele-Printer Operator wing — responsible for 24x7 radio-room operation at police stations, Control Room dispatching, and Tele-Printer Network communication between districts. The 443 posts here are technical, not general policing; the eligibility specifically requires 10+2 with Science + Mathematics for that reason. The Trade Test is unique to this recruitment.
How long should the result actually take?
SSC's pattern in recent HC AWO/TPO cycles (2022 → result 38 days after Final AK; 2023 → result 32 days after Final AK) suggests a late-May to mid-June 2026 release for this 2025 cycle.
