SSC JE PwD Cut Off 2025
The Commission also released separate cutoff marks for candidates with benchmark disabilities. Of the 1,731 final vacancies, 29 were reserved for PwBD candidates: 10 OH, 11 HH and 8 under other PwBD categories. The final PwD cutoff marks recorded post-wise are given below.
| Post/Organisation | OH | HH | Other PwBD |
|---|---|---|---|
| JE (Civil), CPWD | 336.56 | 267.17 | 250.69 |
| JE (Civil), CWC | 315.37 | 247.08 | – |

| JE (E&M), MES | 282.27 | 205.62 | 202.78 |
PwD cutoffs fluctuate sharply from post to post because the number of eligible candidates in each sub-category is small. A low cutoff in one post does not indicate that the category will remain equally easy in the next cycle.
