Delhi Police Driver Cut Off 2025 Exam

Source: SSC result notice dated 29 April 2026. Marks are normalised. Many reserved-category candidates also scored above the UR cut-off and were counted in their own categories, which is one reason the EWS and OBC figures sit so close to UR. The vacancy count used for this cycle was revised to 660 (584 open and 76 ESM) on 25 February 2026.

Minimum Qualifying Marks

The minimum only makes you eligible for shortlisting. In practice, the category cut-off has been far higher for open-list candidates. The ESM cut-off in the 2025 exam stayed at the minimum of 30 because fewer ESM candidates competed for their reserved posts.

What Affects the Cut-Off

• Vacancies: Fewer posts mean a smaller shortlist and a higher cut-off. The 2025 cycle had 660 posts after revision, against 1,411 posts in the 2022 cycle.

• Paper difficulty: An easier Part D pushes scores up across the board.

• Number of applicants: Only HMV licence holders can apply, so the pool is smaller than general constable exams, but it is also more prepared in road sense.

• Normalisation: Scores from different shifts are adjusted, so the final figure may not match your raw score.

• Bonus marks: NCC and Rashtriya Raksha University bonus marks can lift some candidates above the line.

Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants. Treat last year's figures as a benchmark only, and aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass.

How to Set Your Target Score

1. Aim for 85 to 88 in the open list: This is an indicative target, not an official figure, set a few marks above the 2025 UR cut-off to allow for a tougher year.

2. Plan for 45 or more in Part D: With 50 marks at stake, road sense and vehicle maintenance should carry most of your score.

3. Keep wrong answers under five: At 0.25 marks each, careless guesses can cost more than one full question.

4. Track it in mocks: Note your score, accuracy and Part D marks after every full-length test, and check that the trend clears your target consistently.

For timed practice against these benchmarks, you can attempt Delhi Police Driver mock tests on Testkart and use the section-wise analysis to see where marks are slipping. The Delhi Police Driver exam pattern page explains how bonus marks and normalisation work.
