The SSC CPO Paper II exam date 2026 is now in focus for the 10,676 candidates who cleared the physical tests, and the date to circle is 28-11-2026. The Staff Selection Commission has kept that date as the tentative schedule for Paper-II of the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces Examination, 2025, following the PET/PST result declared on 29-10-2026. One word of caution belongs right up front: the date is tentative, so admit cards and any confirmation notice from SSC should be watched closely as the day approaches.

Paper-II is a descriptive paper in English comprehension, and it is the last written hurdle before document verification and the medical examination. Candidates who qualified the physical tests should use the remaining weeks for descriptive writing practice rather than waiting for the admit card to begin preparation.
Paper-II is open only to candidates who cleared Paper-I and then qualified the PET/PST stage of the 2025 examination. The original eligibility for the recruitment — a bachelor's degree from a recognised university and the prescribed age limits — was fixed in the 2025 notification, and no fresh application is involved at this stage.
The age conditions for this examination were laid down in the 2025 notification, with relaxation for reserved categories as per government rules. Candidates appearing for Paper-II have already satisfied these conditions in the earlier stages.
No fee is payable for Paper-II. The application fee for this examination was collected with the original 2025 application, and appearing for Paper-II involves no fresh payment.
The Staff Selection Commission conducts the Sub-Inspector examination for Delhi Police, the Central Armed Police Forces and the CISF, filling one of the most sought-after uniformed officer cadres in the country.
