TELANGANA POLICE (Combined Recruitment) Cut Off Marks 2026

Cut-off marks are the threshold scores that candidates must reach to qualify for the next stage of the selection process. These marks are determined by factors like the total number of vacancies, the overall difficulty level of the test, and the number of candidates participating in the recruitment drive. Cut-offs vary significantly by category (OC, BC, SC, ST) and by the gender of the applicant, reflecting the specific competitive dynamics for each group.

For instance, historical data for Sub Inspector posts shows that cut-offs for male candidates in the Open Category (OC) reached around 197, while female candidates had a slightly lower threshold. Similarly, for the Police Constable post, OC male candidates have seen cut-offs in the range of 126–140, while SC/ST candidates fall within the 107–123 range. Candidates should monitor these trends to set realistic goals for their preparation. Understanding that these marks are subject to change annually allows aspirants to focus on maximizing their scores across all sections of the exam.
