SSC CPO 2025 Notification Delayed: Latest Updates on Delhi Police SI Vacancy, Eligibility, and Height Requirements
The SSC CPO 2025 notification, eagerly awaited by aspirants for the Delhi Police Sub-Inspector (SI) and Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) posts, was scheduled for release on June 16, 2025. However, the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) has postponed the release due to administrative reasons, as announced in an official notice. This article provides the latest updates on the SSC CPO 2025 notification delay, expected vacancy details, eligibility criteria, height requirements, and preparation tips to help candidates stay ahead.
Why Was the SSC CPO 2025 Notification Delayed?
According to a recent notice from the SSC, the notification for the Sub-Inspector in Delhi Police and CAPF Examination 2025, originally set for June 16, 2025, has been deferred due to technical and administrative challenges. Posts on X and various sources indicate that the delay may stem from issues with the SSC website, particularly problems with photo uploads and OTP verification during the application process for other ongoing exams like SSC CGL, Stenographer, and Selection Post. Additionally, the delay could be attributed to pending finalization of vacancy details with the user department, such as the Delhi Police.
The SSC has advised candidates to keep a close watch on the official website, ssc.gov.in, for updates on the revised notification release date. Speculations suggest the notification may be released within a few days or by June 23, 2025, before the CHSL notification.
Expected SSC CPO 2025 Vacancy Details
While the official vacancy details for SSC CPO 2025 are yet to be announced, the 2024 recruitment cycle provides a reference point. In 2024, a total of 4,187 vacancies were announced, distributed as follows:
