We cannot line HSSC CET up against other exams yet
This does not mean HSSC CET shares nothing with the exams you are preparing for — only that we have not loaded a chapter-by-chapter syllabus we can compare against, so we will not guess. We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

How to applyPending verification
- 1Register on the designated Haryana One Time Registration portal, onetimeregn.haryana.gov.in, providing all particulars of identity and uploading the documents supporting every claim - reservation, educational qualifications and any other detail the Government or the Commission asks for.
- 2If you had registered for CET Advt. No. 1/2022 (held 05-06 November 2022) or CET Advt. No. 1/2025 (held 26-27 July 2025), you must use the same CET Registration Number. A new applicant is allotted a Registration Number that becomes the reference ID for all future purposes.
- 3Fill in the required particulars in the online application form before the closing date - the advertisement states no change of particulars will be entertained at any later stage.
- 4Pay the processing fee online (net banking, debit card, credit card etc.) as prescribed in Notification No. 42/119/2019-5HR-II dated 31 December 2024. An applicant who had already applied in CET Group C Advt. No. 1/2025 need not pay again; only applicants freshly applying for CET Group D pay.
- 5Upload the required documents - for most categories the scanned copy of the Matriculation certificate is required, plus category-specific certificates.
- 6Use the correction/edit window if you need to amend the form; after it closes the Commission states no further opportunity to fill or edit will be given.
- 7Download the admit card from the HSSC website when the Commission announces it; the advertisement says the admit card and examination dates will be communicated separately.
FAQsPending verification
Does clearing the Haryana CET get me a government job?
No. The CET is a common eligibility test. It qualifies you and places you on a CET merit list. For Group-D posts the Commission later advertises the actual posts and invites the electronic willingness of shortlisted candidates from that merit list; for Group-C posts you must still sit a post-specific skill and/or written examination, for which at most ten times the number of advertised posts are called. The CET score alone does not appoint you.
What are the qualifying marks?
50% for the general category and 40% for reserved categories (both vertical and horizontal), the reserved categories receiving a 10% concession. A candidate of any category who scores below the minimum must re-appear in a later CET.
How long is a CET score valid?
Three years from the date the CET result is declared. If you improve your marks in a later attempt, a fresh three-year validity runs from the result date of that attempt. There is no cap on the number of attempts.
What is the exam pattern for the Group-D CET?
100 multiple-choice questions for 100 marks in 1 hour 45 minutes, offline on an OMR sheet, bilingual in English and Hindi, at Matriculation level. There is no negative marking for a wrong answer, but you must fill the fifth 'not attempted' bubble for any question you skip - failing to do so costs one mark per question.
When is the CET Group-D 2026 examination?
Not announced. Advt. No. 05/2026 states that the admit card download and the date of examination 'will be communicated separately'. Registration ran from 19 June 2026 and, after an extension notified on 3 July 2026, closed on 5 July 2026, with fee payment to 8 July 2026 and the correction window from 9 to 11 July 2026. As at 3 August 2026 no examination date had been published.
Who can apply for the Group-D CET?
Candidates aged 18 to 42 as on the closing date of registration, holding Matriculation from a recognised Board with Hindi or Sanskrit up to Matriculation as one of the subjects. That is the rule for Group-D posts other than Sweeper, Chowkidar and Sweeper-cum-Chowkidar. Post-specific requirements are published in the separate post advertisement issued after the CET.
