Worth preparing alongside

We cannot line HPPSC up against other exams yet

We compare 0 exams whose official syllabus we have traced to the conducting body, and this one is not among them yet.

FAQs
Who conducts the HP Administrative Service examination?

The Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission, Nigam Vihar, Shimla. The 2025 cycle was advertised as Advertisement Number 34/4-2025 on 13-04-2025.

Which posts does this examination fill?

In the 2025 cycle the advertisement covered H.P. Administrative Services, Block Development Officer, Tehsildar and Assistant Commissioner State Taxes & Excise. Addendum-I of 29 April 2025 added 2 posts of H.P. Police Service, and the final result press note of 30 December 2025 records 35 posts in total, including 3 District Controller posts in the Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs department.

What qualification do I need?

A Bachelor's Degree or its equivalent of a recognized University. A candidate awaiting the result of the qualifying examination may apply, and one who intends to appear at it may apply provided it is completed before the examination commences; such admission is provisional.

Is there negative marking in the Preliminary Examination?

Yes. Every question has four alternatives, and one third of the marks assigned to a question is deducted for a wrong answer. More than one answer counts as wrong with the same penalty. A blank question carries no penalty. A candidate who scores zero or negative marks in General Studies (Paper-I) is not considered to have qualified.

Does the Aptitude Test paper count towards merit?

No. Paper-II (Aptitude Test) is qualifying with a minimum of 33%; merit for admission to the Main Examination is drawn exclusively on the marks of General Studies (Paper-I). But it is mandatory to appear in both papers - a candidate who does not appear in both is disqualified.

Do the compulsory English and Hindi papers of the Main Examination count for ranking?

No. Their marks are excluded from overall ranking, but 40% in each is necessary to qualify, along with 45% in the aggregate of the other papers.

How many optional subjects are there and can I change mine?

There are 31 optional subjects listed in the scheme, from Indian History to Medical Sciences. One optional subject is chosen at the time of applying, and the advertisement states that no change in the optional subject is allowed after the Online Recruitment Application is submitted.

When is the next cycle?

As of 03 August 2026 no advertisement or press note for a 2026 cycle had been published. The 2025 cycle finished with a final result on 30 December 2025 - Preliminary on 29-06-2025, Main Examination from 25-09-2025 to 01-10-2025, and Personality Tests from 22-12-2025 to 30-12-2025 except 25-12-2025.
