Haryana Staff Selection Commission

What Haryana Staff Selection Commission does

Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) is a statutory body constituted by the Government of Haryana in 1970 to recruit Group C and D personnel for Haryana state government departments, local bodies, and cooperative institutions. The commission is led by a Chairman and five Members appointed by the state government, supported by a Secretary and Controller of Examinations. Its core product portfolio centers on the Common Eligibility Test (CET) — a mandatory screening examination candidates must clear before progressing to specialized recruitments — supplemented by dedicated advertisements covering Police Constable (5,500 posts under Advt 01/2026), Forest Guard (779 posts under Advt 04/2026), TGT Teachers, Group C departmental posts, and Group D posts. The recruitment pipeline combines written examinations, Physical Measurement Tests (PMT), Physical Screening Tests (PST), document verification, and medical examination across 63 syllabus groups spanning technical, administrative, healthcare, and specialized roles. Technology operations run on the official website (hssc.gov.in), a One Time Registration portal, and dedicated advertisement portals maintained in partnership with Haryana Knowledge Corporation Limited (HKCL); Aadhaar-based biometric verification for PMTs was introduced from April 2026. Revenue is generated through non-refundable application fees (Rs. 25-100 per candidate by category and group), while broader operating costs are funded by the state government as the parent entity. The commission is currently processing six concurrent 2026 advertisements with roughly 31 lakh candidates expected for CET 2025, and faces an active litigation backlog of 2,700+ cases alongside multiple Punjab and Haryana High Court rulings on opaque processes, bonus-marks policy, and reserved-category treatment.
