HSSC CET Group D 2026 - Overview
- Notably, the actual post-wise vacancy breakup is not part of this notification - the Commission has stated that the detail of Group-D posts will be published separately, so candidates should keep checking the official website for the post-wise advertisement once CET registration closes.
Important Dates for HSSC CET Group D 2026
- The registration and fee-related timelines are the most time-sensitive part of this notification, since HSSC has built in separate cut-offs for different reserved categories as well.
- Candidates should pay close attention to the certificate-dating rules above - a BCA, BCB, or EWS certificate dated before 1 April 2026, for instance, will not be accepted even if the candidate is otherwise eligible.

Eligibility Criteria for HSSC CET Group D 2026
- Eligibility for this CET cycle is built around two simple pillars - educational qualification and age - but each carries specific conditions that can disqualify an otherwise eligible candidate if overlooked.
Educational Qualification
- For all Group-D posts except Sweeper, Chowkidar, and Sweeper-cum-Chowkidar, a candidate must hold:
- Matriculation from a recognized Board, and
- Hindi or Sanskrit up to Matriculation as one of the subjects studied.
- The notification clarifies that the detailed, post-wise educational qualification (for the specific Group-D posts) will be published separately along with the vacancy details.
Age Limit and Relaxation
- A candidate must be not less than 18 years and not more than 42 years of age as on the closing date of registration (3 July 2026). Age relaxation is governed by Haryana Government instructions dated 25 March 2022, and the upper age limit can extend up to 52 years for candidates entitled to combined relaxation benefits.
- A repeated candidate note worth flagging: anyone who already registered for CET Advt. No. 1/2022 (held on 5–6 November 2022) or CET Advt. No. 1/2025 (held on 26–27 July 2025) must use that same CET Registration Number rather than creating a fresh one.
How to Apply Online for HSSC CET Group D 2026
- Applications are not submitted on a separate HSSC form - everything runs through Haryana's One Time Registration (OTR) system, which is also used for other state recruitment exams.
- Visit the official registration portal at onetimeregn.haryana.gov.in.
- New applicants register and receive a Registration Number; returning CET 2022/2025 candidates log in with their existing number.
- Fill in personal, educational, and category details accurately, since no corrections are allowed after final submission except during the 7–9 July 2026 edit window.
- Upload all category-specific scanned documents (see the documents section below).
- Pay the applicable fee online through net banking, debit card, or credit card.
- Submit the form, then download and retain a printed copy along with the uploaded documents for future reference.
- Apply Online - once live on 19 June 2026, the link will be available through onetimeregn.haryana.gov.in.
Application Fee for HSSC CET Group D 2026
- Fee payment follows the category-wise structure set under the CET Policy notified on 31 December 2024, with separate concessions based on residency proof and gender.
- Candidates who had already applied and paid fee for CET Group C Advt. No. 1/2025 need not pay the fee again for this Group D cycle. Only candidates applying fresh are required to pay, based on the Standard Rate of Rs. 1,000 (or as revised by the Government).
- Two points worth remembering: the fee, once paid, is non-refundable under any circumstances, and a single fee payment covers one CET attempt valid for both Group C and Group D - improving your score in a later attempt requires paying again.

Documents Required for HSSC CET Group D 2026 Application
- Every applicant, regardless of category, must upload a common base set of documents, with additional category-specific papers layered on top.
- Common documents (all categories):
- Scanned copy of the Matriculation certificate
- Latest colour photograph with white background, clearly showing the candidate's name and the date it was taken
- Scanned signature
- A signed undertaking as per Annexure VIII of the notification
- Category-specific additions:
- Only documents uploaded at the time of filling the form are considered for scrutiny - anything submitted later, in any form, will not be entertained.
HSSC CET Group D 2026 Exam Pattern
- The CET for Group D is designed as a single-stage, OMR-based screening test rather than a multi-stage exam, making the marking scheme one of the most important things to understand before attempting it.
- This last rule is unusual and trips up many candidates: marking a wrong answer carries no penalty at all, but leaving a question blank without filling in the designated fifth circle results in a one-mark deduction. The exam centre, once allotted on the admit card, will not ordinarily be changed.

HSSC CET Group D 2026 Syllabus
- The CET syllabus is split into two weighted parts - a larger general-skills component and a smaller Haryana-specific component - and the question paper stays at Matriculation difficulty throughout.
Selection Process for HSSC CET Group D 2026
- Since Group-D recruitment has no separate written exam beyond the CET, the process works differently from Group-C recruitment. The Commission shortlists candidates purely on CET marks, then publishes a category-wise merit and waiting list. When actual posts are advertised later, eligible candidates apply electronically to express willingness for that specific post using their existing Registration Number - only the candidate's consent is sought before the Commission recommends names to the appointing department; there is no fresh written test at this stage.
- In case of a tie in CET marks, the older candidate gets precedence; if birth dates also match, the candidate whose first name comes earlier alphabetically (in English) ranks higher.
