Haryana HSSC CET Group D Recruitment 2026 Notification: The Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) is soon going to release the Notification for the Common Eligibility Test (CET) Group D. The HSSC Group D Notification 2026 will be released soon on the website hssc.gov.in, and the online applications (one-time registrations) will be accepted from the HSSC OTR portal onetimeregn.haryana.gov.in. The HSSC CET Group D exam is conducted as an eligibility Test for the various Group D posts in the Government of Haryana.
The Haryana government has introduced a major change in HSSC CET Group D recruitment, making the selection process completely based on CET marks. The earlier provision of 5 additional marks given on social and economic grounds has been abolished, and CET will now have 100% weightage in Group D selection. Candidates will be selected purely on the basis of Class 10 qualification and CET merit, without any extra weightage for socio-economic criteria or experience. According to the government, this change has been made in line with court orders and is aimed at ensuring a transparent, fair, and merit-based recruitment process for HSSC Group D posts.
