About this notification
The Haryana Staff Selection Commission published Advertisement No. 05/2026 on 18 June 2026 for the Common Eligibility Test (CET) for Group D posts. Applications were made on the One Time Registration portal, onetimeregn.haryana.gov.in. A public notice of 3 July extended the deadlines: online applications closed on 5 July 2026, fee deposit on 8 July, and the correction window ran from 9 to 11 July. The notice says no further chance to fill or edit the form will be given.
Candidates registered for CET Advt. No. 1/2022 or CET Advt. No. 1/2025 had to use the same registration number; new applicants were given one.
The exam date has not been announced. The advertisement says the admit card and exam date “will be communicated separately”, and no such notice is on the Commission’s website yet. The list of Group D posts will also be published separately — this advertisement does not state a number of vacancies.
The test: 100 multiple-choice questions, 100 marks, 1 hour 45 minutes, at matriculation level, bilingual (English and Hindi) and OMR-based. There is no negative marking for a wrong answer, but a candidate who leaves a question must fill the fifth bubble; leaving all five blank costs one mark. General category candidates need 50% to qualify, reserved categories 40%. If the exam is held in more than one shift, the Commission may normalise the marks.
Candidates who qualified the Group D CET held on 12 January 2024, whose marks are valid until 11 January 2027, have their marks out of 95 converted to a percentage for the combined merit list. CET marks are valid for three years from the result.
