The Haryana Staff Selection Commission has declared the written examination results for the recruitment of 13,657 posts in the CET Group-D category. Aspiring candidates can access the results on the Commission’s website, www.hssc.gov.in, by using their registration number and date of birth. The test was conducted by the National testing agency, a Government of India organization on behalf of the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC).

The recruitment process for these positions involved an ‘OMR’ based written examination conducted on October 21st and 22nd, 2023.

HSSC Chairman, Sh Bhopal Singh Khadri, said that out of the 13,84,012 candidates who registered for the examination, 8,55,221 candidates appeared in the exam. Through a merit-based selection process, a total of 13,657 candidates will be chosen for various positions, including 13,104 in the common cadre of the state government and 553 in different boards and corporations. The distribution comprises 5,875 posts for the general category, 2,730 for Scheduled Caste, 2,183 for BC-A, 1,504 for BC-B, and 1,365 for economically weaker section candidates.
