Once the CET results are out, the HSSC will release separate notifications for various Group C positions in different government departments, boards, and corporations. As a CET-qualified candidate, you can then apply for the posts that match your qualifications. The details about the number of vacancies, job titles, and departments will all be clearly mentioned in those future advertisements.

Salary
While this notice doesn't specify exact salaries (since it's a qualifying test for many future jobs), you can look forward to the stability and benefits of a government pay scale. Group C posts in Haryana come with a good salary based on the 7th Pay Commission, along with allowances like Dearness Allowance (DA) and House Rent Allowance (HRA). The detailed pay scale for each specific post will be clearly mentioned in the recruitment ads that follow the CET.
Selection Process
While there's no physical test (PET/PST) for the CET itself, remember that for specific roles like in the Police or Prisons department, a physical test will be part of the second stage of selection.
Stage 1: The Common Eligibility Test (CET)
- This is an offline, OMR-based written exam.
- Your goal is to clear the minimum qualifying marks to move to the next round.
- General Category: 50% (50 out of 100 marks)
- Reserved Categories: 40% (40 out of 100 marks)
- Your CET score remains valid for three years.
Stage 2: The Main Exam or Skill Test
- Based on how you score in the CET, HSSC will invite top-ranking candidates to apply for specific jobs.
- For each job, a limited number of candidates (usually around 10 times the number of vacancies) will be called for this second stage.
- This could be another written exam focused on the job's specific needs or a practical skill test (like typing for a clerk's post).
- Your performance in this second stage will determine the final selection.
