📝 What is HSSC CET Group D and Why Does It Matter?
Let us break this down simply so there is no confusion:
CET (Common Eligibility Test) is NOT a job selection exam. It is an eligibility screening test. Here is how it works:
Step 1 → You appear in HSSC CET Group D 2026
Step 2 → You get a CET Score Card if you qualify
Step 3 → Whenever HSSC announces Group D vacancies, you directly apply for the main exam / skill test using your CET Score Card
Step 4 → You don’t need to give another eligibility test — your CET score does that job for you
This is exactly how Haryana Government is streamlining Group D recruitment. One CET clears your path to multiple Group D positions — including Peon, Chowkidar, Mali, Sweeper, Helper, and other Group D posts across various Haryana Government departments.
