According to a report published in the Dainik Bhaskar newspaper on 6 July 2025, the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) is preparing to conduct the CET Group C Exam on 26th and 27th July 2025. While the official confirmation from the Haryana government is still awaited, sources indicate that the exam is most likely to be held over the last weekend of July.
As per the report, the Commission will organize the CET in four shifts across two days (Saturday and Sunday). In one shift, around 4.73 lakh candidates will appear, allowing the Commission to cover all 13.47 lakh registered applicants within two days. The exam will be held in 1350 centres across Haryana.
Initially, HSSC had planned over 2300 centres, but after further scrutiny and ground inspections, the number was reduced to 1684, and then further down by 334 centres, bringing the final count to 1350 exam centres.
To ensure smooth conduct and transparency, two nodal officers will be appointed in each district—one from the police department for security arrangements and the other from the district administration. Moreover, over 13,000 security personnel will be deployed for the exam. Each centre is expected to have around 10 security staff, separate from the examination staff.
The exam is being held for Group C posts, and is one of the largest recruitment drives under HSSC, with lakhs of youth across the state eagerly awaiting their opportunity.
