The 2025 session of the Common Eligibility Test (CET), conducted by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) for Group C posts, has been one of the largest recruitment drives across the state. Organized to fill various Group C positions across multiple government departments, the exam was conducted on July 26 and 27, 2025.
With over 13.47 lakh candidates registering, making it one of the largest exams in Haryana’s recent memory, the anticipation for the result has been intense. Applicants are now eagerly awaiting the official announcement, which will determine who qualifies to apply for various posts, from clerks to technicians, under the state government. This article provides an overview of the HSSC CET 2025, including expected cut-offs, the result preparation process, and instructions on how to check the results once they are published.
HSSC CET 2025 Result Date
The HSSC CET is a state-level eligibility test designed to centralize and streamline recruitment for various Group C (and Group D) posts under the Haryana government. For 2025, the exam was conducted for Group C posts on July 26 and 27, 2025, across multiple shifts.
According to HSSC data, around 13.47 lakh candidates applied for the 2025 CET, reflecting the high demand for government vacancies in the state.
The exam pattern was OMR‑based, consisting of 100 MCQs, with a total mark of 100, and a duration of 1 hour and 45 minutes. The question paper was bilingual, written in both Hindi and English.
The 2025 CET serves as a qualifying exam; those who clear it become eligible to apply for various Group C posts, such as clerk, stenographer, technician, laboratory attendant, junior accountant, and other similar positions across Haryana.
As of now, HSSC has not published an official result date. However, multiple education portals suggest that the result is likely to be released by the end of December 2025 (some earlier estimates had pointed to November, but December seems to be the more consistently reported date recently).
HSSC CET 2025 Expected Cut-Off Marks
While the official cut-off will only be known once the HSSC releases the result and accompanying cut-off list, some analysts, based on exam difficulty, the number of candidates, and past patterns, have offered estimates for what might be considered a passing score.
- For general category candidates, ~50% of the total marks (i.e., ~50 out of 100) could be the qualifying threshold.
- For reserved categories (e.g., SC / OBC / EWS), the expected qualifying marks may be lower, roughly 40% of the total marks.
- As per one forecast, for 2025:
- EWS category: ~60–65 marks
- BCB (Backward Class B): ~55–65 marks
- BCA (Backward Class A): ~60–65 marks
Note: These are speculative estimates. The actual cut-off will depend on the number of candidates who appeared, the difficulty level of the paper, the number of vacancies for various posts, and the reservation quotas.
Result Preparation Process
Here’s how the result process for HSSC CET typically works:
- Conduct of Exam: The OMR‑based written test is conducted over multiple shifts. For 2025, it was held on 26 and 27 July across many centres.
- Answer Key Release: After exam completion, HSSC publishes a provisional (shift‑wise) answer key. For 2025, this was released on 29 July 2025.
- Objection Period (if any): Candidates get a window to raise objections against any incorrect answers in the provisional key. The commission reviews those and finalizes the answer key accordingly.
- Evaluation & Merit List Preparation: Based on the final answer key, answer sheets (MCQ responses) are evaluated, and scores are computed. Then HSSC prepares a merit/eligibility list of candidates who have scored equal to or above the cut-off.
- Result Publishing: Results and scorecards are published online (PDF / login‑based) on the official website. The result will list the roll numbers/registration numbers of all qualified candidates, along with their marks, category-wise cut-offs, and qualifying status.
- Validity: The CET scorecard remains valid for 3 years, meaning qualified candidates can use their CET certificate to apply for relevant Group C (and possibly future Group D) posts within that period.
After the result is announced, selected candidates may need to undergo further stages, depending on the post requirements (document verification, trade test, etc.), as specified in the job notifications.
How to Check HSSC CET 2025 Result — Step by Step?
Once the result is released, follow these steps to check your result:

Candidates should also check for category‑wise cut-off and qualifying status in the result document.
