# Haryana HSSC to recruit for 8,000 government posts 2026-10-30T05:13:16+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) is preparing to announce recruitment for roughly 8,000 posts across state government departments. Chairman Himmat Singh revealed the proposed drive on October 28, 2026. The detailed notification with post-wise vacancies, eligibility criteria and application dates has not been released yet. The commission is also gearing up for the CET Phase-II written examination for about 14,000 posts advertised earlier. Candidates must hold a valid Haryana Common Eligibility Test (CET) scorecard to apply for the relevant Group C and Group D positions. The stated age limit is 18 to 42 years as of January 1, 2026, with relaxation per rules, though candidates should verify final criteria in the official advertisement. The application fee is nil for all categories, payable online. Selection includes shortlisting on CET scores, written examination, a skill test where needed and document verification. Applications will be accepted online at hssc.gov.in once the link is active. The commission has not set an opening date or deadline for applications. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The HSSC has done little more than signal intent: the 8,000-figure is an expectation, not a sanctioned recruitment plan, the official advertisement is unpromulgated, every key date is marked ‘to be announced’, and the eligibility criteria listed are explicitly provisional. For candidates, this means there is nothing actionable beyond bookmarking hssc.gov.in. The more concrete near-term event is the CET Phase-II written examination, which governs a larger 14,000-post pool already advertised and could absorb much of the commission's administrative bandwidth before the new notification is framed. Haryana job-seekers remain in a holding pattern until the detailed advertisement resolves the gaps the release itself acknowledges. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Leads with a number that is explicitly an expectation, not a sanctioned plan This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
