Candidates whose applications have been provisionally accepted can download the admit cards from the HPPSC recruitment portal using their User ID, Password and security Captcha code. The exam for Hindi and Chemistry will be held on October 4, 2026, and for Physical Education and Music-Instrumental on October 7, 2026. Paper-I (Screening Test) runs from 11 AM to 12 Noon, and Paper-II (Subject Aptitude Test) from 2 PM to 5 PM. Entry closes 30 minutes before each paper, at 10:30 AM for Paper-I and 1:30 PM for Paper-II. The recruitment covers 410 posts, including 373 in the Higher Education Wing across 23 subjects and 37 in the Medical Education Wing. English has the most posts at 39, followed by Chemistry and Hindi at 34 each. The monthly emolument is Rs 35,000 under the Group-A Job Trainee framework. Selection includes the tests followed by a Personality Test. ## Indian Opinion Analysis HPPSC's 410-post recruitment is the largest Assistant Professor drive in the state in recent years, covering both college and medical education wings. The screening test format with a separate subject aptitude paper is standard for HPPSC but leaves a large candidate pool competing for 34 English posts and 34 each in Chemistry and Hindi. Candidates should note that the Personality Test stage, which follows the written exams, can significantly alter final rankings. The next concrete milestone is the exam dates on October 4 and 7, 2026. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Assistant Professor, Himachal Pradesh, HPPSC Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/hppsc-releases-admit-cards-for-assistant-professor-exam-2026/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
