The Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) has introduced key updates in the CET (Common Eligibility Test) shortlisting process despite recent amendments. The new rules aim to ensure transparency and fairness while addressing concerns about multiple candidates being shortlisted for the same post. Here’s a detailed look at the changes and their implications for aspirants.
Overview of Changes in the Haryana CET Shortlisting Process
The main highlight of the amended shortlisting process is that for each vacancy, candidates will now be shortlisted multiple times within defined groups. Previously, the commission followed a four-times shortlisting rule, which has now been revised. However, even after these changes, the rule of shortlisting candidates in a group-based manner remains intact.
Key Highlights:
- Previous Process: Candidates were shortlisted four times the number of advertised vacancies.
- Amendment: Candidates are now shortlisted in defined groups for each vacancy.
- Implications: No significant changes have been made for teacher posts, as these positions were excluded from CET earlier.

Statistical Insights into Shortlisting
The data for the Haryana CET shortlisting process reveals significant figures:
- Total Posts: 24,420.
- Unique Candidates Shortlisted: Over 50,566 candidates were shortlisted multiple times.
- Specifics: For 9683 posts, 15,603 candidates were shortlisted. Similarly, for other positions, group-based shortlisting was implemented.
The commission has emphasized that the group-wise approach does not disrupt fairness in the selection process, as every CET-qualified candidate is given a fair opportunity.
Challenges and Concerns in the Shortlisting Process
Despite the structured rules, some challenges persist:
- Reservation Policy Impact: Addressing reservation policies within group-based shortlisting remains complex.
- Fair Representation: Ensuring equal opportunities for all CET-qualified candidates is critical.
- Verification Process: The claims of candidates are verified thoroughly before the written examination.
Additionally, special provisions for categories such as ex-servicemen allow certain relaxations in the 10-times shortlisting rule.
Conclusion: What This Means for Aspirants
The amendments to the Haryana CET shortlisting process aim to streamline the recruitment while maintaining transparency. Aspirants are advised to prepare thoroughly for the written examination as the shortlisting process has become more structured and competitive. The emphasis on fairness ensures that all candidates qualifying for CET will have equal opportunities to secure government jobs.
