Haryana CET Kya Hai? Haryana sarkar jobs after CET

Haryana CET kya hai? Why clearing this one single exam – makes you eligible for Group D and Group C vacancies in Haryana. Basically, you’re treated like damadji and you’re invited for state govt jobs like clerical posts, Haryana Police, steno, Home guard jobs, etc.

Whether you’re a fresher, a graduate, or an experienced individual – clearing Haryana CET is critical.

Why Haryana CET was started by the govt?

Everybody knows that getting a govt job in Haryana is difficult. Due to corruption, court cases, and govt delays – it can take years and decades for qualified people like you to actually get the job.

To bring more transparency in the direct recruitment process, Govt of Haryana introduced CET (Common Entrance Test) to simplify the process. This test was supposed to be conducted once a year by HSSC (Haryana Staff Selection Commission).

Those who clear CET are treated like damads and are invited to appear for many Haryana state government jobs. Those who aren’t able to clear this one exam – aren’t even allowed to apply.
