KKN Gurugram Desk | In a major relief for coaching aspirants, the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) has extended the registration deadline for the Common Eligibility Test (CET) 2025 by two days. The Group C recruitment exam for various state-level posts in Haryana now accepts applications until June 14, 2025, a boon for those grappling with technical issues.
Previously, the HSSC CET registration closed on June 12 at 11:59 PM. However, due to widespread difficulties in generating required certificates via the Saaral portal, many candidates expressed distress on social media. Responding to these concerns, HSSC Chairman Himmat Singh announced the extension:
“Considering the candidates’ interest and enthusiasm, the CET 2025 registration deadline has been extended by two days. Now, aspirants can fill the form till June 14, 2025, 11:59 PM, and pay the application fee by June 16, 2025, 6 PM. No further extension will be granted.”
The deadline extension comes at a crucial time—daily application numbers have soared:
June 10: 108,013 registrations
June 11: 162,472 registrations
June 12 (by 00:01 AM): 78 forms submitted
These figures highlight the high demand and expanding reach for Group C recruitment through HSSC CET.
The 2025 HSSC CET includes major reforms designed for efficiency and equity:
Three-Year Validity
Successful candidates can use their CET score for job applications over a three-year window, reducing the need for repeat attempts.
Increased Shortlist Ratio
Earlier, 4 candidates were shortlisted per vacancy for screening tests. Now, the ratio has increased to 10 candidates per post, improving chances for qualified aspirants.
Reservation Norm Changes
The previously allotted 5 marks for socio-economic criteria (SEBC) have been removed, indicating a shift in reservation policy. Detailed guidelines will be released shortly.
Expanded Recruitments
CET scores will now be used to recruit for positions in Haryana Police, Jail Department, and Home Guards, along with other Group C vacancies.
The CET system integrates multiple recruitment drives into a unified process, offering candidates:
Time efficiency: One common exam covers several Group C posts
Cost-effective: Fewer application fees and reduced travel costs
Predictability: Score-based merit lists offer transparency
Routine recruitment: Held once every three years, reducing frequency anxiety
Since its first implementation in 2022, CET 2025 marks only the second edition, reinforcing its role in reshaping Haryana’s hiring landscape.
