HARYANA STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION (HSSC) — ADVT 06/2026

HSSC CET Group C Recruitment 2026

HSSC has released the notification for Group C posts — Assistant Superintendent Jail and Warder (Male/Female) — under the Common Eligibility Test (CET) framework. This page is your complete resource center — covering eligibility, the CET prerequisite, and what to prepare before applying from 24 June 2026.

⏰ Apply: 24–30 June 2026 • 1,238 Posts • 💰 No Application Fee • HSSC CET Passed Required

⏰ Applications open on 24 June 2026 and close on 30 June 2026 — only a 6-day window. A 2-day correction window follows from 1–2 July 2026. There is no application fee for this recruitment. Confirm your HSSC CET eligibility now to avoid missing this short window.

📌 Distinct from HSSC CET Group D: This recruitment (Advt 06/2026) is a separate Group C cycle from HSSC's recently covered CET Group D recruitment (Advt 05/2026). Both require an HSSC CET pass, but the post types, qualifications, and exact CET reference cycles differ — candidates should not confuse the two when checking their eligibility documents.

📋 Recruitment Overview

The Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) has released its notification for Group C — Assistant Superintendent Jail and Warder (Male/Female) recruitment under Advertisement No. 06/2026. Online applications open on 24 June 2026 and close on 30 June 2026, with a correction window from 1 to 2 July 2026.

This recruitment covers 1,238 posts — 33 for Assistant Superintendent Jail and 1,205 for Warder — making Warder by far the larger opportunity. Both posts require candidates to have already passed the HSSC Group C CET examination, in addition to their respective educational qualifications.

⭐ Why This Recruitment Matters

This is one of the largest single Group C recruitment drives in Haryana's prison and correctional services, with over 1,200 Warder posts alone. For candidates who have already cleared the HSSC CET, this recruitment converts that qualifying score into direct eligibility for Haryana's jail department — without requiring a fresh written exam at the application stage.

The zero application fee makes this notably accessible, and the dual-track structure (12th pass for Warder, Graduate for Assistant Superintendent Jail) means candidates across two different qualification levels can both find a relevant post within the same notification.

🎯 Who Should Apply

🎓 HSSC Group C CET-passed candidates — this is mandatory for both posts; candidates without a CET pass are not eligible regardless of their educational qualification.

📘 Class 12th pass candidates aged 18–25 years — eligible for the Warder post (1,205 vacancies, the bulk of this recruitment).

🎓 Graduate candidates aged 21–27 years — eligible for the Assistant Superintendent Jail post (33 vacancies).

🏛️ Candidates interested in correctional services / jail administration — a distinct public service career path from general administrative Group C roles.

📈 Career Growth Overview

Warder and Assistant Superintendent Jail are entry-level posts within Haryana's prison and correctional services cadre, which typically follows standard state government seniority-based promotion structures within the jail department.

Not Available — the official notification provided does not specify promotion timelines, cadre progression (e.g., Warder to Head Warder, or further jail department ranks), or detailed career trajectory information. Candidates should refer to the official HSSC website or Haryana Prisons Department service rules for verified career growth information.

💰 Salary and Benefits Summary

Not Available — the official notification provided does not specify pay scale, pay level, or allowance details for either the Warder or Assistant Superintendent Jail post. Candidates should refer to the official HSSC notification or Haryana state pay matrix for verified salary information before making career decisions.

📊 Selection Difficulty Overview

The selection process has three stages: Written Exam, Document Verification, and Medical Examination. The inclusion of a Medical Examination stage is notable for jail/warder roles, which often carry physical fitness expectations beyond typical clerical Group C posts.

With 1,205 Warder posts being the dominant share, this recruitment is comparatively higher-volume than many other state recruitments, which may affect competition dynamics. Not Available — specific cutoff marks or selection ratios are not part of the verified source data. Candidates should refer to HSSC's official previous CET-linked recruitment cutoffs for data-backed difficulty assessment.

📚 Exam Preparation Guidance

1. Confirm your HSSC Group C CET qualifying status first — this is the gatekeeping requirement before either post becomes relevant to you.

2. Apply within the short 24–30 June 2026 window — don't delay, since this is only a 6-day period.

3. If targeting Warder, begin basic physical fitness preparation given the Medical Examination stage in the selection process.

4. If targeting Assistant Superintendent Jail, prepare for a written exam likely to test general knowledge, reasoning, and administrative aptitude relevant to jail management — exact syllabus is pending official release.

5. Use the 1–2 July correction window if you spot any error in your submitted form.

🚫 Common Candidate Mistakes

• Applying without a valid HSSC Group C CET pass, assuming the educational qualification alone (12th or Graduation) is sufficient.

• Confusing this Group C (Advt 06/2026)recruitment with the separately covered Group D (Advt 05/2026)recruitment — they are distinct cycles with different posts and eligibility.

• Missing the short 24–30 Juneapplication window due to its brevity compared to typical 2-3 week windows.

• Applying for Assistant Superintendent Jail without a Graduation degree, or for Warder without a 12th pass — confirm the correct qualification for your intended post.

• Not preparing for the Medical Examination stage, particularly relevant for the Warder post given its physical service nature.

➡️ Next Stage Expectations

After the correction window closes on 2 July 2026, candidates should expect HSSC to announce the written exam date, currently marked "Notify Later" in the official notification. No admit card or exam date has been released yet.

Candidates clearing the written exam will proceed to Document Verification, followed by a Medical Examination as the final stage before appointment. This page will be updated with exam date, admit card, and result information as HSSC releases them.
