With the Common Eligibility Test (CET) for Group-C posts fast approaching on July 26 and 27, the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) released a critical update on July 24 regarding the exam day dress code and security protocols. To maintain the integrity of the examination, authorities have enforced a strict ban on personal stationery while ensuring religious sentiments are respected.
🚫 Strict Anti-Cheating Measures In a bid to prevent malpractice and the use of electronic devices, the commission has tightened entry regulations.
-
No Stationery: Candidates are strictly prohibited from carrying pens, pencils, erasers, or sharpeners into the exam hall. Black or blue ballpoint pens will be provided by the invigilators inside the center.
-
Dress Code: Aspirants are advised to wear simple clothing. Garments with large buttons, heavy embroidery, or thick soles are not permitted to facilitate faster frisking.
-
Prohibited Items: Mobile phones, smartwatches, belts, wallets, and any metallic items (other than exempted religious symbols) are banned.
✅ Religious Exemptions Confirmed Addressing concerns from previous years, the administration has issued specific clarifications regarding religious attire.
-
Mangalsutra Allowed: Married female candidates will be permitted to wear the Mangalsutra.
-
Sikh Religious Symbols: Amritdhari Sikh candidates are allowed to carry the Kirpan and Kara, provided they report to the exam center early for security screening.
⏰ Reporting & Security
-
Gate Closing: Entry gates will close exactly one hour before the exam start time to allow for biometric attendance and frisking.
-
Biometrics: Aadhar-based biometric verification will be mandatory at the entry point to prevent impersonation.
