HSSC JE Civil 2026: Exam Pattern, Syllabus, Cut Off & Free Mock Tests
HSSC Junior Engineer (Civil) — Haryana
HSSC Junior Engineer (Civil) recruits JEs for Haryana government departments — PWD (B&R), Public Health, Irrigation, Panchayati Raj and urban bodies — through the Haryana Staff Selection Commission.
Haryana's recruitment now runs through the CET (Common Eligibility Test) system: you must clear the Haryana CET (Group C) first, and JE selection then proceeds from the CET-qualified pool as per the recruitment notification.
