The HSSC CET Group D exam is an offline OMR-based test. The question paper is bilingual (English & Hindi). Understanding the marking scheme is vital for your mock exam strategy.
| Subject | Questions | Marks | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Awareness, Reasoning, Maths, English, Hindi, Science | 75 | 75 | 1 Hour 45 Mins (105 Minutes) |
| Haryana GK (History, Geography, Polity, Culture, Current Affairs) | 25 | 25 | 1 Hour 45 Mins (105 Minutes) |

⚠️ The 5th Bubble Rule (Negative Marking for Unattempted Questions):
There is NO negative marking for a wrong answer. However, if a candidate does not wish to attempt a question, they MUST fill the 5th circle/bubble on the OMR sheet. Failure to fill the 5th bubble for an unattempted question will result in a deduction of 1 mark. Our mock tests are designed to help you practice this exact OMR strategy.
Minimum Qualifying Marks: General Category candidates must score at least 50%, while Reserved Category (vertical & horizontal) candidates must secure at least 40% to pass the CET.
