Quick Summary
Haryana's recruitment OTR is built around two connected systems — the Common Eligibility Test (CET) One Time Registration and the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) portal — and this page explains how the two fit together.
Overview
Haryana One Time Registration is the state government's common candidate profile requirement for most Group C and Group D recruitment in the state. Rather than a single standalone portal, "Haryana OTR" in practice refers to the CET (Common Eligibility Test) registration, which then feeds into HSSC's own recruitment process for specific posts.
CET vs HSSC — What's the Difference
The CET One Time Registration is the base profile every candidate needs before appearing for Haryana's Common Eligibility Test — it captures your personal, educational and category details once. HSSC (Haryana Staff Selection Commission) then uses your CET score and OTR profile to let you apply to specific post-wise recruitment notifications without re-entering your details. In short: CET registration comes first, HSSC applications come after, using the same OTR profile.
Always complete registration on the official CET/HSSC portal linked from HSSC's own website. Confirm the current URL and any active notification before entering personal details or paying a fee.
Registration Steps
- Visit the official Haryana CET One Time Registration portal (linked from hssc.gov.in).
- Register with your mobile number and email, then verify via OTP.
- Fill in personal, educational, category and family-ID details.
- Upload your photograph and signature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, in practice. The CET (Common Eligibility Test) registration is what most people mean by "Haryana One Time Registration" — it's the base profile used across HSSC recruitment.
No. Once your CET/OTR profile is complete, you use the same registration number to apply for different HSSC notifications, without refilling your core details.
Check hssc.gov.in directly, or see this site's Haryana CET portal guide and HSSC guide for the latest linked information.
Conclusion
Whether you search for it as HSSC, CET or simply Haryana OTR, all three point to the same underlying registration — complete it early so you're ready the moment a new post-wise notification opens.
