HSSC Group D Syllabus 2026 covers recruitment for Group D posts under the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (Advt. No. 1/2023). This HSSC Group D Syllabus guide breaks down the exam pattern and the full subject-wise topic list, straight from the official syllabus published at hssc.gov.in, so you know exactly what to study before you open a single PDF.
HSSC Group D Syllabus Exam Pattern
Group D recruitment follows the standard two-stage HSSC process. Stage one is the Common Eligibility Test (CET) — 100 questions, 100 marks, roughly 90–105 minutes, covering general awareness, reasoning, Hindi, English and quantitative aptitude. Clearing CET plus the socio-economic criteria stage qualifies you for the group-specific written exam, which is where the HSSC Group D Syllabus below actually applies.
The HSSC Group D Syllabus for the written exam splits into seven weighted parts:
- General Awareness — India and neighbouring countries: History, Indian Polity & Constitution, Art & Culture, Geography — 15% weightage
- General Science — Physics, Chemistry and Biology — 15% weightage
- Reasoning — 10% weightage
- Quantitative Ability — 15% weightage
- English Language — 10% weightage
- Hindi Language — 10% weightage
- General Knowledge of Haryana — 25% weightage
HSSC notes on the official document that this weightage is tentative and may vary, so treat it as a study-time guide rather than a locked question count.

How to Prepare for the HSSC Group D Syllabus Exam
Start with the General Knowledge of Haryana section first — at 25% weightage it carries the single heaviest share of the paper, and it is the section candidates most often under-prepare because they assume it overlaps with general awareness. Work through Quantitative Ability and General Science next since together they make up 30% of the paper, then revisit Reasoning, English and Hindi every week so nothing slips through before exam day.
Don’t skip the common portion either. Basic Hindi grammar and English grammar are easy marks that candidates often lose purely because they didn’t revise the fundamentals.
