Selection Process Stages

Stage 1: Shortlisting based on CET Scores
Initial shortlisting of candidates occurs based on their HSSC CET Group C examination scores. This stage forms the first filter for applicants. Only shortlisted candidates move to the physical assessment rounds.
Stage 2: Physical Measurement Test (PMT)
The Physical Measurement Test (PMT) assesses candidates’ physical standards. This test includes measurements of height and chest. Candidates must meet the specified physical parameters to qualify for the next stage.
Stage 3: Physical Screening Test (PST)
Following the PMT, candidates undergo the Physical Screening Test (PST). The PST includes a running test. This stage evaluates the physical endurance and fitness of candidates. Successful completion of the PST is mandatory for further consideration.
Stage 4: Knowledge Test
HSSC will shortlist candidates for the Knowledge Test. The number of shortlisted candidates will be ten times the advertised posts for each category. This selection will be made from those who qualified both PMT and PST. The Knowledge Test carries a 97% weightage in the final selection process. It consists of objective-type questions and multiple-choice questions (MCQs), with each question carrying equal marks.
Passing marks for the Knowledge Test vary by category. General category candidates must secure at least 50% marks . Reserved category candidates need a minimum of 40% marks to pass. These percentages are crucial for advancing in the selection process, as stated in the official HSSC notice.
