Haryana ADA Category-Wise Cut Off 2026: How It Works 

HPSC releases the shortlisting cut-off category-wise: General/UR, EWS, BCA, BCB, SC (DSC/OSC), ESM, and PwBD, because the 255 posts are reserved across these categories. Typically:  

• General/UR carries the highest cut-off, because competition for the 134 general seats is fiercest. 
• EWS, BCA, BCB sit somewhat lower. 
• SC (DSC/OSC), ESM and PwBD cut-offs are usually lower still, reflecting reservation norms and applicant pools.  

Here's the Haryana ADA 2026 category-wise vacancy split:  

Category	Posts
General	134
EWS	26
BCA	28
BCB	15
DSC	26
OSC	26
ESM (General)	07
ESM (BCA)	03
ESM (BCB)	02
ESM (SC)	02
PwBD (LD / Cerebral Palsy)	14
Total	255

Factors That Decide the Haryana ADA Cut Off Each Year 

Four levers move the Haryana ADA cut-off up or down:  

• Number of Vacancies: 255 posts this cycle is a large intake, which tends to widen the shortlist (4 × 255 = 1,020 candidates for the SKT) and can soften the cut-off relative to a small-vacancy year. 
• Number of Applicants: The registration window was reopened, drawing more candidates, which pushes competition up. 
• Paper Difficulty: The 2026 paper was reported moderate-to-difficult with lengthy statement-based questions, which typically lowers raw cut-offs. 
• Category Reservation: Each category's cut-off is set within its own pool, so a strong General pool does not lift the SC/ST line and vice versa.
