Haryana ADA Cut Off 2026 Analysis:

HPSC sets the shortlisting bar separately for each category — General/UR, EWS, BCA, BCB, SC (DSC/OSC), ESM, and PwBD — since the 255 posts are split across these groups.

• General/UR usually has the highest cut-off, since competition for the 134 general seats is the toughest.
• EWS, BCA, and BCB sit a bit lower.
• SC (DSC/OSC), ESM, and PwBD cut-offs are usually the lowest, going by reservation rules and the number of applicants.

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.

Here are the key takeaways:  

• HPSC has not released any specific cut-off with the Haryana ADA screening test result 2026.  
• Screening Test marks do not count toward final merit; selection is Subject Knowledge Test (87.5%) + Interview (12.5%). 
• The official 2026 category-wise cut-off is released with the result on hpsc.gov.in; all figures circulating now, including a safe-score range of roughly 48-55+ for General, are estimates. 
• General/UR cut-offs run highest; reserved-category cut-offs are lower, set within each pool.
