Overview
- Only 151 candidates advanced to interviews in the Haryana college‑cadre English recruitment despite over 600 advertised posts.
- Bhupinder Singh Hooda alleged the BJP government sidelined Haryana residents, saying fewer than 8 percent of the qualifiers are from the state.
- PTI-reported data indicate nearly 4,500 entered the process, about 2,000 took the 150‑mark descriptive paper, and few reached the 35 percent qualifying threshold.
- Critics cited reservation shortfalls, noting selections well below reserved seats, including BC-A 60 seats with 6 selected, BC-B 36 with 3, and EWS 60 with 6.
- Activists said even UGC‑NET and JRF qualifiers and some PhD scholars failed to clear the test, and the reports carried no official explanation from the government or HPSC.
