The Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) has activated the correction window for the CET 2025 (Common Eligibility Test, Group C) applications. This move comes following a High Court order in a petition challenging earlier decisions. Candidates who have already applied for the HSSC CET can now make permitted edits to their application details within a limited window.
The correction portal is open from 17 October to 24 October 2025.
This window is intended to allow applicants to correct errors — mainly relating to category / caste certificates and related documentation — which may affect eligibility or reservation status.

Why Was the Correction Window Opened?
The opening of this correction window is not just procedural: it results from a court directive. A case titled Sheetal and others vs State of Haryana & another (CWP No. 17581 of 2025) was decided on 7 July 2025, compelling HSSC to provide an opportunity for candidates to rectify critical data.
Under this directive, HSSC has been instructed to allow corrections, especially for category / caste data, but with some constraints (such as document upload deadlines, etc.).
It’s important to note: not all fields may be editable — only specific parts as permitted by HSSC (typically reservation / category / certificate details) will be open for modification.
Also, HSSC clarifies that no corrections in physical form will be accepted at its offices, nor will further extensions be granted beyond the set window.
Key Dates & Timelines
| Event | Date / Details |
|---|---|
| Correction window opens | 17 October 2025 |
| Correction window closes | 24 October 2025 |
| Exam held on | 26–27 July 2025 (CET) |
Candidates must complete corrections before the deadline—late submissions will not be considered.
What Candidates Can (Likely) Correct
The correction window is primarily meant to allow changes to reservation / category / certificate details, especially where caste certificate or category information was wrong or incomplete.
Specifically:
Upload correct caste / category certificates in support of claims. Possibly correct certain category fields (from General → OBC / SC etc.) where earlier entry was incorrect.
Ensure that the uploaded supporting document dates are valid and comply with cut-off / upload timelines as prescribed (some controversy exists around the date condition).
However, fields like name, date of birth, exam center etc. may or may not be editable (depending on HSSC’s rules). The notification suggests only selected “reservation / certificate” fields are open.
How to Use the Correction Window: Step by Step
Follow these steps to make corrections:
Visit the official HSSC CET correction portal — usually at onetimeregn.haryana.gov.in or via HSSC’s CET portal.
Login using your registered credentials (registration number, password, or date of birth) as provided during the original application.
Once logged in, navigate to “Edit / Modify Application / Correction Portal” link.
Identify the fields allowed for correction (usually category / certificate / reservation) and make the necessary edits.
Upload supporting documents (e.g., caste certificate) in the prescribed file formats (PDF / JPEG) within the allowed size limits.
Confirm and submit the corrected application. A confirmation or updated form download link may become available.
Keep a copy of the corrected version / printout for future reference.
Be careful and double-check before final submission, because further editing may not be allowed post the window.
Points of Caution & Important Conditions
The correction window is strictly limited — no extensions will be entertained beyond 24 October.
Physical requests / submissions will not be accepted — all corrections must be done online via the portal.
HSSC insists documents must have been issued / valid before a certain cut-off date (June 14, 2025) — candidates must ensure that their certificate dates align.
Some aspirants have raised objections that the application portal itself launched after June 14, making it difficult to comply with the upload deadline.
Corrections made without valid supporting documents may not be accepted, and reservation benefits may not apply if invalid documents are uploaded.
Why This Correction Window Matters
Many candidates may have applied with incorrect or incomplete category / certificate info, which affects whether they are eligible for reservation benefits or inclusion in correct category lists.
Without this window, such errors might lead to disqualification or loss of rightful benefits.
This step increases fairness, especially after the High Court’s direction, ensuring that deserving candidates are not penalized for honest mistakes.
