Haryana Court Clerk Cut Off 2026 – expected range and how it works
The official Haryana Court Clerk cut off 2026 will come only after the written exam result, and the exam itself is expected in August or September 2026. What we already know from the notification: fixed qualifying floors of 33% per subject and 40% aggregate, 1265 vacancies, and merit decided purely by CBT marks. This page puts those pieces together into a realistic target score. Last updated: 11.06.2026.
Qualifying marks vs cut off – not the same thing
The qualifying marks are written into the notification: 33% in General Knowledge, 33% in English Composition, 40% in aggregate. Clearing them only makes you eligible. The actual cut off is the score of the last selected candidate in your category, and with lakhs of applicants chasing 1265 seats, that number sits well above the 40-mark floor.
| Rule | Marks needed (out of 100) |
|---|---|
| General Knowledge minimum (33%) | 16.5 out of 50 |
| English Composition minimum (33%) | 16.5 out of 50 |
| Aggregate minimum (40%) | 40 out of 100 |
Expected cut off 2026
S.S.S.C. has not published category-wise cut off tables for earlier clerk recruitments the way SSC or banking bodies do, so treat the ranges below as estimates built from the vacancy count, the qualifying rules and reported scores of selected candidates in the previous cycle.
| Category | Expected range (out of 100) |
|---|---|
| Unreserved (UR) | 68 to 76 |
| EWS | 64 to 72 |
| BC-A / BC-B | 60 to 70 |
| SC (DSC / OSC) | 54 to 64 |
| ESM / PwBD | 45 to 58 |
The official 2026 cut off will be added here after the result is declared.
What will move the cut off this year
- 1265 vacancies is the biggest clerk recruitment in Haryana courts in years. A bigger seat count pulls the cut off down.
- The subjective English section (30 marks, typed) keeps totals lower than a fully objective paper would. Few candidates score above 24 in it, which caps the top end.
- Negative marking of 0.25 punishes blind guessing in the 100 objective questions.
- Normalization across shifts means a tough shift will not sink you, but it also smooths out easy-shift advantages.
- A graduate-level paper with only two subjects attracts a very wide applicant pool, which pushes the cut off up. The last clerk recruitment drew several lakh applications.
A practical target
For UR and EWS candidates, plan for 75 plus: roughly 40 in GK, 16 in objective English and 20 in the subjective section. Reserved category candidates of Haryana should treat 65 as the safe zone. Anything below 55 makes selection unlikely outside ESM and PwBD. The typed subjective section is where most of the spread happens, so practising essays and Hindi-to-English translation on a keyboard pays off twice — once in the CBT and again in the typing test.
