The Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam (HKRN) has rolled out a new point-based selection system to make the recruitment process for government contractual jobs more transparent and merit-driven. Instead of relying on traditional written exams, candidates are now selected based on a cumulative score from various factors. The scores under this new system are determined by the following criteria:
| Category | Maximum Marks |
|---|---|
| Annual Family Income | 40 |
| Age of Candidate | 10 |
| Skill Qualification | 05 |
| Additional Higher Qualification | 05 |
| CET (Common Eligibility Test) Score | 10 |
| Ease of Deployment | 10 |
| Total | 80 |
Inside the HKRN Score Calculation
The total score is the sum of points earned across six categories:
-
Annual Family Income (40 marks): This holds the highest weightage. The lower the family income, the more points you earn, with a maximum of 40 points for families with an annual income up to ₹1,00,000.
-
Age of Candidate (10 marks): Younger candidates are favored, with those aged 24-36 years receiving 10 points.
-
Skill & Higher Qualification (10 marks): You can earn up to 5 points for possessing a National Council of Vocational Training (NCVT) skill certificate, and an additional 5 points for holding a qualification higher than the minimum required for the position.
-
CET Score (10 points): Candidates who have passed the Haryana Common Eligibility Test (CET) receive 10 points.
-
Ease of Deployment (10 points): This includes an additional 10 points to preference local candidates, especially those from economically weaker sections of Haryana.
Understanding the Overall Selection Process
While the new point system is the primary method for creating the merit list, the final appointment is a multi-step journey:
-
Online Application: The process begins with submitting your application through the official HKRN portal for any advertised vacancy.
-
Merit List Preparation: Your application is automatically scored using the new system, and a merit list is generated based on the highest total scores.
-
Shortlisting & Document Verification: Candidates from the merit list are shortlisted, and their original documents are verified for authenticity.
-
Final Selection: The final selection is confirmed upon successful document verification and completion of a mandatory medical examination.
