Besides, the gross annual income of the family for availing 5 per cent marks should be less than Rs 1.80 lakh per annum.

This benefit is also available to widows, and the first and second child whose father died before attaining the age of 42. The denotified tribes of Haryana will also be eligible for this benefit.

“The CET is being introduced to simplify and standardise the recruitment process for government employment for Group C and D,” a senior officer said.
