Official exam info

Haryana Public Service Commission's Combined Competitive Examination for the Haryana Civil Service (Executive Branch) and Allied Services — the state's senior administrative-service exam. Mains has 6 papers: qualifying-only English and Hindi language/essay papers, and 4 compulsory General Studies papers (GS1 Heritage/Culture/History/Geography, GS2 Governance/Constitution/Polity/IR, GS3 Technology/Economy/Environment/Security, GS4 Ethics/Integrity/Aptitude) — all four verbatim-identical in structure to UPSC's own Mains GS papers, with a 'Related issues of Haryana' clause appended to GS1-3. No optional subjects exist in this pattern. Study material reuses UPSC's own extensive GS1-4 citation corpus (culture, modern India, world history, geography, polity, international relations, GS3 economy/tech/security, and the complete GS4 ethics paper) plus the verified national content pool, with 2 chapters authored fresh for Haryana's own history/culture/society (Rakhigarhi, the Battles of Panipat, Jat community and Khap panchayats, folk culture) and economy/polity/governance (Gurugram/Maruti Suzuki industrial belt, HAFED, Panchayati Raj, the NCR relationship and Sutlej-Yamuna Link dispute).
