HSSC to conduct physical test with Aadhaar-based verification

Chandigarh: Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) member Bhupender Chauhan has informed that the Physical Measurement Test (PMT) being conducted by the commission will this time be held using Aadhaar-based biometric verification.Keeping this in view, all candidates are advised to check the lock status of their Aadhaar biometrics in advance and unlock it, if required, to ensure that the verification process is completed smoothly and on time. He said that if a candidate's Aadhaar biometric remains locked, it may lead to unnecessary delays in verification, especially since the use of mobile phones will not be permitted at the examination centre. "Therefore, candidates should unlock their Aadhaar biometrics in advance using the biometric lock/unlock option available on the official UIDAI website," he said. Chauhan further stated that the Physical Measurement Test has been made fully modern, transparent, and technology-driven this time to ensure fair and equal opportunities for all candidates. For measuring height and chest, special sensor-based advanced machines have been procured from Germany. These machines, equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, will ensure complete accuracy in measurements, eliminating any human error. If the measurements do not meet the prescribed standards, the machine will immediately indicate the same, thereby maintaining the credibility of the entire process.He added that RFID technology has also been implemented to further streamline and enhance transparency in the examination process. Through this, accurate records of each candidate's activities and presence at various stages within the examination centre will be maintained. "This will not only expedite the process but also strengthen monitoring at every stage," he said. Chauhan said that the Commission's objective is to make the entire selection process transparent, time-bound, and candidate-friendly. The commission has appealed to all candidates to follow the prescribed guidelines and appear in the examination with full preparation and confidence.As per sources, Physical Measurement Test for various posts across departments will commence from April 20, 2026, at 6:30 am.
