Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) has released a large deputation-based recruitment notice covering 76 posts across technical, scientific, and administrative cadres. The spread is wide, from senior scientific roles such as Chief Scientific Officer and Senior Scientist, through Environmental Engineers and Scientist B, down to support roles like Stenographers, Assistants, Accountant, and Accounts Clerk.
Because the HSPCB Recruitment 2026 drive is entirely deputation-based, it is meant for serving government employees already working in an analogous post in state or central government departments, not for candidates applying fresh from the open market. With 13 different post categories, varying 7th Pay Commission pay levels, and a single offline application route, eligible government staff interested in moving to the Pollution Control Board should apply through proper channel before the 1 October 2026 deadline.
Rs. 19,900 (Level 2) up to Rs. 2,19,600 (Level 19), 7th CPC

Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility for HSPCB’s 76 posts is entirely qualification- and post-specific, and all posts are filled on deputation, meaning applicants must already be serving in an analogous state or central government post. Chief Scientific Officer requires an M.Sc. in Chemistry, Environmental Science, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or Chemical Engineering along with service on an equivalent post. Senior Scientist needs a PhD or fellowship in a relevant environmental discipline, or an M.Sc. in Mathematics/Statistics/Physics with 8+ years of programming experience. Environmental Engineer and Assistant Environmental Engineer require a B.E./B.Tech (first division) in Civil, Chemical, or Environmental Engineering, with 7-9 years of experience for the senior role. Scientist B requires a first-division M.Sc. in Chemistry, Environmental Sciences, Botany, Microbiology, or Biochemistry. Administrative posts require progression through the stenography/clerical cadre (for example, Private Secretary needs 2 years as Personal Assistant, and Personal Assistant needs 5 years as Senior Scale Stenographer), while Accountant needs an M.Com (second division) or B.Com (first division) with 2 years of commercial accounting experience, and Accounts Clerk needs a B.Com (second division) with 3 years of experience.
