The selection process of HPAS will consist of three successive stages:
Preliminary Examination
Main Written Examination
Viva-Voce
HPAS Prelims examination
The preliminary examination comprises two objective type question papers. Candidates who qualify prelims papers will be eligible to sit for mains exam.
HPAS Mains Examination (Written)
The candidates who qualify the prelims exam would be required to fill the application form for mains exam to appear for the written exam. The total number of students called for written exam will be 20 times the total number of vacancies as mentioned.
For qualifying, the written examination one must obtain 40% marks in English and Hindi along with 45% marks in aggregate. These marks are only required as a qualifying score, they won’t be included in the final ranking.
HPAS Viva-Voce
The candidates are called for viva voice test based on their performance in the written examination. On average, the number of candidates is three times the number of vacancies.

Hi,
Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (HPPSC) have not released any official notification yet, but will be released soon. HPAS prelims exam will be tentatively held on 20th of may while the HPAS main will be held tentatively on 4th August. The mode of examination will be offline.
For more details regarding fees for registration, eligibility and syllabus refer to this link: https://competition.careers360.com/exams/hpas
I hope this helped you.
According to official and different website last date will be around 2 nd week of February 2021. Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (HPPSC) conducts a state-level combined competitive examination called Himachal Pradesh Administrative Services (HPAS). Jobs to various posts of Administrative services will be given through this recruitment process. Candidates can apply online from the official website as at hppsc.hp.gov.in.
Hi Shilpa
HAS exam is for various posts under HPPCS.
So , following are the eligibility criteria:-
1. Can you do it must be a citizen of India
2. Candidate's age should be from 21 years to 35 years
3. Candidates who are familiar with Himachal Pradesh dialect , customs , environment and traditions will be preferred over those who don't.
So even if you are from Punjab and not from Himachal Pradesh will not matter much.
But it will be like icing on cake if you would know about Himachal Pradesh's customs , traditions and dialects.
Best Of Luck!!!!
