Short Information
The Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) conducted the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) 2026 on 4 and 5 July 2026 for Level 1 (PRT), Level 2 (TGT), and Level 3 (PGT) candidates. BSEH later released the provisional answer key on 6 July 2026, followed by a revised answer key on 7 July 2026, and closed the objection window on 9 July 2026 at 5:00 PM.
Here is who this update is for:
- Candidates who appeared for HTET Level 1, 2, or 3 in July 2026 and want to check their probable score using the answer key.
- Candidates waiting to know when BSEH will declare the final HTET result.
- Anyone tracking eligibility for teaching posts (PRT/TGT/PGT) in Haryana government schools, since a valid HTET score is a mandatory requirement.
Note on naming: BSEH's official press notes refer to this cycle as "HTET Exam - 2025" (named for the year the process began), even though the actual exam, admit card, and answer key all fall in July 2026. This article uses "HTET 2026" since that matches how most candidates search for it, based on the actual exam year.
Important: The admit card download window for this exam has already closed (admit cards were released 1 July 2026, for the 4-5 July exam). If you are looking for the admit card link, you no longer need it since the exam is over. This article focuses on the current stage: answer key and result status.

Application Fee
Not applicable at this stage. The application window for this exam cycle has already closed.
Age Limit
Not Mentioned in Official Notification. HTET is a teacher eligibility (qualifying) test, and BSEH does not prescribe an age limit for appearing in it.
Vacancy Details
Not Applicable. HTET is an eligibility certification exam, not a direct recruitment drive. Clearing it makes you eligible to apply when Haryana government teaching vacancies (PRT/TGT/PGT) are separately advertised.
Educational Qualification
Educational eligibility varies by level, as generally prescribed under BSEH/NCTE norms for HTET:
- Level 1 (PRT): Senior Secondary with at least 50% marks and a 2-year Diploma in Elementary Education (or equivalent), or a Bachelor Degree with a B.Ed.
- Level 2 (TGT): Bachelor Degree with at least 50% marks along with a B.Ed, or an equivalent teacher-training qualification.
- Level 3 (PGT): Master Degree in the relevant subject with at least 50% marks along with a B.Ed.
Candidates should cross-check exact qualification norms for their level on the official HTET notification, since minor variations and relaxations may apply.
Eligibility Criteria
- Candidates must hold the prescribed educational and teacher-training qualification for the level they are applying for.
- There is no upper age limit specifically for appearing in HTET.
- A valid, qualifying HTET score is generally required to apply for PRT/TGT/PGT recruitment in Haryana government schools, subject to the validity period prescribed by the state government.
Selection Process
Not Applicable in the traditional recruitment sense. HTET itself is the qualifying exam. The process for this cycle was: online application and admit card download, written examination, provisional answer key and objection window, revised/final answer key, and result declaration with qualifying marks.
Exam Pattern
HTET follows a standard, unchanged pattern across levels:
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Type of Exam | Objective (MCQ) |
| Total Questions | 150 |
| Total Marks | 150 (1 mark per question) |
| Duration | 2 hours 30 minutes |
| Negative Marking | None |
| Qualifying Marks (General) | 90/150 (60%) |
| Qualifying Marks (SC/ST/OBC, Haryana domicile) | 82/150 (55%) |
Subject-wise weightage differs by level. Candidates should refer to the detailed syllabus PDF on the official website for the exact section-wise breakup for their level.
Salary/Pay Scale
Not Applicable. HTET does not carry a salary by itself; pay scale would apply only once a candidate is recruited to an actual PRT/TGT/PGT teaching post through a separate recruitment process.
Required Documents
- HTET Roll Number / Registration Number
- Date of Birth
