HTET 2026 Exam Postponed by Haryana Education Board
The Board of School Education, Haryana has officially postponed the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test for 2026. This important examination was originally scheduled to take place on January 17 and 18, but those dates have now been removed from the official calendar.
Official Website Shows Date Changes
While the board has not issued a formal notification about the postponement, the change appears clearly on their official website. The "important dates" section previously listed January 17 and 18 as examination days. Now that section states that dates will be announced later.
This quiet update strongly suggests a revision in the examination schedule. Candidates should understand that the test will not happen on the previously mentioned dates.
What Candidates Need to Do Now
All aspiring teachers must keep checking the official BSEH website regularly. The board will post updated examination dates there first. Candidates should continue their preparation without interruption since the postponement only affects timing, not the examination content.
Important advice: Do not rely on unofficial sources for information. Only trust updates from the official BSEH website.
About HTET 2026
The Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test serves as a mandatory qualifying examination for teaching positions in government schools across Haryana. Successful candidates receive a state-recognized certificate required for teacher recruitment.
The examination typically attracts around three lakh applicants each year. Last year's results showed the test's competitive nature, with only about 14 percent of candidates clearing the examination.
HTET Examination Structure
The test evaluates candidates at three different teaching levels:
- Level 1 (PRT): For Primary Teachers, covering Child Development and Pedagogy, Language I, Language II, Mathematics, and Environmental Studies.
- Level 2 (TGT): For Trained Graduate Teachers, including Child Development and Pedagogy, two language sections, and a subject-specific section (Mathematics and Science or Social Studies).
- Level 3 (PGT): For Post Graduate Teachers, featuring more advanced subject-specific content alongside Child Development and Pedagogy and language components.
Each level contains 150 questions worth one mark each, totaling 150 marks. Candidates receive two hours and thirty minutes to complete their papers. There is no negative marking, meaning incorrect answers do not reduce scores.
Examination Pattern Details
The HTET typically runs in two shifts across two consecutive days. The examination focuses on both subject knowledge and teaching aptitude. Level 1 tests primary teaching capabilities, Level 2 assesses middle school teaching skills, and Level 3 evaluates senior secondary teaching proficiency.
All three levels emphasize understanding child development and effective teaching methodologies. The subject-specific sections become progressively more challenging at higher levels.
Preparation Strategy During Postponement
Candidates should use this additional time wisely. Focus on strengthening weaker subject areas while maintaining knowledge of stronger topics. Regular revision and practice tests remain essential.
Remember that the postponement affects all candidates equally. Stay calm and continue systematic preparation. The board will announce new dates soon, and candidates must be ready when those dates arrive.
Keep your study materials organized and maintain a consistent preparation schedule. This unexpected delay provides extra time for thorough revision and practice.
