What is HTET?

HTET, or Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test, is a state-level teacher eligibility test conducted by the Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH). Candidates who want to qualify as teachers in Haryana schools appear for HTET according to the teaching level for which they meet the required eligibility criteria. HTET is an eligibility test rather than a direct recruitment exam. Qualifying this means that a candidate has cleared the prescribed teacher eligibility requirement; candidates must separately meet the recruitment requirements of the concerned teaching post and recruiting authority.

Level I (Primary Teacher / PRT): teaching in classes 1 to 5
Level II (Trained Graduate Teacher / TGT ): for classes 6 to 8
Stage III (Postgraduate Teacher/PGT): for teaching 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th classes.
