The Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) for November 2026 is expected to be held on 21 and 22 November 2026, according to reports based on a public notice from the Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH), Bhiwani. The test is planned for all three levels — Level 1 for Primary Teachers (PRT), Level 2 for Trained Graduate Teachers (TGT) and Level 3 for Post Graduate Teachers (PGT). These are the expected dates at this stage, and the final schedule will be confirmed in the detailed notification on the official portal, bseh.org.in.
As per the expected schedule, Level 3 (PGT) for classes 9 to 12 is expected on 21 November 2026 in the evening shift, from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm.

Candidates appearing for more than one level should plan travel and reporting time carefully and wait for the final admit-card instructions.
HTET is the state-level eligibility test for teaching posts in Haryana. Qualifying it is a key step for candidates who wish to apply for teacher recruitment in government schools, because it assesses teaching aptitude along with subject knowledge and pedagogy. Reports also indicate that BSEH will conduct the examination directly this time, rather than through a private agency. The detailed notification and application dates had not yet been published on the official HTET portal when the reports appeared, and the portal was still showing the schedule for the July 2026 examination. Candidates should therefore rely only on bseh.org.in.
