The Haryana Board of School Education (BSEH) concludes the registration process for the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) 2025 today, January 4 . Candidates aiming for teaching positions in Haryana government schools must complete their online applications on the official website,bseh.org.in, by the end of the day. Alongside the closing registration, a critical two-day window for application corrections also opens today.
The HTET examination serves as a mandatory qualification for individuals aspiring to teach in various capacities across Haryana. The pen-and-paper mode exam is scheduled for January 17 and 18, 2026 . This means while registration closes now, candidates have ample time to prepare for the test itself, which is set for early next year.
Application Correction Window
BSEH has designated January 4 and 5 as the period for rectifying errors in submitted HTET 2025 application forms. This allows applicants to make necessary changes to several crucial details. These include ensuring the correct thumb impression, photograph, and signature are uploaded. Candidates can also update their chosen examination level, subject selection for Levels 2 and 3, category, disability status, and home state.
Applicants are strongly advised to utilize this limited two-day window to review all entered information thoroughly. Correcting discrepancies now is essential to avoid potential issues during the admit card release or the examination process itself.
Understanding HTET Levels and Roles
The HTET is structured into three distinct examination levels. Each level qualifies a candidate to teach a specific range of classes within Haryana’s school system. Understanding these levels is fundamental for applicants to choose the appropriate qualification pathway.
- Level 1 (Primary Teacher – PRT): Qualifies candidates to teach students from Class 1 to Class 5.
- Level 2 (Trained Graduate Teacher – TGT): Qualifies candidates to teach students from Class 6 to Class 8.
- Level 3 (Post Graduate Teacher – PGT): Qualifies candidates to teach students from Class 9 to Class 12.

Key Application Guidelines
BSEH has confirmed that an Aadhaar card is not a compulsory document for applying to HTET 2025. This clarification simplifies the application process for many candidates. However, it is mandatory for all applicants to meticulously cross-verify their eligibility against the stated criteria for the specific level(s) they are applying for.
Failure to meet the required qualifications, even after successful application and payment, could result in the cancellation of candidature. Therefore, candidates should ensure full compliance with eligibility norms to avoid future complications in their pursuit of teaching qualifications.
