Teacher eligibility exams scheduled for late 2026

Upcoming teacher eligibility examinations are scheduled for late 2026. The Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) is expected to be held on November 21 and 22, 2026, for Level-1 (Primary), Level-2 (TGT), and Level-3 (PGT) candidates. The Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH) may introduce changes to the OMR-based testing system, potentially including a second sheet as a carbon copy and a fifth “NOTA” option.

Separately, the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2026 application window is set to close on September 1, 2026. The exam, administered by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), consists of two papers with 150 multiple-choice questions each. Eligibility requirements vary between Paper 1 and Paper 2 based on educational qualifications such as Class 12 diplomas or graduation degrees.
