HTET 2026 Exam Date – Check Level 1, Level 2 & Level 3 Exam Schedule
The exam date is usually the first thing candidates check, and the answer for HTET 2026 is not a single date. BSEH has scheduled the written exam across two days because Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 cannot all be conducted at the same centre on the same day.
HTET 2026 Exam Date: Quick Answer
The HTET November 2026 cycle is expected to be held on 21 and 22 November 2026. This date comes from the notification schedule reported after BSEH’s September 2026 announcement, and it should still be treated as provisional until the board publishes the final notification, since bseh.org.in has been under maintenance while this page was written.
| Level | Exam Date | Reported Shift |
|---|---|---|
| Level 3 (PGT) | 21 November 2026 (Expected) | Evening, 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM |
| Level 2 (TGT) | 22 November 2026 (Expected) | Morning, 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM |
| Level 1 (PRT) | 22 November 2026 (Expected) Please verify with official notification | Evening, 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM |
Each shift runs for two hours thirty minutes, matching the 150-question, 150-mark pattern used at every level. If you are registered for two or three levels, check your admit card carefully. Because PGT and PRT share the same evening slot on different days, a candidate appearing for both levels needs two separate admit cards and two separate exam days, not one combined sitting.
Why Did the Exam Date Change This Year?
HTET has not run on a fixed annual calendar the way some other state TETs do. BSEH conducted one HTET cycle earlier in 2026, with its result declared by August 2026, and then opened a fresh, separate cycle in September 2026 for a November exam. If you sat for the earlier 2026 cycle, this November exam is a new opportunity, not a retest of the same cycle, and your earlier scorecard and this one will be recorded separately.
What to Do Once the Exam Date Is Confirmed
- Mark the date in your calendar and plan any travel to your exam city in advance, since Haryana sees heavy demand for transport and accommodation right before HTET.
- Download the admit card as soon as it is released, generally about four days before the exam. Details are in our HTET 2026 Admit Card guide.
- Recheck your exam city and shift on the admit card itself. The notification gives a general schedule, but your personal admit card is the final word on your date, time, and centre.
How the Exam Date Affects Your Preparation Plan
Once BSEH confirms which level falls on which date, work backward from that date rather than following a generic revision calendar. A candidate appearing only for Level 2 on 22 November has roughly the same number of preparation days as a candidate appearing only for Level 3 on 21 November, but a candidate appearing for both levels loses a full day of rest between two exams, which is worth planning around rather than discovering on exam week.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 21-22 November 2026 the final and confirmed exam date?
Treat it as the currently reported date based on the September 2026 notification cycle. BSEH can still revise it through a corrigendum, so confirm on bseh.org.in or your admit card closer to the exam.
Can the exam date differ by exam centre or city?
No. The exam date and shift are the same across all centres for a given level; only the exact address and reporting instructions differ by centre.
What happens if I have exams for two levels on the same day?
Based on the reported schedule, Level 1 and Level 3 both fall on evening shifts but on different days (21 and 22 November), so a direct same-day clash is not expected this cycle. Always verify shift timings on your own admit card once issued.
Will there be a separate date for candidates who miss this exam?
BSEH does not usually offer a separate makeup date for candidates who miss a scheduled shift. The next opportunity would be the following HTET cycle whenever BSEH notifies it.
