HTET 2026 Syllabus: Complete Level-wise & Subject-wise Syllabus

HTET 2026 Syllabus: Complete Level-wise & Subject-wise Syllabus Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3

The HTET syllabus stays close to the classroom level each paper is meant to test. A Level 1 paper stays inside primary-school concepts, while a Level 3 paper expects postgraduate depth in the candidate’s chosen subject. This page gives the level-wise outline; if you already know your PGT subject, jump straight to the subject-wise page linked below.

Level 1 (PRT) Syllabus: Classes 1 to 5

• Child Development and Pedagogy: child growth and development, learning and pedagogy, inclusive education, and understanding diverse learners.
• Language I and Language II: comprehension passages, grammar, and pedagogy of language teaching.
• Mathematics: basic arithmetic, geometry, and the pedagogy of teaching mathematics to young children.
• Environmental Studies: family and community, plants and animals, and the pedagogy of EVS teaching.

Level 2 (TGT) Syllabus: Classes 6 to 8

• Child Development and Pedagogy: adolescent development, learning theories, and classroom management.
• Language I and Language II: comprehension, grammar, and language pedagogy at an upper-primary level.
• Mathematics and Science, or Social Studies: depending on the subject combination chosen, aligned to the middle-school curriculum.

Level 3 (PGT) Syllabus: Classes 9 to 12

Level 3 tests the candidate’s Master’s-level subject knowledge along with teaching methodology for senior classes. Because the subject-specific portion is large and different for every subject, this site maintains a dedicated syllabus page for each PGT subject rather than trying to cover all of them on one page. Some of these pages are already published; others are being added.

If your subject is not listed above yet, check back, or use the site search, since new subject pages are being added over time. Visit official website for confirmation bseh.org.in.

Should You Study From the Notification Syllabus or a Detailed Topic List?

The official notification gives broad topic headings, not a full chapter-by-chapter list. Use the notification to confirm the headings are unchanged from the previous cycle, then use a detailed subject-wise breakdown, either from this site’s subject pages or your own coaching material, for actual topic-by-topic revision. Relying only on the notification’s short outline usually leaves gaps, since it is written as a summary, not a study plan.

Practicing With Previous Year Papers

Solving previous HTET papers is one of the fastest ways to see which syllabus topics are actually tested most, rather than guessing from the syllabus outline alone. This site has solved previous-year papers for all three levels: PRT, TGT (all 12 subjects), and PGT (all 21 subjects).

Frequently Asked Questions

Has the HTET syllabus changed for the 2026 cycle?

The broad structure has stayed stable across recent cycles. Always check the syllabus section of the current notification for any topic added or dropped before finalising your revision plan.

Do I need to study Child Development and Pedagogy even for a PGT-only application?

Yes, Child Development and Pedagogy along with teaching methodology is part of Level 3 as well, alongside your subject-specific portion, since HTET is testing your readiness to teach, not only your subject knowledge.

Which subject should I choose if I am eligible for more than one PGT subject?

Choose the subject that matches the recruitment posts you actually plan to apply for later, since your HTET PGT certificate is subject-specific and is generally used against matching subject vacancies in recruitment.

Is the Level 2 syllabus different for Mathematics and Science versus Social Studies candidates?

Yes, the fourth section of the Level 2 paper follows the subject combination you select at the time of application, so a Mathematics and Science candidate and a Social Studies candidate answer a different set of questions in that section.
