HTET TGT Old Sample Question Papers 2021 – HTET TGT Previous Year Question Papers 2021
HTET Level 2 in December 2021 landed at an odd moment — teaching posts were (and still are) scarce relative to the number of applicants, and that December’s TGT paper was the version BSEH actually used to filter that pool. Whatever you think of a three-year-old paper’s relevance, the mechanics haven’t moved: same board, same broad syllabus split, same 150-question format. This page has every 2021 TGT subject paper as a downloadable PDF, matched with its official answer key, plus a plan for using both properly.
What Solving a 2021 Paper Gets You
Reading about the TGT exam pattern is not the same as sitting with it. Working through the actual htet tgt previous year question paper from 2021 shows you the real difficulty curve BSEH sets, section by section — not a coaching guess at it. It also exposes recurring patterns: certain Child Development & Pedagogy theories and Haryana-specific GK facts turn up across multiple cycles in only slightly different wording.
There’s a timing lesson buried in here too. 150 questions in 150 minutes sounds generous until you’re actually inside it, second-guessing an answer with the clock still running. The 2021 paper is a free, realistic rehearsal for that exact situation.
HTET TGT (Level 2) Exam Pattern & Marking Scheme
| Section | Topics Covered | Questions |
|---|---|---|
| Child Development & Pedagogy | Learning theories, inclusive education, classroom management | 30 |
| Language I & II | Hindi and English — grammar, comprehension, language pedagogy | 30 |
| General Studies | Quantitative Aptitude (10), Reasoning Ability (10), Haryana GK (10) | 30 |
| Concerned Subject | The candidate’s chosen TGT subject — see the download table below | 60 |
150 total marks, one mark per correct answer, and zero negative marking — a rule that’s stayed constant across every HTET cycle including 2021. Qualifying score: 90 out of 150 (60%) for General category, 82 out of 150 (55%) for SC and PH candidates of Haryana.

A Practical Way to Use These Papers
Don’t Skip the Timer
A 2.5-hour block, phone away, no pausing. This is the single biggest difference between a paper that actually predicts your exam-day performance and one that just makes you feel prepared.
Start With Your Subject Section
The concerned-subject portion carries 60 of 150 marks — the single largest chunk on the paper. Most candidates think clearest in the first half hour, so it’s worth attacking that section while you’re fresh rather than saving it for last.
Mark It Against the Actual BSEH Key
Use the official 2021 key linked above, not a re-typed version from a coaching app that may have introduced errors along the way. Where your answer disagrees with the key, work out why before moving to the next subject.
Track Patterns Across Attempts
If you solve more than one old paper, keep a simple list of which topics keep costing you marks. That list, not the syllabus PDF, should drive your last few weeks of revision.
Frequently Asked Questions
When was HTET TGT 2021 conducted?
Level 2 (TGT) was held on 19 December 2021, with BSEH releasing the provisional answer key soon after on 20 December 2021.
Is there negative marking on the HTET TGT paper?
No. HTET has never used negative marking at any level, so an educated guess on a question you’re unsure about can only add to your score.
Are the 2021 TGT papers available in Hindi?
Yes, bilingually across every common section, except the dedicated language-subject papers, which are naturally tested in that one language.
Which TGT paper should I solve first?
Start with your own registered subject since it’s worth the most marks (60 of 150), then work through the shared CDP, languages and general studies sections using whichever of the twelve 2021 papers you like.
The syllabus tells you what’s on the exam. This 2021 paper, solved under a real timer and checked against the actual key, tells you how ready you are to sit it. For PRT and PGT from the same cycle, see the HTET Previous Year Question Papers 2021 hub.
