Haryana's education scene is buzzing with the latest development for aspiring teachers: the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) registration deadline has been extended to November 15, 2024. This extension was announced by the Board of School Education Haryana (BSEH), providing hopeful candidates additional time to apply for this significant certification test, which is pivotal for securing teaching roles within government schools throughout Haryana.
The registration originally started on November 4, 2024, with the initial deadline set for November 14, 2024. The last-minute extension means candidates have one extra day to fill out their applications online at the official BSEH website, bseh.org.in. This is particularly beneficial for those who faced challenges completing their applications before the original deadline.
For candidates who wish to sit for the HTET, it is important to note the eligibility criteria established by the board. Prospective teachers must meet specific educational qualifications depending on the teaching level they are applying for. For Level 1 (Primary Teacher), candidates should have completed their intermediate education along with either a Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed) or Bachelor of Elementary Education (B.El.Ed). Level 2 applicants (Trained Graduate Teachers) need to hold at least a Bachelor’s degree along with either a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) or B.El.Ed. Meanwhile, those aiming for Level 3 (Post Graduate Teachers) must possess a Master's degree with either B.Ed or BA/BSc B.Ed qualifications.
A unique requirement for the registration process is the need for candidates to provide their Aadhaar card number during application. This step serves to verify the identity of applicants and streamline the application process. If any technical issues arise during registration, BSEH has encouraged candidates to reach out via their provided hotline numbers or email for assistance, ensuring support is available for all applicants.
Once registration is complete, candidates will have the opportunity to make necessary corrections to their submitted application forms. This correction window will be open from November 16 to 17, 2024, where candidates can amend details such as their name, date of birth, email ID, and gender, as well as their Aadhaar information. It’s key to note, though, this window is strictly limited, and no changes will be permitted after November 17.
Regarding the examination schedule, the HTET will be conducted on two separate days: December 7 and 8, 2024. The tests will be comprised of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), with no negative marking implemented, which offers candidates some reassurance as they prepare for the exam. Level 3 candidates will take their test on December 7, and Levels 1 and 2 will test the following day on December 8. Admit cards are expected to be available for download about one week prior to the exam dates, allowing candidates to prepare accordingly.
Registering for the HTET is more than just about passing; it opens the door for prospective teachers to apply for various teaching positions across the state. Applicants who successfully pass the test will be awarded a teaching certification, the validity of which has been extended indefinitely. This means once obtained, candidates can utilize this certification to seek teaching employment at any stage of their career, rather than being confined to immediate opportunities.
To apply for the HTET 2024, candidates need to follow these straightforward steps:
- Visit the official website (bseh.org.in).
- Locate the registration link for new applications prominently featured on the homepage.
- Fill out all required personal and educational details accurately.
- Upload the required documents, including your recent photograph, signature, and thumb impression as per the specified format.
- Pay the appropriate registration fee. The fees vary depending on the levels applied for; for one level it’s ₹11,000, for two levels ₹11,800, and for three levels ₹12,400. There are reduced fees of ₹1,500 for SC and physically challenged candidates applying for one level, and ₹1,900 for two levels, which makes the exam more accessible.
- Submit your application and make sure to retain a copy for future reference.
This extended deadline aims to assist as many eligible candidates as possible to secure their place for the HTET, contributing positively to the teaching workforce flexibility required within Haryana’s education system. With preparations ramping up for conducting this significant exam, BSEH’s initiative not only reflects their commitment to education but also eases navigation through bureaucratic processes for future educators.
For the latest updates and more information on the HTET examination process, candidates are advised to frequently check the official BSEH website.
