The HTET 2026 admit card lands on 05 June. That gives you roughly one week to print it, verify every detail, and plan your route to one of the 820-plus exam centres across Haryana. Nearly 2.45 lakh candidates will compete for teaching eligibility on 13 and 14 June 2026. If you miss the admit card download window or walk in with a torn printout, no amount of preparation will get you past the gate. This page covers every step: downloading the hall ticket, fixing errors that could lock you out, what to carry, what to leave behind, and the new OMR rule that can cancel your entire attempt mid-exam.
HTET 2026 Exam Schedule at a Glance
BSEH confirmed the final schedule on 25 May 2026. The exam runs over two days, with three levels split across shifts.
Over 2.45 lakh candidates are expected across approximately 820 exam centres. This is the first HTET cycle conducted through a public sector undertaking agency, with enhanced security measures including QR-coded question papers, high-security cameras, and jammers at all centres.
HTET Admit Card 2026: Key Details
Admit cards will not be sent by post under any circumstances. You must download and print your own copy.
How to Download HTET Admit Card 2026
Follow these steps exactly. The portal may experience heavy traffic on the release day. If the page loads slowly, wait a few minutes and retry rather than refreshing aggressively.
- Open bseh.org.in or htet.eapplynow.com on a laptop or desktop browser. Mobile browsers sometimes fail to render the login portal correctly.
- Locate the link labelled "HTET 2026 Admit Card Download" or "Download Hall Ticket for Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test 2026." Click it.
- A login page will appear. Enter your application number / registration number and either your date of birth or the password you created during application.
- Complete the captcha verification.
- Your admit card will display on the screen. Verify all details (see the checklist below) before downloading.
- Download the PDF and save it to your device. Print at least three clear A4 copies. Carry two to the exam centre and leave one at home.
If your admit card does not appear, do not panic. BSEH sometimes releases admit cards in batches. If the issue persists for more than 6-12 hours after the official release announcement, email [email protected] or call +91-9942875178 (working hours: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday).
What to Verify on Your HTET Admit Card
The moment the PDF opens, go through this checklist. Even a single mismatch between your admit card and your original ID proof can delay or block your entry.
- Candidate Name - must match your application form and photo ID exactly. Spelling errors need immediate correction.
- Roll Number - your unique exam identifier. Memorize it; you will write it on the OMR sheet.
- Date of Birth - must match the DOB on your 10th certificate and Aadhaar. Incorrect DOB can fail biometric verification.
- Photograph - must be clear, recent, in colour, and match your appearance. Blurred, black-and-white, or missing photos require urgent reporting.
- Signature - must be visible. If the signature is cut off or absent, report it.
- Thumb Impression - some admit cards include a thumb impression. Verify it is clear.
- Exam Level, Date, and Shift - confirm you are appearing for the correct level (Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3) on the correct day and time slot.
- Reporting Time and Gate Closing Time - note both. Late entry is not permitted.
- Exam Centre Name and Full Address - plan your travel route immediately. If the centre is in another district, arrange transport and, if needed, overnight stay.
- Category and PWD Status - any mismatch can affect your result processing and certificate issuance later.
- QR Code / Barcode - must be scannable. Do not fold, staple, or damage this area.
What to Do If Your HTET Admit Card Has an Error
BSEH has a dedicated correction mechanism for admit card discrepancies. Do not ignore an error hoping the invigilator will overlook it.
Common Errors and Their Fixes
- Wrong name, DOB, gender, category - contact the BSEH special exam cell immediately. Visit Room No. 28 at the Board office in Bhiwani during working hours (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM), or email [email protected]. Carry your confirmation page, 10th certificate, two colour photographs, and fee receipt.
- Missing or blurred photograph/signature/thumb impression - report via helpline. Carry extra passport-size photographs (matching your application photo) to the exam centre.
- Wrong exam centre - exam centre allocation is final. Changes are not permitted once the admit card is issued. No request for a centre change will be entertained.
- Incorrect paper/level - if the admit card shows a different level than the one you applied for, contact BSEH urgently. Do not appear for the wrong paper.
- QR code not scanning - re-download the admit card using a different browser or device. If the issue persists, report it as a technical fault.
According to the official information bulletin, if any discrepancy is noticed in the admit card regarding particulars, photograph, thumb impression, or signature, the candidate must contact the special exam cell of the Board office between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM from the correction window dates onward, along with the confirmation page, 10th/secondary class certificate, two copies of coloured photograph, fee deposit proof, etc., for necessary corrections.
In most cases, candidates are permitted to appear for the exam with the existing admit card while corrections are processed in the background. The Board updates its records for result declaration and certificate issuance. However, major identity mismatches - a completely wrong name or unrecognisable photograph - can result in denial of entry.

Exam Day Guidelines, Reporting Time, and Dress Code
Reporting Time and Biometric Verification
You must reach your exam centre at least 90 minutes before the exam start time. BSEH conducts biometric verification - fingerprint scanning and photo capture - at the entry gate. Candidates who arrive late will not be permitted inside once the gate closes, typically 30 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Dress Code
- Wear light, plain, comfortable clothes. Avoid garments with large buttons, multiple pockets, thick fabric, or heavy embroidery.
- Half-sleeved clothing simplifies entry; full sleeves may require additional frisking.
- Remove all jewellery and metal accessories before leaving home.
- Wear open sandals or slippers. Shoes that cover the toes are not permitted.
- Candidates with long hair must tie it back so that ears remain visible.
- Religious headwear is allowed, but arrive extra early for thorough and respectful inspection.
Inside the Examination Hall
- Sit only in your assigned seat.
- Listen carefully to the invigilator's instructions regarding OMR sheet filling.
- Use only a blue or black ballpoint pen to mark answers.
- Do not communicate with other candidates; even non-verbal gestures can be treated as misconduct.
- You cannot leave the hall during the first and last portions of the exam.
- Follow the start and stop signals precisely. Writing after the stop signal is a rule violation.
HTET 2026: The New OMR Rule You Cannot Ignore
This year, BSEH has introduced a strict OMR rule aimed at curbing malpractice. If a candidate leaves more than 20 questions unanswered on the OMR sheet, the entire examination of that candidate will be cancelled.
The Board chairman confirmed this measure during the 25 May 2026 press conference. It is designed to prevent manipulation where candidates intentionally skip large sections to signal or coordinate with others. Attempt as many questions as you can. With no negative marking, there is no penalty for a wrong answer. Leaving 21 or more blanks carries the risk of outright disqualification.
Security Arrangements for HTET 2026
HTET 2026 is being conducted through a public sector undertaking agency for the first time, with elevated security at all 820-plus centres.
- Each question paper will carry a unique QR code and alpha-numeric identifier. If any paper is leaked or taken outside a centre, BSEH headquarters can immediately trace its source.
- High-security cameras and jammers will be operational at all centres.
- Biometric attendance (fingerprint and photo capture) is mandatory for every candidate.
- Any candidate found using unfair means - including possession of electronic devices, impersonation, or disturbing the examination environment - faces disqualification and may be debarred from future HTET examinations.
