The Board of School Education, Haryana (BSEH) has released the HTET Final Answer Key 2026 on 5 August 2026 on the official HTET portal htet.eapplynow.com and the BSEH website bseh.org.in. The final answer key has been published for all three levels – Level 1 (PRT – Primary Teacher), Level 2 (TGT – Trained Graduate Teacher) and Level 3 (PGT – Post Graduate Teacher) – and for all four question paper sets (Set A, B, C and D). The Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) 2026 was conducted on 4 and 5 July 2026 across 383 exam centres with 2,33,294 candidates appearing. The Provisional Answer Key was released on 6 July 2026, and the objection window was open from 6 to 9 July 2026 at Rs. 100 per objection. The Final Answer Key reflects BSEH’s decision on all objections received. Candidates can now use the Final Answer Key to calculate their expected score and assess their chances ahead of the HTET Result 2026, which is also now accessible on the result portal.
Important Note: Three things every HTET 2026 candidate must understand about the Final Answer Key. First, the Final Answer Key is authoritative and supersedes the Provisional Answer Key – any question that was dropped, corrected or modified after objection processing will be reflected in this final version. Candidates whose objections were accepted will find those questions either corrected or deleted in the final key. Second, there is no negative marking in HTET 2026 – your expected score is simply the number of questions you answered correctly, with each correct answer carrying 1 mark out of 150. Third, the HTET certificate carries lifetime validity – candidates who qualify once do not need to reappear. HTET 2026 qualification will therefore remain valid for all Haryana government teacher recruitment processes that use HTET as a mandatory eligibility criterion, with no re-examination required.

How to Calculate Your Expected HTET Score
Since there is no negative marking, your expected score is calculated as follows:
HTET Score = Number of Correct Answers x 1
Example: If you have 95 correct answers, your expected score is 95 out of 150, which qualifies under the General category (90 marks required).
Steps to calculate:
- Download the Final Answer Key PDF for your level and paper set.
- Compare each answer in the key against your question paper.
- Count the number of correct matches.
- Your total = number of correct answers (since no negative marking).
