HTET 2014 : To be held in February.

HTET 2014 is expected to be held in the first weekend of February 2014; Most probably on 1st and 2nd date of this month.


For all those youngsters of Haryana, who are keen to apply for teachers eligibility test ( HTET ) and are working hard to clear it in the near future, there is a good news: Education Board of Haryana has decided to conduct Haryana teachers eligibility test within a few months.

Expected HTET Exam Date:


Initially it was suggested to conduct HTET 2014 exam on 18th and 19th of January 2014 but due to expected unfavourable foggy weather conditions in the state during this period, it was proposed to be postponed to another date. Now the working committee has proposed to conduct the exam in the first week of February and most probably the dates will be fixed for the first or second weekend of this month (i.e., either on 1st or 2nd of Feb or 8th and 9th of feb).

Reason for Poor Pass percentage in HTET 2013:


This year, the HTET result was unexpectedly poor. When we tried to find the reason behind it, most of the candidates blamed it to the extremely difficult language section of the question paper. PGT teachers are supposed to know their subject matter perfectly with a fair knowledge of language subjects for communication but what was observed in the HTET 2013-14 Question paper, was opposite of this fact. Passages in both the English and Hindi languages were of above average difficulty and other grammer section was also very difficult, resulting in very poor scoring in these sections. This in total has reduced their overall scoring.

Pass Percentage Data (Statistics) for 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2013:


Pass percentage Data for all the previous years for levels 1, 2 and 3 are as shown in the table below. It can clearly be seen that 2013 is marked with the poorest performance by the candidates. 2011 has the highest pass percentage among all the four htet exams conducted so far.

We all hope that this time in HTET overall pass percentage would be high comparatively. All the best for all the aspiring teachers.
