Result and Certificate Details
The HTET qualifying certificate is valid for a lifetime from the date of issuance for all levels. There is no restriction on the number of attempts. Candidates who have already qualified HTET may appear again to improve their score.
Candidates declared qualified will be awarded a certificate by the Board of School Education Haryana, Bhiwani. Separate certificates are issued to candidates who qualify in more than one level. Qualifying HTET does not itself confer a right to appointment; final eligibility is verified by the appointing authority according to the applicable service rules.
The result is declared after comparison and verification of the IRIS biometric database. Candidates required to complete biometric verification are provided three opportunities. If a candidate remains absent in all three opportunities and reports later, biometric verification may be conducted after payment of the prescribed ₹10,000 fee. The relevant period remains valid for one year from the date of result declaration.
