📅 Important Dates (HP TET June 2026)

🎯 Category‑wise Passing Marks (Minimum Qualifying)

Insight: SC/ST/OBC/PHH candidates need 8 marks less than general category, but the relaxation is only in qualifying marks, not in the question paper difficulty. In June 2026, more than 65% of previous qualifiers obtained 85–110 marks, so scoring 82+ is not extremely tough but requires focused preparation on Child Psychology (30 Q) and General Awareness (30 Q). No negative marking means you can attempt all 150 questions safely. The Board does not release any “vacancy” for TET itself; however, HP teacher recruitment (approx 2500‑3500 vacancies per year for TGT/JBT) will use this TET score for shortlisting. PwD (40% disability) gets same 55% relaxation, plus scribe facility with 50 extra minutes.
