HTET 2025: AI-based cameras to monitor exam centres in real-time, ensuring fair, transparent, and cheat-free conduct with instant alerts on suspicious activity

The Haryana Board of School Education is all set to conduct the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) 2025 across the state on July 30 and 31. Following the conclusion of the CET, the two-day examination for aspiring teachers will be held at 22 district headquarters and two sub-divisional centres, Bahadurgarh and Mahendragarh.

Board Secretary Munish Nagpal confirmed that all preparations have been finalised for HTET. This year, over 4.05 lakh candidates will appear for the exam at 1,352 centres spread across the state.

Exam Schedule

Level-1 (PRT): To be held on July 30 from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM. Approximately 1,20,245 candidates will appear at 399 exam centres.

Level-2 (TGT): Scheduled for July 31 from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM, with more than 2,01,518 candidates across 673 centres.

Level-3 (PGT): Also on July 31 from 3:00 PM to 5:30 PM, where 82,917 candidates will sit the exam at 280 centres.

AI-Powered Surveillance

To ensure fairness and transparency, the Board has introduced Artificial Intelligence-based monitoring for the first time. AI cameras have been installed at every examination centre, all connected to a centralised control room at the Board office. These cameras are designed to detect any suspicious activity in real-time, enabling swift action if needed.

Entry Guidelines

• Candidates must reach the examination centres at least 2 hours and 10 minutes before the exam begins.
• Female candidates will only be allowed to wear Mangalsutra, Sindoorand bindi.
• Sikh and Christian candidates will be permitted to wear their religious symbols.
• Items such as chains, rings, bracelets, threads, belts, watches, purses, or any kind of electronic device are strictly prohibited.

With more than four lakh aspiring teachers taking the exam, ensuring its peaceful and transparent conduct is a significant challenge, and a test in itself, for the Education Board.
