The Haryana Board of School Education (HBSE) has clarified that Aadhaar cards are not mandatory for the Haryana Teacher Eligibility Test (HTET) 2026 registration. While Aadhaar is accepted as an identity proof, applicants can use other government-issued documents like PAN cards, Voter IDs, or Passports to complete the application process. This aligns with Supreme Court directions that permit Aadhaar as one of several identity options, not a compulsory requirement for examinations.
