Below is the official syllabus in full: sixty marks of core Urdu language, literature and teaching methodology, the ninety marks of common papers shared across every Level-2 subject, and the exam pattern notified for 2026.

How to Prepare for the HTET TGT Urdu Syllabus 2026

Questions in Level-2 are set on the topics prescribed by the Board of School Education Haryana for classes VI to X, but their difficulty and conceptual linkages can extend up to the senior secondary stage. Plan accordingly.

• Start with the BSEH/NCERT textbooks of classes VI–X for Urdu and build your notes chapter-wise before touching any guidebook.
• Do not treat the common block as secondary - it is the most predictable part of the paper.
• Revise Haryana G.K. and current affairs weekly; this is the section most candidates leave until it is too late.
• Full-length timed practice is what builds exam pace.
• Solve previous year HTET Level-2 Urdu papers to understand the question style and the recurring topics.
• Pedagogy is easy to postpone and easy to score on; prepare it early.
