Overview
The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is a common test conducted to assess the eligibility of a candidate to become a teacher in primary and secondary schools run by the Indian government. It is conducted twice a year - once in July and again in December. The scores obtained by candidates are valid for seven years from the date of declaration of results. The CTET exam consists of two papers: Paper 1 for those who want to teach classes I-V, and Paper 2 for those who wish to teach classes VI-VIII. Both papers consist of multiple choice questions covering areas such as Child Development & Pedagogy, Language I & II, Mathematics, Environmental Studies, Science and Social Studies. To be eligible for selection as teachers, candidates need to secure a minimum of 60% marks in the CTET examination. Those who meet the eligibility criteria are issued certificates stating their eligibility for appointment as teachers. The CTET certification is mandatory for all aspiring teachers wanting to teach primary and secondary school classes in India.
The exam results are declared on CTET's official website within six weeks after the test is conducted. All candidates who have taken the exam can check their scores and qualifying status there. An official mark sheet with details of the candidate’s performance in each section is also made available on the website after the declaration of the result. Such qualified candidates must produce their valid original certificate at any subsequent stages as required by respective recruiting boards or institutions during the recruitment process.
CTET is a great opportunity for those who wish to join the teaching profession in India. It sets an important benchmark and helps ensure high-quality teachers are recruited into the education system. Therefore, it is essential for candidates to prepare thoroughly for this exam in order to make sure they get the best possible score. With dedication and hard work, success is within reach!
