CTET September 2026: Important dates

Candidates are advised to carefully read the eligibility conditions, educational qualifications, and examination instructions mentioned in the official information bulletin before submitting their applications.

The board has also provided a correction facility for candidates who wish to make changes to their submitted application forms. Corrections in uploaded particulars will be allowed between June 15 and June 18, 2026. Admit cards will be released approximately two days before the examination date.

CTET is conducted for candidates seeking eligibility to teach in central government schools, including Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, and other schools accepting CTET scores. The examination will be held in 27 languages across 132 cities throughout the country.

Paper I is meant for candidates aspiring to teach Classes 1 to 5, while Paper II is for those intending to teach Classes 6 to 8. Candidates wishing to teach Classes 1 to 8 can appear for both papers.

As per CBSE guidelines, candidates scoring 60 per cent or more marks in the examination will be considered CTET qualified. However, qualifying for the CTET alone does not guarantee recruitment, as it remains one of the eligibility conditions for teacher appointments.
