About CTET

The CTET is a national-level examination conducted in two papers, depending on the level of teaching. Paper 1 is intended for candidates aspiring to teach Classes 1 to 5 (primary level), while Paper 2 is for those aiming to teach Classes 6 to 8 (upper primary level). Applicants can choose to appear for one or both papers based on their eligibility and career objectives.

Under revised norms, the CTET eligibility certificate issued to successful candidates is now valid for a lifetime, according to Hindustan Times. Those who qualify can use their CTET certification to apply for teaching positions in schools.
