What is CTET
-
CTET stands for Central Teacher Eligibility Test.
-
It is a national-level exam conducted by CBSE to determine eligibility of candidates to be appointed as teachers for Classes 1 to 8 in central / government-aided / recognised schools.
-
Qualifying CTET is often a mandatory requirement for recruitment in many schools (like central government schools, Kendriya/NVS etc.), though CTET itself doesn’t guarantee a job.
Papers & Whom They Are For
-
Paper I — For those who wish to teach Classes 1 to 5 (Primary)
-
Paper II — For those aiming to teach Classes 6 to 8 (Upper Primary / Elementary)
-
If a candidate wants to be eligible for teaching classes 1–8, they may appear for both papers (if eligible).

Who Is Eligible (as of 2025–26)
- Eligibility varies depending on which Paper (level) you apply for. Basic conditions: Indian nationality, meeting educational qualification & minimum age (17 years).
Note: Clearing CTET gives eligibility to apply for teacher posts — job depends on recruitment by schools/employers
Why CTET Matters
-
CTET ensures a minimum standard of teacher quality, assessing subject knowledge, pedagogy and understanding of child development.
-
Many central / government / private schools recognise CTET certificate — so qualifying increases your chances of being eligible for teaching jobs in classes 1-8 across India.
