Eligibility Criteria
CTET is an eligibility test for teaching positions. The core eligibility to pass the exam is based on securing the minimum qualifying marks:
- General Category: Requires 90 marks out of 150 to qualify.
- Reserved Categories (SC/ST/OBC): Require 82 marks out of 150 to qualify.
It is crucial to understand that passing CTET confers eligibility to apply for teacher recruitment in government schools (like KVS, NVS) and private schools. It does not guarantee a job. Securing a government teaching position requires passing the subsequent main selection examination and interview conducted by the relevant recruitment bodies.
"Key Point: Validity of CTET Certificate"
A significant advantage for qualified candidates is that the CTET certificate now has a lifetime validity. Once you pass the exam, you do not need to retake it for future job applications.
