CTET

Yes, the CTET 2024 application process has already begun. The application window was open from March 7, 2024, to April 5, 2024. Additionally, the CTET form correction window was available from April 8 to 12, 2024. Candidates eagerly awaiting the exam should stay updated through the official website, ctet.nic.in, for crucial details such as the exam date, eligibility criteria, admit card release, exam pattern, syllabus, answer key, result, and qualifying marks. The 19th edition of the CTET exam is scheduled for July 7, 2024, with a notable change in exam timing, as Paper 1 will be held in Shift 2 (2:00 pm to 4:30 pm) and Paper 2 in Shift 1 (9:30 am to 12 noon).

After clearing the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), candidates must follow specific steps to utilize their qualification effectively. Firstly, they need to download their CTET certificate and mark sheet from the official CBSE website, which is valid for a lifetime. With this certificate, candidates can apply for teaching positions in central government schools like Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas, as well as private schools that accept CTET scores. Applicants must keep an eye on job notifications and submit applications for relevant vacancies. Additionally, they might need to go through further selection procedures, such as interviews or teaching demonstrations, as required by the hiring institutions. Some schools may charge an application fee, which varies but is typically around INR 500 to INR 1000.

The qualifying marks for both Paper 1 and Paper 2 have been set by CBSE, meaning that students belonging to the general category must score 60 percent or more to pass the exam, while candidates in the reserved category must score 55 percent or higher. Different candidate categories will have different CTET 2024 passing scores. The passing scores are 90 out of 150 (60%), for applicants in the general category, and 82 out of 150 (55%), for OBC/SC/ST students. To be qualified for a teaching position, candidates from reserved categories, such SC, ST, etc., must receive at least a 55 percent on the exam. This suggests that the SC and ST CTET passing scores are 82 out of 100. 

Candidates should ideally aim for a score of 90 or higher because it would boost their chances of getting hired as teachers. A strong CTET score can help candidates stand out from the pack in the competitive employment market for teachers. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) administers the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), a national test. Candidates who want to work as teachers in government schools must take this exam. To be eligible for teaching positions, candidates must pass the two papers of the CTET test with a minimum qualifying score. The CTET passing marks for General category candidates are 90 and for SC/ ST/ OBC are 82. Candidates who obtain more than 100 marks in the CTET exam are considered as good scorers. So, 120 is a good CTET score. The CTET exam carries a total 150 marks.

There is no restriction on how many times a candidate may take the CTET exam in terms of tries. As long as they meet the eligibility requirements established by the CBSE, candidates are free to retake the exam as often as necessary until they pass it. The July 2024 exam process for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is being administered by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). In order to take the exam, candidates had to complete the CTET registration process by 2024. Applications are only accepted by the CBSE from individuals who meet the CTET qualifying requirements for 2024. In 2024, candidates had to review the comprehensive eligibility requirements before completing the CTET application form.
