Teaching & Education Entrance Exam

Yes, B.Com (Bachelor of Commerce) graduates can apply for the *Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET)* exam, but only under certain conditions. The CTET is conducted by the *Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)* to determine the eligibility of candidates for teaching positions in central government schools (like KVS, NVS, etc.). To be eligible for the CTET exam, candidates must fulfill specific educational qualifications depending on the teaching level they are applying for: 1. *For Primary Stage (Classes I to V)*:     A candidate needs to have at least:   - *50% marks* in *Senior Secondary* (10+2) or its equivalent with a two-year *Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed.)*.   - OR, a *Bachelor's degree (B.Com)* with a *two-year Diploma in Elementary Education*. 2. *For Upper Primary Stage (Classes VI to VIII)*:     A candidate needs to have:   - *50% marks* in *graduation (B.Com)* and must have completed or be in the final year of a *two-year Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed.)*.   - Alternatively, candidates with a *Bachelor's degree (B.Com)* and a *B.Ed (Bachelor of Education)* degree are eligible to apply for teaching positions for upper primary classes. In summary, while a B.Com graduate can appear for the CTET exam, they need to ensure that they meet the specific educational qualifications, such as a D.El.Ed or B.Ed, depending on the level of teaching they wish to apply for.
