The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) September 2026 registration window has opened on the official portal, ctet.nic.in. Aspiring teachers across India seeking eligibility to teach in classes I–VIII can now submit their applications online.
CTET qualification is a mandatory requirement for teaching positions in central government schools, including Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas, and is also recognized by several state governments for teacher recruitment. The test is conducted in two papers — Paper I for candidates aiming to teach classes I–V, and Paper II for those aiming to teach classes VI–VIII.
Candidates are advised to keep required documents, photographs, and signatures ready in the specified format before beginning the online application process, and to regularly check the official website for updates on the correction window, admit card release, and exam date announcements.
With teacher recruitment drives ongoing in multiple states, CTET certification remains a key stepping stone for lakhs of aspirants each cycle. Timely registration ensures candidates don't miss the application deadline or subsequent correction window.
