The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has yet to release the detailed notification for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) 2025. The CTET comprises two papers tailored to different teaching levels. Paper I is designed for candidates aspiring to teach at the primary stage (Classes 1 to 5), assessing their ability to meet the educational needs of young learners.
Paper II targets those intending to teach at the upper primary stage (Classes 6 to 8), evaluating their skills in handling the academic and developmental needs of students in these grades.
Eligibility for teaching across all levels
Candidates aiming to teach across Classes 1 to 8 must qualify in both Paper I and Paper II of the CTET. Successfully clearing both papers grants an eligibility certificate, enabling candidates to teach at both primary and upper primary levels, thus expanding their professional opportunities.
Purpose of CTET
The CTET is a national-level examination conducted by CBSE to establish the minimum eligibility for teaching in central government schools, such as Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVS), for Classes 1 to 8.
Historically, the exam has been held twice a year, in July and December sessions, to ensure a high standard of teaching quality in affiliated institutions.
