What Happens Next?

If you have qualified, here's what you should do:

  • Apply for teaching vacancies — Look out for KVS, NVS, DSSSB, Army Public School, and state-level teacher recruitment notifications that accept CTET scores.
  • Download your certificate — The CTET qualifying certificate will be available for download from the official website or via DigiLocker. Keep it safe.
  • No re-exam needed — Your CTET certificate is now valid for life. You do not need to retake the exam.
💡
Note: CTET qualification alone does not guarantee a teaching job. You still need to apply and clear the recruitment process conducted by the respective hiring body (KVS, NVS, state government, etc.).

If you did not qualify this time, don't be discouraged — CTET is conducted twice a year, and there is no limit on the number of attempts. You can appear again in the next cycle to improve your score.
