Course Objective

Teacher eligibility test is a gateway to bring uniformity in the standard of teachers appointed to provide quality education to students in school. This was for the first time started in 2011 by the central government in the form of CTET as a mandatory requirement for anyone willing to teach in Center aided schools. Thereafter the states have started conducting the examination for state aided schools. Some of the private schools have also started considering Teacher Eligibility Test as a major eligibility criterion in the recruitment process. CTET clearance is compulsory for candidates who wish to teach in Central schools of India. However, clearing the exam doesnot guarantee a teaching job. There are many other factors on which appointment is dependent. CTET is conducted twice a year.
