But first, the big question on everyone’s mind, what is CTET?
What is CTET?
Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is a benchmark test, being organized by CBSE at national level so as to find the right teachers for teaching from Class-I to Class-VIII. It is being held in 98 cities/towns covering all Indian states as well as in two centres abroad (Dubai and Riyadh). You can click here to download the list of city/town where CTET Sep 2014 would be held.
CTET has been started as an offshoot of Right To Education (RTE) Act, 2009 for implementation of which a huge number of teachers is required. Passing the CTET would enable you to get a job in Central schools (Kendriya Vidyalaya as well as Navodaya Vidyalaya) as well as some state govt. and private schools which accepts CTET scores for selecting teachers.
So if you are a B.Sc/B.A/B.Com graduate and would like to take up a teaching job at School level, CTET is for you. CTET is valid for 7 years.
