Overview
- The CBSE CTET Unit issued a public notice on Monday that fixes the 22nd CTET for December 12 and 13, 2026 and confirms the exam will be computer‑based.
- The board said examination-city details and each candidate’s allotted date will be published on the official CTET portal 15 days before the test.
- Admit cards will be available for download two days before each exam and will list the candidate’s centre and other entry requirements.
- Both papers will follow the standard CTET pattern of 150 multiple-choice questions, 150 marks, 2 hours 30 minutes per paper, and no negative marking.
- The postponement follows a Supreme Court judgment on mandatory TET qualifications and will affect candidate preparation timelines and hiring schedules for schools that use CTET for teacher eligibility.
