CBSE Postpones CTET Exam to December 2026

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a significant change to its examination calendar, with the 22nd Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) now scheduled for December 12 and 13, 2026. The postponement marks a shift from the board's earlier plan to conduct the high-stakes teaching qualification exam in September.

The CTET is a national-level examination that assesses the eligibility of candidates aspiring to become teachers at the primary and upper primary levels across India. The test serves as a qualifying credential for recruitment to government schools and is also recognized by several private educational institutions.

Candidates preparing for the examination are advised to note the revised dates and plan their preparation accordingly. The postponement provides additional time for aspirants to strengthen their subject knowledge and test-taking skills before appearing for the examination.

Further details regarding the application window, admit card issuance, and other procedural aspects of the 22nd CTET are expected to be announced by CBSE in due course. Interested candidates are urged to monitor the official CBSE website for updates and notifications related to the examination.
