CTET 2026 Exam in December? Latest Notice Creates Speculation
It must be noted that file number is mentioned in CBSE's latest notice. The public notice issued on September 7 carries file number “F.No.: CBSE/CTET/December-2026”. This reference has led to speculation that CTET 2026 exam could now be held in December 2026, instead of earlier September schedule.
However, candidates should note CBSE has not yet officially announced CTET December 2026 exam date. Therefore, the reference to “December-2026” is an indication rather than confirmation of examination schedule. Official CTET website continues to list current cycle as CTET SEP 2026, including September 2026 information bulletin and correction notice.
Why Was CTET 2026 Schedule Changed?
CTET schedule has been affected amid developments concerning the requirement of the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) for teachers. The Supreme Court's September 2025 judgment dealt with mandatory TET qualification for teachers and laid down directions concerning in-service teachers as well as those seeking appointment or promotion. Following this, CBSE provided eligible candidates with another opportunity to apply for CTET 2026 examination. The board's August 25 notice extended the application opportunity until September 1.
