CTET September 2026 Exam Date Changed; Revised Schedule Expected Soon
CTET September 2026 exam, earlier scheduled for September 6, has been postponed. Candidates are advised to await confirmation from CBSE regarding revised CTET September exam date 2026.
CTET September 2026 Revised Schedule
CTET September Exam Date 2026: Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had earlier announced that 22nd edition of CTET would be conducted on September 6, with Paper II in morning shift and Paper I in afternoon shift. However, CTET September 2026 exam was postponed from its originally scheduled date. As per latest media reports, CTET is now expected to be conducted on October 9, 2026.
However, candidates should note that revised CTET exam date 2026 should be treated as tentative until CBSE publishes official revised examination schedule on official website. Recent reports have indicated October 9 as new CTET 2026 exam date but there has been no confirmation from any officials or CBSE.
CTET 2026 Revised Exam Date
September session of CTET was initially scheduled for September 6. Tentative revised CTET exam date has been circulating online but candidates should not consider it final until CBSE issues an official notice. Official CTET website currently hosts September 2026 information bulletin and public notices, and they are advised to rely on these updates rather than social media posts or unofficial schedules.
CTET Revised Admit Card and City Slip 2026
With CTET exam date postponed, the schedule for city intimation slip and admit card is also expected to change. Candidates should regularly check official portal for announcements related to exam centre, city allotment and admit card. Original CTET notification stated that admit cards would be made available two days before exam.
Candidates who have already completed their CTET September 2026 registration do not need to submit a fresh application. They should instead keep their application details safe and follow CBSE's instructions. CBSE had initially opened CTET September 2026 applications from May 11 to June 10.
