CTET

Whether you can apply for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) after completing a Nursery Teacher Training (NTT) depends on the specifics of your training programme and the eligibility requirements for the CTET exam you are interested in.

Eligibility for CTET with NTT:

• General CTET Eligibility: To apply for any CTET exam (Paper 1 for Primary Teachers or Paper 2 for Upper Primary Teachers) you must have a bachelor's degree in any discipline from a recognised university or institute.
• NTT Equivalence: Some NTT programs particularly those offered by universities or institutes recognised by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) may be considered equivalent to a bachelors degree in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) or Elementary Education. This can make you eligible for CTET.

Important Note: Simply completing NTT programme without official recognition as an ECCE or Elementary Education degree may not be sufficient for CTET eligibility.
