CTET

Candidates should ideally aim for a score of 90 or higher because it would boost their chances of getting hired as teachers. A strong CTET score can help candidates stand out from the pack in the competitive employment market for teachers. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) administers the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), a national test. Candidates who want to work as teachers in government schools must take this exam. To be eligible for teaching positions, candidates must pass the two papers of the CTET test with a minimum qualifying score. The CTET passing marks for General category candidates are 90 and for SC/ ST/ OBC are 82. Candidates who obtain more than 100 marks in the CTET exam are considered as good scorers. So, 120 is a good CTET score. The CTET exam carries a total 150 marks.

There is no restriction on how many times a candidate may take the CTET exam in terms of tries. As long as they meet the eligibility requirements established by the CBSE, candidates are free to retake the exam as often as necessary until they pass it. The July 2024 exam process for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is being administered by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). In order to take the exam, candidates had to complete the CTET registration process by 2024. Applications are only accepted by the CBSE from individuals who meet the CTET qualifying requirements for 2024. In 2024, candidates had to review the comprehensive eligibility requirements before completing the CTET application form.

CTET answer key is a very important document that helps candidates predict the score that they can secure in the exam. The CTET OMR sheet of candidates is released along with the provisional answer key. Candidates can go through the official answer key and their OMR sheet to tally the correct answers and mark themselves for the correct answers.

To guesstimate the expected scores in the CTET exam, candidates should know the marking scheme. The CTET marking scheme is such that one mark is allotted for every correct answer and there is no negative marking for an incorrect answer in the exam.
