PSTET

Punjab State Teacher Eligibility Test (PSTET) is a state-level exam conducted by the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) to determine the eligibility of candidates for Primary (Classes 1 to 5) and Upper Primary (Classes 6-8) level teachers in the schools of Punjab. The PSTET exam is conducted in two shifts for two papers - Paper 1 and 2. PSTET Paper 1 is conducted for candidates who want to become Classes 1-5 teachers and Paper 2 is for candidates who want to become teachers of Classes 6-8. Candidates who want to become Classes 1-8 teachers need to appear for both papers.

The difficulty level of the PSTET exam depends on the preparation of the candidate. It is generally considered as moderately challenging.

Clearing the PSTET (Punjab Teacher Eligibility Test) exam makes you eligible to become teachers in primary and upper primary schools in the state of Punjab. However, it does not guarantee teaching job.

To qualify the PSTET, candidates are required to get the minimum qualifying marks set by the conducting authority.

For General Category Candidates
Minimum 60% marks to qualify.

For Reserved Category Candidates (SC/ST/OBC/PH)
There is a relaxation of 5% for reserved category candidates, so they need to score a minimum of 55% marks to qualify.
