Candidates from the general category must score a minimum of 60 per cent — 90 marks out of 150 — to be declared qualified.

Those from reserved categories, including OBC, SC, and ST, need a minimum of 55 per cent, or 82 marks.

The candidates need to know that qualifying for the CTET does not guarantee a job.

A passing score gives candidates eligibility for teaching recruitment processes, but does not confer any automatic right to appointment.

Qualified candidates are typically eligible to apply for posts in Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, and other CBSE-affiliated central government schools.

Along with the result, CBSE will release the CTET scorecard containing the candidate’s name, marks obtained, and qualifying status.

Mark sheets and certificates for qualified candidates will be made available through DigiLocker, accessible via login credentials sent to registered mobile numbers.

CTET certificates now carry lifetime validity, meaning candidates who qualify need not reappear to renew their eligibility for teaching appointments.
