The Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) will be conducted in two shifts, namely Shift 1 and Shift 2. The timings for the first shift are from 9:30 AM to 12:00 noon, while the second shift will take place from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM. The CTET exam paper consists entirely of multiple-choice questions (MCQs), where each question offers four possible answers. Candidates must choose the correct option among the given choices.
CTET 2023 admit card will be released soon. Candidates who have enrolled for the teacher eligibility exam must print out their hall ticket from the website and bring it along with them to the exam centre on the day of the test. Those without the admit card will not be allowed to enter the exam hall.
The primary objective of the CTET exam is to assess the eligibility and suitability of candidates for teaching positions in primary and secondary schools. The exam is divided into two papers, namely Paper 1 and Paper 2. Candidates who aspire to teach students from Classes 1 to 5 are required to appear for the Paper 1 exam. This paper focuses on assessing their knowledge and skills related to teaching in the primary stage.
On the other hand, candidates who aim to teach students in grades 6 through 8 need to appear for the Paper 2 exam. This paper is designed to evaluate their proficiency and understanding of teaching at the upper primary level. Candidates have the option to choose either Paper 1 or Paper 2 based on the grade levels they wish to teach. However, they also have the flexibility to appear for both papers if they are eligible and wish to qualify for teaching positions across multiple grade levels.
