What Is CTET and Why Is It Important?
The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is a national-level examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for aspiring teachers. Successfully qualifying CTET is a mandatory eligibility criterion for appointment as a teacher in government and many private schools across India for Classes I to VIII.
CTET is conducted twice a year — typically in February and September/October. The February 2026 session will be the 21st edition of this exam and is expected to draw record participation from teaching aspirants.

Why the Correction Window Matters
During the initial application process, candidates may have inadvertently entered incorrect personal details, chosen the wrong paper or subject, or made other mistakes that could affect their eligibility. To ensure the accuracy of the application form — and to prevent issues at later stages such as admit card generation — CBSE has provided a dedicated correction window.
This is a one-time opportunity to fix critical details before the exam, so candidates are strongly advised to review their applications carefully.
Details You Can Correct Online
Candidates can make corrections to the following details through the correction window:
- Name of the candidate
- Father’s name and Mother’s name
- Date of Birth
- Category (General/OBC/SC/ST/EWS)
- Differently Abled (PwD) status
- Paper opted for (Paper I or Paper II subject to availability)
- Subject opted for Paper II
- Language I and Language II choices
- Address for correspondence
- Educational institution, College/University name for B.Ed or Diploma
⚠️ Note: Certain details such as email address or mobile number may not be editable depending on the rules specified by CBSE. Candidates should check the options available in their login carefully.

Important Tips Before You Submit Changes

✔ Keep a hard copy of the corrected application and confirmation page.
✔ Ensure your name and date of birth exactly match your government ID, as these details are crucial for the admit card and result.
✔ Review your paper and subject choices carefully — changes here can impact which exam you’ll appear for.
Exam Pattern & What to Expect on February 8
While the correction window focuses on application details, candidates should also begin final preparations for the exam. The CTET exam is conducted in two papers:
- Paper I: For candidates aspiring to teach Classes I to V
- Paper II: For candidates aspiring to teach Classes VI to VIII
Both papers contain multiple-choice questions (MCQs) covering child development and pedagogy, language, mathematics, environmental studies (for Paper I), and subject knowledge (for Paper II).
Understanding the full exam pattern and syllabus is critical for success and can be found in the official Information Bulletin PDF linked above.
Admit Card, Result & Certificate
- The admit card for CTET is expected to be released two days before the exam — typically in early February 2026.
- After the exam, the CTET result will be declared tentatively by the end of March 2026.
- Those who score the minimum qualifying marks will receive a CTET eligibility certificate, which is valid for lifetime.
