With the Central Teacher Eligibility Test on Sunday, September 6, 2026, candidates should expect the e-admit card on Friday, September 4, following the “Two Days before the day of examination” rule. Download only from ctet.nic.in, and keep your application number ready. Avoid third‑party links.
CBSE’s portal shows the September application window extended till September 1, so the official website remains the first place for any fresh link. Watch the Latest News section for the admit card and city slip notices before visiting centres. Do not rely on social forwards.

Once live, open ctet.nic.in, tap the e‑Admit Card link, and log in using your application number, date of birth, and the security pin. Verify name, photo, signature, paper, and city. If anything looks wrong, “immediately contact CTET Unit for necessary corrections.” Save and print two copies.
City slips, when activated, appear on the CTET home page under Latest News, using the same login details. Several education desks are tracking the link, but rely on ctet.nic.in for authenticity and timing. Bookmark the page and refresh periodically to avoid missing your centre update.
Plan for early reporting and strict gate closure. For Paper II, reach by 7:30 am; last entry is 9:30 am. For Paper I, reach by 12:30 pm; last entry is 2:30 pm. Keep buffer for traffic and security checks; late candidates are not allowed.
| Paper | Entry | Last entry | Exam time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paper II | 7:30 am | 9:30 am | 9:30 am–12:00 noon |
| Paper I | 12:30 pm | 2:30 pm | 2:30 pm–5:00 pm |
Carry your admit card and a government photo ID that matches it. Bring your own blue or black ball‑point pen; “Use of pencil is strictly prohibited.” Phones, watches, Bluetooth devices, calculators, and bags are barred. Darken one circle cleanly; do not change answers or fold the OMR.
Persons with benchmark disabilities get a 50‑minute compensatory time and a centre‑provided scribe, whose qualification is one class lower, at least matriculate. Meet your scribe one hour before the exam for a brief interaction. For corrections or support, contact 011‑24050477 or [email protected].
Action points: Check ctet.nic.in on September 4 for the admit card, confirm city and shift, and read instructions carefully. Reach early on September 6 with ID, admit card, and pens. Follow OMR rules to avoid rejection, and use the helpline if any mismatch appears. Stay calm and exam‑ready.
