CBSE Schools
Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVS)
Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVS)
Union Territory Schools

Thanks to a policy change, the CTET certificate now holds lifetime validity, empowering educators to reattempt the exam without restrictions to improve their scores. A minimum of 60% marks is required to pass, with concessions for reserved categories as per institutional policies. Clearing CTET doesn't guarantee a job but fulfills a crucial eligibility criterion for recruitment.
