What is CTET Eligibility?

The Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) is a mandatory certification for candidates aspiring to teach in schools like KVS, NVS, and Central Schools. To apply, candidates must meet specific criteria set by the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). Eligibility is primarily divided into two categories: Paper I (for classes 1 to 5) and Paper II (for classes 6 to 8).
