CTET September 2026: Application Window Reopens Till September 1
CTET September 2026 application window reopens; extended deadline ends September 1, following Supreme Court ruling on mandatory TET qualification.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reopened the application window for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) scheduled for September 2026. Candidates can now submit their applications until September 1, 2026, as per the revised schedule.
The decision to extend the deadline comes in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that made the Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) qualification mandatory for eligible teachers. The reopening of the application portal provides an opportunity for candidates who may have missed the earlier deadline to apply for the examination.
Interested candidates are advised to complete their registration and fee payment before the extended deadline. The official notice specifies that no further extensions will be granted beyond September 1.
Applicants should visit the official CTET website to access the direct application link and complete the necessary formalities. It is recommended that candidates review all eligibility criteria and instructions carefully before submitting their applications.
The CTET is a national-level examination conducted to determine the eligibility of candidates for teaching positions in schools affiliated with the central government, including Kendriya Vidyalayas and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas. The September 2026 session will follow the standard examination pattern and syllabus as prescribed by CBSE.
