Hi Monika,

CTET stands for Central Teacher Eligibility Test, is a national level exam conducted by Central Board of Education (CBSE). There are no restrictions in number of attempts.

The eligibility criteria is to be an  Indian, with minimum age limit of 17 years, 50% in senior secondary and at least two years of diploma in elementary education.

However, If you have done minimum of 55% in post graduation with a 3 years integrated BEd-MEd course from any NCTE recognized institution, you are eligible for CTET.

As you scored 48% in PG, so you are not eligible based on this criteria.

However, as there is no upper age limit, if you have scored minimum 50% in senior secondary, I suggest you to complete at least two years diploma course in elementary education. if you are deeply interested in being a teacher.

The paper is held twice a year for appointment as teachers for Classes 1 to 8 in Central Government Schools such as KVS, NVS, etc. There are two papers, PAPER 1 for classes 1 to 5 and PAPER 2 for classes 6 to 8.

Thank you!
