Questions related to CTET

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CTET ?

If you cleared CTET in 2018 under the OBC-NCL category, that certificate remains valid for eligibility as long as CTET validity rules allow it. However, for KVS PRT recruitment, your category is decided based on your current OBC-NCL status, not the one you had in 2018. Since you mentioned that in 2025 you no longer fall under OBC-NCL due to your father’s income, you will be treated as a General category candidate for KVS recruitment. You can still apply for the PRT post, but you must apply under the General category and will not get OBC-NCL reservation benefits. The CTET certificate is still usable; only the reservation category will change as per your present income and eligibility. All the best!

Hello,

Your form will likely not be rejected if you can correct the error during the correction window, which CTET has provided in the past. If you miss the correction window, your form may not be rejected, as the institute PIN code is a detail that is less critical than your name or marks. You can also mention the error at the time of document verification.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

If you are from Assam but staying in another state, you can still choose an exam city near your current location. CTET allows students to select exam centres based on where they are living at the moment, not only their home state.

If the exam-city option is not showing this year, it usually happens for these reasons:

  • The system may show only those cities that still have seats left. If seats are full, the city disappears from the list.

  • The website may show cities based on the present address you entered in the form.

  • Sometimes the portal has a temporary technical issue.

What you can do:

  1. Check your address details in the form to make sure they are correct.

  2. Try again after some time, as the portal may load the options later.

  3. If the city list still does not appear, you should contact CTET support and report the issue with your registration number.

This is a common problem during peak time, and usually it gets fixed once the portal becomes stable.

Hope it helps !
