Hello,
If you have paid twice for your CTET application form 2024, here's how to seek a refund on one of those payments:
Official CTET Website: You check the official website of CTET for such instructions if any for duplicate payments.
CTET Helpdesk: You would be required to email or call on the helpline number of the CTET. Here's what you need to provide in that email/call- application number, both the transaction details, and a screenshot or photocopy of the payment receipt.
Bank Support: Obtain the contact numbers of both the banks holding the accounts. Mail them with transaction details and ask them to walk you through the refund procedure.
Track the refund status with the CTET board and the banks too. If the board does not do anything, it might be an auto-reversal in your bank account. Keep following both the organizations regularly.
Maintain all the correspondence and payment slips for creating a record of refund.

Hello,
If your college name is not listed in the CTET 2024 form but is shown on the Examination Regulatory Authority site and not on the NCTE site, you can choose the "OTHERS" option in the form.
However, it's important to confirm whether your college is recognized by NCTE, as CTET eligibility requires recognition from NCTE-approved institutions.
After selecting "OTHERS," you may need to provide additional details or clarification in the form. To be certain, it’s a good idea to contact CTET support or your college administration to clarify the eligibility before proceeding.
Hope it helps you !
