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!

Don't Make These 7 Mistakes of CTET Exam
Don’t Be Late
It will be clearly specified in the CTET admit card 2024 that it is mandatory for applicants to enter the examination centre at least 90 minutes before the start of the examination. To reach the CTET exam centre on time is crucial, it will help you to relax and calm down from the stress of the test. The exam centre sometimes does not allow late arrivals to reach the venue of the exam. So it's important to avoid these implications. If your test centre is in some other area, you must arrive there a day before the CTET inspection date to get an idea of the location and availability of the car.
Don’t Forget Important Documents
A hard copy of the CTET admit card 2024 and the other documents must be carried to the CTET exam centre. As specified in the official CTET notification, along with the admit card, photo identification such as PAN Card, Voter ID, Aadhar Card and others must be carried. If you assemble all the documents a day before the examination, it will be simpler. Do not take the risk to print out the admit card on the day of the examination. Please ensure the photograph of the passport size must be with you. You must apply the same photograph to the admit card that you submitted during the registration process.
Never Lose Patience while Reading Question Paper
The biggest mistake most students make in the exam hall is to read all the questions in one go. If you encounter tough questions, this will make you more anxious. When reading a CTET question paper, never rush to read the question. Read carefully and try to understand what answers you need to give. It can take a little more time to read questions correctly, but this will help you give more detailed answers. Attempt all the questions, as there will be no negative marking.
Don’t Get Stuck with Tricky Ones
Among the teaching sector recruitment exams, CTET is one of the tough exams. In every segment, there are a few tricky problems to test the presence of mind in the examination hall. So it's important not to get stuck with any tough question, it's actually time-consuming with these questions.

The examination authority is providing 3 hours for each paper in the CTET exam 2024. Use that time wisely and solve the easy and understandable questions on a priority basis. Candidates are advised to solve sample papers in the same time limit during their preparation. In the examination hall, this will benefit you. Manage the time in a way that gives you some additional time to analyse what you have tried and what corrections you might make.
Avoid Panic
This is the most important thing in the examination hall to keep in mind. One of the biggest errors that students make in the examination hall is that they start panicking if they don't know the answers. Don't do that. You're going to feel more depressed. Before and during the test, keeping yourself calm is important. If you sense fear or nervousness, drink water. This is going to help keep you calm. Believe in preparedness.

Questions related to CTET
On Question asked by student community
Have a question related to CTET ?
Hello,
The Institute code simply means that it's a postal code of the college you pursued your B.Ed or Teacher training degree.
Don't mention your college code. It is certainly different from the mentioned postal code.
You can find them on the marksheet, college website Transfer Certificate or Bonafide.
Hope it helps with your query.
Hello,
To check your CTET 2011 result without the roll number, you'll need to use the CBSE Duplicate Document System, searching for details like name, father's name, mother's name, and DOB on the CBSE Academic Document System portal, or try the older CBSEResults Archive with other info.
I hope it will clear your query!!
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:
-
Check your address details in the form to make sure they are correct.
-
Try again after some time, as the portal may load the options later.
-
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 !
