The CTET or Central Teacher Eligibility Test is one of the most prestigious exams to build a career in the teaching profession in India. It is the most popular exam, as most of the candidates have a dream to become teachers in different schools and spread education among the students. CTET is conducted by CBSE (the full form is Central Board of Secondary Education).

After clearing the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), you can apply for various teaching positions in central government schools, UT (Union Territory) schools, and some private schools. Specifically, you can apply for positions like Primary Teacher (PRT) and Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT) in schools like Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVS), Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVS), and other central government-run institutions, as well as in schools under the administration of UTs like Delhi, Chandigarh, and others. Many private schools also consider CTET scores as part of their recruitment process.

Here are some posts you can apply for:

1. Primary Teacher (PRT): This role involves teaching classes 1 to 5 and typically requires a Diploma in Elementary Education (D.El.Ed) along with CTET qualification.
2. Trained Graduate Teacher (TGT): This position involves teaching classes 6 to 8 and requires a Bachelor’s degree in any stream, a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed) degree, and the CTET qualification.
3. Teaching positions in Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVS) and Navodaya Vidyalayas (NVS).
4. Teaching positions in schools under the administrative control of UTs: These include schools in Delhi, Chandigarh, etc.
5. Teaching positions in some private schools: Many private schools recognize CTET as a valid eligibility criterion.

Maine CTET clear kiya hai, ab confuse hu ki PRT ke liye apply karu ya TGT ke liye. Aap log suggest karo, konsa better hoga?

Ravindra apne CTET clear kiya hai, aur ab PRT ya TGT ke beech decision lena hai. Agar apne CTET Paper 1 clear kiya hai to PRT ke liye eligible ho (Class 1–5), aur agar Paper 2 bhi clear hai to TGT (Class 6–10) ka option bhi hai.

PRT me chhoti classes ko padhana hota hai, workload kam hota hai lekin patience zyada chahiye.
TGT me subject-depth ka padhana hota hai, salary aur promotion ka scope zyada hai.
PRT ka competition zyada hota hai, kyunki eligibility simple hai, jabki TGT me subject-specific vacancies hoti hain.
Chunav ka aadhar ho: Eligibility + Interest + Career Goals.
Agar aapko chhote bachchon ko padhana pasand hai to PRT, aur agar aap subject teaching aur growth chahte hain to TGT better hoga.

CTET is an eligibility test, or a recruitment exam?

DEVIL

NehaM CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) is only an eligibility test, not a recruitment exam.

How long is the CTET certificate valid, and can I use the same certificate for multiple job applications?

harshs

Monukumar999 The CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) certificate is now valid for a lifetime, as per the updated guidelines by the Ministry of Education (since 2021). This means once you qualify CTET, your certificate does not expire and can be used throughout your teaching career.
Yes, you can use the same CTET certificate for multiple job applications, including KVS, NVS, DSSSB, Army Public Schools, and other central or state teaching posts (where CTET is accepted). There is no limit to how many times or where you use it, as long as the job post requires CTET qualification.
