“Candidates who appeared in the exam will be able to check the CTET results on the official portal at ctet.nic.in, once released.” This statement underscores the urgency felt by the over 25 lakh candidates who registered for the CTET 2026 exam, conducted on February 7 and 8, 2026.
The sheer number of candidates forced the authorities to conduct the exam over two days, reflecting the high participation rates that have characterized the CTET in recent years. Nearly 25 lakh candidates appeared for both Paper 1 and Paper 2, demonstrating the exam’s significance in qualifying for teaching positions in central government schools.
Results are expected to be announced within two weeks after the objection period ends, which ran from March 12 to March 15, 2026. Candidates must achieve a minimum score of 60% for the general category and 55% for reserved categories to qualify, with the total marks for the CTET exam set at 150.
The CTET certificate is the minimum eligibility to achieve a teaching position, and its validity lasts a lifetime. Once released, the result will be available in digital format through DigiLocker and the UMANG app, providing easy access for candidates.
The result will include essential details such as the candidate’s name, roll number, and marks secured. Historical data indicates varying pass percentages across different sessions, adding to the anticipation surrounding this year’s results.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact date of the CTET 2026 result announcement, but candidates are advised to stay updated through the official website.
