“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 reflects the growing anticipation among the 25.3 lakh candidates who registered for the CTET 2026 exam, which took place on February 7 and 8, 2026.
The sheer number of candidates forced the authorities to conduct the exam over two days, with nearly 25 lakh individuals participating in both Paper 1 and Paper 2. The results are expected to be announced within two weeks after the objection period, which ran from March 12 to March 15, 2026.
The CTET result will serve as a qualification certificate for candidates aspiring to work in central government schools. To qualify, candidates must achieve a minimum score of 60% for the general category and 55% for reserved categories, with the total marks for the exam being 150.
For general category candidates, the minimum qualifying marks stand at 90, while those in reserved categories need to secure at least 82.5 marks. The results will be available in a digital format through DigiLocker and the UMANG app, making it easier for candidates to access their scores.
The CTET certificate is the minimum eligibility to achieve a teaching position, and its validity extends for the lifetime of the candidates. The result will include essential details such as the candidate’s name, roll number, and marks secured.
As the candidates await their results, the statistics from previous years indicate varying pass percentages across different sessions, adding to the suspense of the current outcome.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact date of the CTET 2026 result announcement, but the excitement and anxiety among candidates continue to build as they prepare to check their scores.
