This year, around 26.9 lakh candidates had registered for the CTET exam, out of which nearly 84% or around 22.6 lakh candidates appeared for the exam.
The exam was conducted in two papers – Paper 1 was for candidates who wish to teach classes 1 to 5 and Paper 2 was for those interested in teaching classes 6 to 8. Candidates had the option to appear for either one or both the papers based on their interest and eligibility. The exam tested candidates on child development, pedagogy, language abilities among other things. 20 languages were available for candidates to choose from for the language part of the exam.

According to the Director, CTET, “Incorporation of technology in examination related activities and environmental protection is a strong step taken by the Board. The Board is committed to save a huge amount of money and valuable resources like paper, trees and water and reduce carbon emissions.”
The CTET exam is an important stepping stone for many candidates aspiring to become teachers and work in the education sector. The exam opened up teaching opportunities in schools affiliated to CBSE and other schools that consider CTET certification. Many candidates appearing for CTET plan to become teachers in government schools and desire to work in the education sector at the grassroots level.
