CTET Passing Marks 2026 and Qualifying Marks 2026

This is the most searched section and rightly so. The CTET Qualifying Marks 2026 are set by CBSE and are non-negotiable. Here is the complete breakdown:

Candidates who score at or above these marks are declared qualified and become eligible to download the CTET Digital Certificate. Those who fall short are not issued a certificate for this cycle.

One thing worth knowing: qualifying CTET confirms eligibility it does not secure a teaching post. Job selection depends on separate recruitment processes run by KVS, NVS, Army Public Schools, and state governments.

CTET Final Answer Key 2026 and How Results Were Calculated

The objection process before the publication of the Provisional Results/Answer Keys of CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) Feb 2026 was very systematic. CBSE put up the Provisional Answer Key and Scanned OMR Sheets Live on March 12, 2026. Then candidates were allowed to submit objections against any answers by March 15, 2026, with an additional charge of Rs. 1000/- per Question.

Each valid Objection received in this time frame has been evaluated by Subject Experts. Based on these evaluations, a Revised Final Answer Key was compiled; and this CTET Final Answer Key 2026 is now the basis for all scores being calculated. Thereafter, no changes shall be made to Results.

CTET DigiLocker Certificate: Access Your Digital Marksheet

The digital version of the CTET DigiLocker Certificate (which can be found with a log-in to the CTET Portal) is also being provided by CBSE. The digital certificate is considered and officially recognized as a document and can be used for nearly all central government job recruitments.

How to get your digital copy of CTET through DigiLocker:

1. Log in to your account at digilocker.gov.in or download and install the DigiLocker App.

2. Search for CBSE CTET in the Education Section of DigiLocker.

3. Your CTET 2026 certificate should show up automatically in DigiLocker once your Aadhar linked phone number is matched with that registered on CBSE.

4. Once you have accessed your digital CTET certificate, you may either download it or send it out via email.

Accessing DigiLocker is especially helpful when you are looking for jobs and need to upload documents through an online vacancy application form – many portals allow you to enter the link to your document in DigiLocker instead of uploading a pdf.

CTET Certificate Validity: How Long Does It Last?

The CTET Certificate Validity question comes up every cycle. Here is the current position:

The CTET certificate issued for the February 2026 session is valid for 7 years from the date of issue. This applies to all categories of General and reserved alike.

Older notices from CBSE were published with a statement announcing that the certificates would have lifetime validity. Candidates should refer to www.ctet.nic.in for each cycle’s notice as many of the recruiting organizations also designate their own time limits within which the certification issued through the successful completion of the CTET may be utilized.

The certificates remain valid for seven years after they are awarded and may be applied towards an unlimited number of teaching positions; there is no limitation on the utilization of the certificate.

Paper 1 and Paper 2: Who Can Apply Where?

The CTET Paper 1 and Paper 2 Result determines where you can apply:

• CTET Paper 1 qualified candidates are eligible for Primary Teacher (PRT) posts — teaching Classes 1 to 5 in central and state government schools.

• CTET Paper 2 qualified candidates can apply for Upper Primary Teacher posts covering Classes 6 to 8.

• Candidates who qualify for both papers are eligible across the full Classes 1–8 range.
