“Candidates who appeared in the exam will be able to check the CTET results on the official portal at ctet.nic.in, once released,” a CBSE official stated.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to announce the CTET 2026 results shortly, following the examination conducted on February 7 and 8, 2026. With over 25.3 lakh candidates registered, nearly 25 lakh took part in Paper 1 and Paper 2, marking one of the highest participation rates in recent years.
The results are expected to be announced within two weeks after the objection period for the answer key, 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. This translates to a minimum of 90 marks for general candidates and 82.5 marks for those in reserved categories, out of a total of 150 marks.
The result will be available in digital format through DigiLocker and the UMANG app, ensuring easy access for all candidates. It will include essential details such as the candidate’s name, roll number, and marks secured.
The sheer number of candidates forced the authorities to conduct the exam over two days, with 1,803 examination centres set up across the country.
As the anticipation builds, candidates are advised to stay updated on the official website for the latest information regarding the results. The CTET certificate is the minimum eligibility to achieve a teaching position, making the results crucial for many.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact date of the CTET 2026 result announcement, but the board is expected to provide updates soon.
