Key moments
The PSTET 2026 result is expected to be declared on April 2, 2026, following the Punjab State Teacher Eligibility Test (PSTET) conducted on March 15, 2026. This announcement comes after a series of important dates leading up to the result, including the release of the provisional answer key on March 16, 2026, and the opening of the objection window from March 17 to March 21, 2026.
Candidates who participated in the exam are awaiting the final answer key, which is also expected to be released on April 2, 2026. The PSTET consists of two papers, with a total of 150 marks available. General category candidates must secure a minimum of 90 marks (60%) to qualify, while candidates from SC, ST, OBC, and PH categories need at least 82 marks (55%).
In total, there are 18 days between the exam date and the announcement of the results, a timeline that has kept candidates on edge. Those who qualify will receive a PSTET Eligibility Certificate, which will remain valid for seven years, allowing them to apply for teaching positions in Punjab.
The exam was conducted in offline mode across various centers in Punjab, ensuring accessibility for all candidates. This year, the SCERT Punjab has emphasized the importance of being prepared for the results day, advising all candidates to keep their login credentials ready.
Qualified candidates will be able to download their scorecards and certificates two weeks after the results are announced, providing them with the necessary documentation to pursue teaching opportunities. The anticipation surrounding the PSTET results is significant, as they play a crucial role in the recruitment process for teachers in the state.
As the announcement date approaches, the excitement and anxiety among candidates continue to build. The PSTET serves as a vital step for aspiring teachers in Punjab, and the results will determine their eligibility to enter the teaching profession.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the exact time of the result announcement on April 2, but the SCERT Punjab is expected to provide updates as the date nears. Candidates are encouraged to stay informed through official channels to ensure they do not miss any important information.
