CTET 2026 Revised Exam Dates Expected Soon After Applications Close
The Central Board of Secondary Education conducts the CTET for teacher-eligibility candidates.
The board reopened applications so eligible people who missed the first deadline could apply.
The second application window closed on September 1.
