CBSE to Close CTET September 2026 Registration Window Tomorrow

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to close the application window for the September 2026 session of the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) tomorrow, September 1. This registration period was specifically reopened to accommodate candidates who were unable to complete their applications during the initial phase, which concluded on June 10.

The decision to reopen the portal follows a directive from the Supreme Court regarding the mandatory Teacher Eligibility Test qualification for educators. By providing this additional window, the board aims to ensure that all eligible teaching professionals have sufficient time to fulfill the necessary qualification requirements as per the recent legal developments.

Application Guidelines and Next Steps

Candidates who have not yet submitted their applications are advised to visit the official website at ctet.nic.in to complete the process. The procedure requires applicants to navigate to the designated link for CTET 2026 registration, provide the necessary information, upload required documentation, and finalize the submission by paying the prescribed application fee. It is important to note that individuals who successfully registered during the initial phase earlier this year do not need to apply again.

While the registration deadline is now imminent, many candidates are awaiting information regarding the revised examination schedule. The CBSE has officially confirmed that the new date for the September 2026 CTET will be announced following the closure of the application portal. The examination was originally slated to take place in September, and further updates regarding the revised timeline and subsequent issuance of admit cards will be provided by the board through its official communication channels.
