CBSE Expected to Announce Revised Exam Date for CTET September 2026

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is preparing to announce a revised examination date for the Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) September 2026 session. The examination, which was originally scheduled to take place on September 6, 2026, was previously postponed, leaving candidates awaiting an official update regarding the new testing timeline.

As of September 4, 2026, the board has not yet published a specific date for the rescheduled examination on its official portal. The delay follows a recent administrative decision by the CBSE to reopen the application window for the September 2026 session, providing an additional opportunity for prospective candidates who missed the initial registration period to submit their forms.

Details on Application Process and Exam Updates

The reopened application window for the CTET September 2026 session commenced on August 25 and concluded on September 1, 2026. It is important to note that this extension was intended for new applicants only; candidates who had already successfully completed their registration during the primary window were not required to re-apply. The board has clarified that all candidates who have successfully registered for the September 2026 session will be eligible to appear for the test once the new date is confirmed.

While there is widespread anticipation regarding the announcement of the new schedule, the CBSE has maintained that no official date has been finalized at this time. Once the board confirms the revised examination date, it is expected to provide further details concerning the allocation of examination cities, the release of admit cards, and other essential logistical arrangements for test day. Candidates are advised to monitor the official CTET website regularly for the latest notifications and formal updates regarding the examination schedule.
