Question

Which examination provides eligibility for the recruitment of school teachers at the national level?

• A. CSIR-NET
• B. UGC-NET
• C. CTET
• D. NTA

Hint:

CTET is essential for those who want to teach in central government schools, whereas other exams like UGC-NET and CSIR-NET are focused on higher education and research.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

CTET stands for Central Teacher Eligibility Test.
It is a national-level examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India.
The purpose of CTET is to determine a candidate's eligibility for appointment as a teacher for classes I to VIII in central government schools (like KVS, NVS), union territories, and schools that accept CTET scores.
UGC-NET and CSIR-NET are for determining eligibility for college/university lectureship and for Junior Research Fellowships.
NTA is the National Testing Agency that conducts various exams, but CTET is the specific exam for school teacher eligibility.
