CTET September 2026 Apply Online

CTET September 2026 Apply Online — a certificate verification schedule — is summarised below. The key figures are an application window closing 10 June 2026 and a fee of ₹1,200 for unreserved candidates. Everything below — dates, eligibility, fee and the official links — is set out in the order you will need it.

Teaching recruitment normally requires the subject qualification plus a valid TET or CTET score where the notification specifies it. Certificates are verified strictly against the subject and level applied for, so confirm your TET subject matches the post.

Applications open on 11 May 2026 and close on 10 June 2026, giving candidates 31 days to complete the process. The 31-day window is comfortable, though last-day traffic still causes portal failures every cycle — applying in the first half avoids it. Fee payment closes on 10/06/2026 — note that this can fall on a different day from the form deadline, and an unpaid form is not a submitted form. A correction window is listed (15-18 June 2026), so errors in the submitted form can be fixed within that period rather than by re-applying. The exam is currently shown for As Per Schedule; treat this as provisional until the admit card confirms it.

Fee-paying categories are charged between ₹500 and ₹1,200, depending on category. Payment is accepted via debit card, credit card, net banking, and offline bank challan. Pay only through the official portal linked on this page; the fee is normally non-refundable once the form is submitted.

Document verification is where otherwise-successful candidates most often fall out, usually over a missing category certificate or a name mismatch across documents. Assemble originals plus self-attested photocopies well before the date, and get any discrepancy in spelling or date of birth corrected in advance — it cannot be resolved on the day.
