NEW DELHI — The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has formally deferred the nationwide administration of the 22nd Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET), originally scheduled for September 6, 2026. The postponement follows an extraordinary reopening of the registration window that concluded on September 1, 2026, aimed at accommodating thousands of in-service teachers seeking statutory compliance under updated judicial guidelines. CBSE confirmed that a rationalized test schedule and revised examination date will be released shortly on its official portal, ctet.nic.in.
