Exam City Details to Be Released First
The examination city information will be released ahead of the admit card. This update will inform candidates about the city allotted for their examination and the specific date on which they are scheduled to appear.
The city information should help candidates make travel arrangements in advance, particularly those who may be allotted a center outside their home city.
However, candidates should note that the exam city information will not include the exact address of the examination center.
Admit Card Two Days Before Exam
CBSE has confirmed that the CTET admit card will be made available for download two days before the examination.
The admit card will contain the details of the examination center. Candidates should download it once it is released and carefully verify their examination date, center address, and other instructions.
Since the CTET December 2026 will be conducted on two separate dates, candidates should rely on the date allotted to them through the official CTET portal.
Candidates Should Track the CTET Portal
With the examination dates now officially announced, candidates can plan the final phase of their preparation around the December 12 and 13 schedule.
The next important development will be the release of the examination city information, followed shortly by the admit card before the test. Candidates are advised to check the CTET portal as the examination approaches regularly.
The September 14 notice is currently the key official update regarding the conduct of the 22nd Edition of CTET.
