I have completed post graduation with 72% and continuing B.Ed, but in graduation my score is 49.72%. Can I be eligible to apply for CTET for both papers?

CTET refers to Central Teacher Eligibility Test and same examination is held by CBSE for recruitment of teachers in schools funded by Central governments like KV, JNV, etc. and other CBSE affiliated private schools.

In order to be eligible for both papers of CTET you need to have completed your graduation degree course with at least 50% marks from a recognized university. You must hold B.Ed ( Bachelor of Education ) degree course too. Marks relaxation of 5% is allowed for reserved category candidates.

So having secured 49.72% marks in graduation you are eligible for appearing in CTET only if you belong to reserved category as for general category candidates the minimum marks required in graduation is 50%.

For more details regarding CTET you can refer to the link www.ctet.nic.in.
